About this cottage rental
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.
The fully enclosed south facing patio has wonderful views to the fells for perfect al fresco dining. Private parking is allocated opposite for one car.
The large, bright lounge with high ceilings on the first floor has a fabulous bay window looking out over Keswick to Catbells and the fells beyond. 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. There is a double bed, with plenty of storage, a flat screen TV/DVD, dressing table and lovely high ceilings. Both bedrooms are dressed with luxury linens and fresh white fluffy towels.
The very modern kitchen is also on the ground floor with newly fitted units, granite worktops, built in electric oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washer/dryer and breakfast bar, with well stocked cupboards with everything you would need on a self-catering holiday.
There is a sizeable utility room at the back of the apartment for walking gear and bikes, providing rear access to the street.
The downstairs shower room has a shower, WC and wash hand basin.

The Ridgeway is a great base for exploring Keswick and the Northern Lake District. The property is very comfortable, well equipped (particularly the kitchen) and the lounge/diner gives lovely views over the town and the local fells, with a nice real fire to keep off the chill on a winter's evening - the rest of the house stayed comfortably warm with the preset Central Heating. Beds very comfortable, plenty of warm water and nice showers (even the smaller downstairs one, although this room was a little cramped and needed the handy fan heater). It was immaculately clean with lots of thoughtful touches like the motion sensor lights on the steps and entrances to the property, boot & coat room in the entranceway, a good supply of books, games and jigsaws etc and easy-to-use appliances and wi-fi. Location, just off the town centre and 5 mins from Booth's supermarket, was perfect and the allocated parking space made it hassle-free both when staying in Keswick or driving to other areas and returning to our own dedicated spot. We would highly recommend this property if it's kept at a reasonable price (we stayed in November and booked just a couple of weeks before so obtained a reduced rate for our four night stay).
It may benefit other guests to be reminded that there quite a few steps/stairs up to and inside the property if any of their party has mobility issues or are infirm (although our oldest party member is over 80 and she had no problems with this), but for the majority of guests who would be likely to book this type of property it should be near the top of their short list! We hope to return in 2026.

The Ridgeway is one of our favourite places to stay in Keswick. Tastefully furnished, well equipped and in a great location with stunning views.
We had an issue with the heating and Julia, the owner, sorted it very quickly.

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.
