The Ridgeway is a beautiful Victorian property, with many personal touches to create a 'home from home' feel and ideal for those wishing to be close to all local amenities but just out of the way of traffic and crowds.

There are two large sofas and an open fire for cosy winter nights, with dining table in the picture postcard bay window. There is a Smart TV, DVD and games console with blue-tooth DAB Radio / CD player and plenty of Lakeland guides.

The twin bedroom with new oak furniture (chest of drawers and wardrobe) and DAB radio is also on the first floor with lovely views towards Latrigg. This room can be converted to a King-size bed upon request.

The first floor bathroom is fully tiled and has a double ended bath, separate shower cubicle, towel rail and wash hand basin. There is a separate WC on this floor.

On the ground floor there is a bright double bedroom with a leather sofa positioned in the bay window overlooking the patio/garden.

Stayed numerous times in this property and staying again next year. Well equipped with everything you need to stay in a great central location with easy access to pubs/shops but still on a quiet street.

Traveled to the Lake District for the first time from the US so did not know much abut the area before but luckily found this accommodation in the perfect location. The layout with one bedroom on the ground floor was bit unusual but it did allow for privacy and quiet between the 2 bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed and the 2 bathrooms were clean with plenty of hot water to warm up after a chilly day. The house did take a while to heat up so take that in mind.

10.0 / 10.0

The Accommodation we booked through Keswick Cottages, is a lovely place to rest and recuperate after a days walking. The beds are very comfortable and afforded a great nights sleep. The apartment is centrally located in Keswick and good for all the amenities the town has to offer. We enjoy staying here having stayed here on two previous occasions.

I stopped at the Ridgeway with my father for a week. The property is very centrally located with a dedicated parking space that is really useful for the general area (not a huge space if the others are in use and you have a big car, but I have a Focus and it was great). The Ridgeway is the entrance on the ground floor but the apartment has 2 levels and a lovely view from the dining table (see the site photo gallery). Kitchen was very well equipped and suitable for a wide variety of cooking. Beds and bedrooms very comfortable. Heating worked really well which was useful as we were there on a bad week for wind and rain! Lots of books and DVDs left by the owners in case of needing a quiet day in and also some good information on walks and stuff. Nice utility room for drying stuff out too. WiFi excellent too. Keswick Cottages were very responsive to a couple of queries I had. I'd definitely stay again as I didn't want to leave

The house is very comfortable and spacious. It is well-equipped and the dog welcome pack was a lovely touch. The view from the living room was stunning as we could see the hills as we were eating breakfast. It was really good to have 2 toilets, although the downstairs one was a bit chilly as it didn't have a radiator, but there was a fan heater. Otherwise we had a lovely break in a great location.

10.0 / 10.0

The Ridgeway is in a great location, lots of walks from the door and perfect for town. The accommodation was very well equipped on particular the kitchen. There is everything you need for preparing and cooking meals. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable, the best we have come across in a long time. It was also nice to have a bathroom on each floor. It was lovely to have somewhere to sit out, as the weather was so nice.

8.0 / 10.0

Right in the centre of town with easy access to the shops. Lovely view of fells from dining area and abundance of books to inspire exploration. The property is multilevel which could prove challenging for some. Modern kitchen comprehensively equipped far better than experienced elsewhere, but detachment from the dining room via steep stairs was less than ideal. Utility area very useful however, being basement, always felt to be slightly damp as did the modern downstairs bathroom. Notwithstanding the spacious bathroom next door, a hand basin in the upstairs WC would be helpful. Parking can be a bit tricky if others ignore the signage but the town centre location reduces car use. Enthusiastic customer service from Keswick Cottages before, during and after the rental and the owners went out of their way to assist us with grocery delivery when we were delayed by road closure.

This was the fifth time we have stayed at The Ridgeway. Lovely property in brilliant location. Excellent customer service all round and our two Border Terriers loved the doggie welcome packs!

10.0 / 10.0

The property is a little quirky, with the kitchen, utility room and master king room downstairs and living room with great views plus another bedroom and main bathroom upstairs. Having a utility room is great and we hired a baby gate to replicate sleeping arrangements for our dog at home. There is also a really useful entrance hall from the front, which is ideal for removing boots before going into the property. The bed and furniture is comfortable in our opinion. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything worked well. As always with Keswick Cottages the property was very clean and well presented. There is a parking space which we used. This being Keswick, once in the space we hardly moved the car. The space is tight and we wouldn’t have wanted to be moving every day. We have quite a big car and a smaller car would be easier. The apartment above was a little noisy the last couple of days of our stay, which did unsettle our dog. We were pleased it was empty for the first part of the week. All in all great to be so central with parking. There’s even a gap through to the Rawnsley Car Park where there’s some green space to ‘water’ the dog before bedtime, etc, so very handy.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location with a parking space. Beds very comfortable. Upstairs bathroom very good. Some crockery in kitchen disappointing otherwise well equipped. Downstairs shower room floor was soaking wet on arrival, on third day used kitchen roll to dry it and it stayed dry then. Fabulous views from upstairs lounge, excellent book selection. Airing wardrobes and drawers may be beneficial.

