About this cottage rental
Skiddaw Skies is situated in a quiet no through road in the heart of Keswick, an ideal location for easy access to local amenities, Fitz Park and the beautiful Lake Derwentwater, yet tucked away from any passing traffic or passers-by. This beautiful apartment is the upper floors of a lovely Victorian property, accessed by a flight of steps, and its elevated position provides fabulous panoramic views across the fells from all windows.
The lounge is spacious, light and comfortable, with two settees, dining table and chairs, internet enabled Smart TV with integrated DVD, CD player and large windows looking across Keswick towards Catbells and the north western fells. This room has an open fire for cosy winter evenings and books and maps on the local area are provided.
The modern fitted kitchen is situated next to the lounge and is well equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, microwave and a breakfast bar with great Latrigg views.
The luxurious main bathroom is fitted to a high standard, with a large shower, roll-top bath, wash basin and WC.
On the middle floor, there are two adjacent bedrooms. The large double bedroom has oak furniture providing plenty of storage space, a flat-screen TV and a super-king sized bed from which the fantastic fell views can be admired. This room has an ensuite bathroom with a shower, wash basin and WC.
The second bedroom has twin beds, oak furniture and views towards Skiddaw.
The top loft floor of Skiddaw Skies has been recently converted to a third bedroom with twin beds, oak furniture and ensuite WC with basin. The two large velux windows on either side of this room provide amazing views of both Skiddaw and the north western fells. All bedrooms are dressed in luxury linens and towels.
There is a superb roof terrace with furniture which is the perfect place to sit and take in the wonderful scenery over a sunny breakfast or on summer evenings. A private parking space for one car is allocated just opposite the property.
Skiddaw Skies is suitable for bookings with one small dog.
Please note the property has a number of flights of stairs so may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.
Reduced occupancy may be available for this property if only one or two bedrooms are required. Please contact the office to enquire.

We stayed in Skiddaw Skies and the downstairs property The Ridgeway as a party of 10 ladies celebrating my 50th birthday! The accomodation was spot on for what we were looking for being perfectly located for the town centre but also walking distance to the lake!
The property was well fitted out with everything needed including a fabulous coffee machine which luckily used the same coffee pods as my own machine back home! The bed linen and towels were of superb quality, which all added to the homely feel!
We would totally recommend this property and are now hoping to make this trip an annual event going forward! Can't wait to come back!

Great location. Super property. Enjoyed by my clients. Amazing views. Photos do not do it justice.
XC60 car to park. Its tight, but it's parking which is tough in Keswick. If you've anything bigger it would be hard.
Everything else spot on. Would stay again.

Our first stay at Skiddaw Skies and we had a wonderful few days.
A lovely property in a great location in town and amazing views of the surrounding fells. There's loads of space at the entrance for coats and shoes and a warm cosy feel to the place. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and the welcome packs for us and the dog were a nice touch. Beds were comfy and the showers good. We were lucky with the weather so got some good walking done but there's masses of books, games, dvds etc provided for rainy days or for those who just want to chill.
It's worth being aware that the allocated parking space is a little tight so if you have a big vehicle it might be a struggle, and also to mention if you have mobility issues this property isn't for you as there's A LOT of stairs!
