The apartment is in a great location with lots of walks close by. It is spacious and has everything you will need for your stay. The beds are very comfortable and it is has excellent showers. It was also very quiet. I do recommend it but the only thing to bear in mind is the lack of WiFi. There is a WiFi code but that didn't give us Internet access and so most of the Apps on the TV didn't work. Also there wasn't any mobile signal in the apartment. When we needed to make calls or access the Internet we had to go and sit in the car. We did try the contact number to see if anything could be done about the Wi-Fi as it has not been mentioned in reviews before, but had to leave a request for a call back as couldn't speak to anyone. We called a few times when we were out but didn't receive a call back when we had a phone signal and we didn't get chance to visit the office. Despite this we would still go back as its a lovely, comfortable apartment and we enjoyed our stay.

What a find! The apartment was roomy, clean and very well positioned with private parking. There was a good footpath, just a mile to the center of Keswick. We have stayed in the area a lot and this is the best yet.