10.0 / 10.0

From booking to check out everything was so easy. Communication was excellent and detailed. We spent a good bit of time hiking the nearby trails then enjoying a pint in one of the lovely pubs in town. An easy walk to a great market for those that wish to cook. It has great hiking snacks as well. Fell in love with the chicken chorizo scotch egg, it may be the perfect hiking snack. Be sure to stop by one of the many pubs for great beer and food. Keswick is very dog friendly and we loved sitting with a pint watching the dogs and chatting with owners. Be aware the property is multi level and the stairs may seem worse after the Skiddaw climb. We are planning our return visit.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay as The Ridgeway is in an ideal location for walking into Keswick and also reaching 2 supermarkets. Apartment is comfortable, beds and linen very nice. Kitchen well stocked, just be aware all the knives need sharpening as they’re completely blunt! Views from the first floor living room lovely, also nice and bright The downstairs shower room works fine but the shower itself is very small so would be awkward to use for anyone larger than a size 12 woman Weather not good enough for us to sit out but there is a private patio area which will get the sun afternoon/evening A single parking space, bit tight for an average size car ( focus) but very convenient at the front of house

Three of us plus a dog stayed there . The Ridgeway was very clean & comfortable. The kitchen was really well equipped. It is an excellent base for staying in the Lakes & has its own dedicated car space which is a bonus in Keswick . Wonderful views over to the hills from the dining room . Would definitely stay there again easy access to the town & shops . We were also lucky to have brilliant weather .

The Ridgeway met all my expectations in terms of facilities and items provided. I’ve never had a property with a cocktail shaker and cocktail glasses before! When I raised a small issue with Keswick Cottages it was dealt with very promptly. All the staff I spoke to were pleasant and courteous. Being close to both the town centre and the bus station was ideal. Only the steep hill to the property presented a challenge! My daughter and son-in-law are keen cyclists, and the rear access and the utility room meant the property met their requirements for access and safe storage. Overall, a lovely property!

10.0 / 10.0

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was comfortable and clean, with lovely views from the lounge window. Good to have lots of books and games provided. And we made use of the front patio on a few occasions. The parking space is a bonus. We thought it was in an excellent location in the town, a quiet no through round but the benefit of being staggering distance to all the pubs, restaurants and shops. We would definitely book again!

Handsome building in excellent condition. Good location for town centre, shops and restaurants and bus station. Reasonable distance from parks and theatre. Kitchen modern with good facilities, nice bathrooms and bedrooms, good to have option of 2 double beds.

Excellent service from Keswick Cottages. Very quick with responses asking for a last minute break next day. House was all ready for us and glad I requested loggs for the open fire which was fantastic to have . Didn't mind staying in sitting at the cosy fire when it rained. Lovely views. Kitchen well equipped. Location very close to town. Only criticism would be fluffier pillows in the main bedroom and I felt the sofa wasn't very comfortable for me.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location, well equipped kitchen, & comfortable place to stay, & having our dog with us with Fitz park just around the corner was a bonus, & also the property had a back door entrance into a large utility room which was great for drying off & cleaning up the dog before entering the carpeted areas,private parking space for one vehicle right across from the property

Had a really comfortable stay at The Ridgeway after deciding to book for the weekend on the spur of the moment. Great location near the centre of Keswick yet fairly quiet. Beautiful well equipped kitchen. Lovely bathroom with a lovely deep bath. Great views from the lounge over towards Catbells and the Newlands Valley. Booked a number of times with Keswick Cottages at various locations and never disappointed.

This is the seventh time staying at the Ridgeway. It’s a perfect place to stay and all within walking distance to the town centre, lake and surrounding parks. Plus it has its own parking space. The house is perfect for us and our two little dogs as it has a secure front garden. The kitchen is fully equipped and well stocked. Beautiful views from the living room. Highly recommend this property.

Great 2 bed house with enclosed front yard, 100 yards from the main street. Central location and also close to park and river greta. Great for dog walks and property easy and quick to centrally heat when needed

10.0 / 10.0

We were very happy with the accommodation. It's location from the centre of Keswick was perfect for my dad, who is 93, and can't walk too far. At the top end of the road and only a few mins walk, there is access to Fitz park over the Greta river which is very pretty. The accommodation is quirky in its layout but comfortable, with great views of the hills from the living/dining room and very quiet at night. The kitchen is fabulous and very well stocked with all the utensils etc. you need. I definitely recommend this property.

We had a lovely short break at The Ridgeway, helped by some beautiful weather. We found it an ideally positioned base for our stay, with shops, pubs, lake, buses all within an easy few minutes stroll, and more serious walks possible straight from the front door. We didn't use our car once during our 4 day stay! The property was great too. Very well equipped and comfortable once we got used to the interesting room layout and the slightly unexpected stairs, and a fabulous view from the sitting room bay window. If we had to find something to improve it would be the mattress on the main bed, but it wasn't a problem. Keswick Cottages were very straightforward to deal with, and in our limited contacts with them we found them helpful and friendly. We would happily book again, and indeed hope to do so soon!

