Guests say
Guests consistently praise the central location, cleanliness, and comfort of the '5 Balmoral House' apartment in Keswick. The property is noted for its proximity to local amenities, stunning views, and included parking. While the multiple flights of stairs are mentioned, they do not detract from the overall positive experience. The apartment is well-equipped for a pleasant stay, though some minor maintenance issues and a lack of basic provisions upon arrival are noted.
The apartment receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'lovely and clean' and 'very clean and modern'. This suggests that the property is well-maintained in terms of hygiene.
The location is highly praised for being central, with easy access to the town center, restaurants, the lake, and parking. The convenience and proximity to local attractions are consistently highlighted as a major plus.
Comfort is frequently commended, with guests finding the apartment 'very comfortable' and 'perfect for relaxing in'. The comfortable bed and modern amenities contribute to a pleasant stay, although the mention of stairs may affect those with mobility issues.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the apartment described as 'equipped with everything we needed' and 'has everything you need for a 1 week stay'. However, some minor maintenance issues and a lack of instructions for the radiators slightly lower the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Lovely little flat in Keswick, the only reason I marked it down a star was the noisy drinkers at night. There is a new street food/cocktail venue opposite which woke me on the nights they were open! Otherwise it was warm, comfortable and well equipped for us and a great central location for exploring the northern fells

Excellent location with parking. Everything you needed was there for a few days stay. The steep 50 steps to the door will be an issue for some folks, but we were fine with that.