Had a great 4 night stay in Ridgeway with the pup; great location, ideal access into the town centre. Ideal facilities for those with a dog, the back door to the property gives access directly to a spacious boot room, perfect for bringing in wet dogs. Will definitely rebook this property.

10.0 / 10.0

We were a family of 4 adults plus a well behaved dog. The house suited us perfectly. It is clean, smart, pleasant, comfortable beds and sofas. Enjoyed cooking in the modern kitchen. Upstairs bath/shower room is super with a 2nd bathroom downstairs. The boot/bike/dog drying/washing machine room is a great addition and helps keep everything clean and tidy. Scenic views from the lounge window. It is a minute's walk away from the centre, with all the shops, restaurants etc, yet tucked away on a quiet cul de sac with the added bonus of a reserved parking spot. A walk in opposite direction for 2 minutes, across the river foortbridge and we were in the lovely large Fitz Park, which is a brilliant park, great for walking a dog or going to the children's play area. On our next trip to Keswick we will certainly be seeking this house out again.

10.0 / 10.0

Great place. Comfy, spacious, great location, clean and everything you need for a stay away. Only negative was that the property above it had very noisy floorboards, so we were woken up at 6am most mornings.

Had a great 4 night stay at Ridgeway, the accommodation was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Will look forward to staying again in the future.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Keswick and the location of the cottage and the views from the from room. The are some areas that could be improved. The heating did not always come on in the morning. Lots of signs saying not to touch it but we had to manually switch it on. The bed in the main bedroom really does need to be more luxurious. The mattress is not comfortable at all. Also the tv in bedroom is far too small. The second bedroom seemed a little dirty like it had not been cleaned. It had someone’s discarded fake eyelashes on the carpet which was a little unpleasant. (See behind bed side table) The facilities in the cottage are excellent with all the kitchen utensils and washing machine dryer and dishwasher. Overall a lovely cottage but with a couple of small improvements in comfort would be a 5 star.

We loved our stay at The Ridgeway over Christmas. Possibly our favourite place we have stayed in Keswick…ever! Easy to find, parking space opposite the property. We found the property to be comfortable, cosy and well equipped. It was always warm, comfy bed, or red etc sofas to relax on and what a great view from the lounge. The shower was hot and powerful. The kitchen was well equipped (we cooked Christmas dinner and had everything we needed!) Lovely welcome items plus the little essentials to make sure you could settle in without having to head straight to the shops. The lounge was decorated for Christmas too! Due to the awful weather all week we were inside a lot….but this never gelt a hardship as we found the property a perfect place to relax and chill out. In short, we loved it. We were quite sad to say goodbye to it (wish we owned it!). Highly recommended. Central enough for convenience but just far enough away from the noise of the town. A real haven of peace in a busy place. We can’t wait to go back to The Ridgeway The booking process was also zero hassle. Lovely friendly team at Keswick Cottages! All in all a perfect experience start to finish.

Great quiet location just off the Main Street. Couldn’t ask for anything else for a base while visiting the town. Kitchen was extremely well stock with equipment and there’s plenty room. Ideal for a family or even two couples as two separate bathrooms. Would highly recommend and will certainly book again

10.0 / 10.0

Booked really short notice to extend our week in the lakes due to the weather being good and wanting to do walks in this area. This house is great for serious walkers as so many great walks to do from your doorstep without taking car it also has a huge utility /boot room which is a must for all your wet weather gear and getting it dries for the next day. House is in central Keswick so close to everything you need pubs, restaurants, takeaways and outdoor shops! It also has an allocated parking space which again is fantastic and required in this location. House is big and comfortable good bed and nice linens. Was also clean and very well equipped with washing machine and separate tumble dryer again essential for winter walking!! Views from bedroom and living room windows are amazing our only small very tiny negative was the separate toilet to rest of bathroom having to go next door to wash hands. However it did benefit from downstairs shower room. Would definitely recommend Ridgeway if staying in Keswick close to everything, homely and has a nice little outside patio to enjoy the view!

Lovely accommodation in town. Easy access parking slots need more definition as quite tight. Washer and drier are important in the lake district. It rained constantly on our weekend.

10.0 / 10.0

My wife and I plus our daughters dog stayed midweek at the Ridgeway. First impressions were how clean and tidy the property looked. It is comfortable and very convenient for Keswick town centre and all its amenities. This our second stay at the Ridgeway and we had an equally relaxing time exploring the Lake District. We would definitely stay again.

8.0 / 10.0

Super views from main window, nice front terrace to sit out on which caught the sun, wonderfully convenient for town centre yet quiet. Slight negatives - parking space is tight (but you do get one right outside the property which is good), and kitchen is downstairs whilst living/dining room is upstairs. Main double bed has a raised plinth at the bottom which is slightly annoying for taller people who want to stretch out. Good facilities, we recommend this apartment.

10.0 / 10.0

Ridgeway was perfect! It is spacious, very well equipped and very clean. It’s in a prime location with a lovely outside area to enjoy the sunshine that we had! Highly recommended.
