Guests say
High Views in Keswick is a well-equipped, centrally located apartment that guests return to for its convenience, warmth, and cleanliness. The property is praised for its private parking, quiet setting, and comfortable furnishings. While some found the stairs tiring after long walks and the apartment warm at times, most found it cosy and inviting. Minor issues such as oven performance, key arrangements, and occasional cleaning oversights were noted, but did not detract from an overall positive experience.
Guests consistently mention the apartment is clean and well looked after, with only rare minor oversights such as sticky oven shelves or some utensils not fully cleaned. These are described as exceptions rather than the norm.
The location is highly praised for being central, quiet, and within easy walking distance of Keswick's amenities and the fells. Private parking is a significant bonus.
The apartment is described as warm, welcoming, and comfortable, with particular mention of the king-sized bed and settees. Some guests found the apartment too warm and the stairs challenging after long walks, but overall comfort is rated highly.
Facilities are generally excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen, dishwasher, and fans provided. Some guests noted issues with the oven not heating sufficiently and suggested a washing machine would be preferable to a dishwasher for longer stays.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

Genuinely a nice apartment which we’ve stayed at twice before this visit. Nicely located though as a second floor apartment the stairs can be tiring after a long walk. It has a well equipped kitchen and the pans etc all looked new so it was well looked after. The dishwasher is a plus and more important than a washing machine for a weeks holiday. Some utensils weren’t however fully cleaned, we assume hand washed on leaving day by the previous renter. The settee’s are comfortable as is the king sized bed ( we only ever go to places with king size and wish cottage companies had a filter on their search facilities for king size). It had two tower fans which was great in the 30 degree heat we had towards the end of the week, though it was still very hot inside. Great for parking too, albeit the spaces are narrow. Our only issue is the bottom fan oven which doesn’t get hot enough. We left it to preheat for 40 minutes and it still didn’t reach temperature. We cooked food with the thermostat generally set 40 degrees higher than the product said to cook at and it was still barely cooked. We didn’t have any chicken dishes out of concern over the oven temperature. We had a similar issue last year too and I noted the guest book said others had expressed concerns too, but it had been checked and found to be okay. I don’t believe that it can be okay, and our oven at home would blast your face if opened when set at 180 yet you could put your hand inside comfortably the apartments at 240.

Lovely place, stairs can be hard going if you have walked a long way. Great for two people. The apartment can get very hot summer and winter. I like it and I live by sea. Jeff

Stayed here three times previously as it is perfect for our needs. Central location with own parking. Clean throughout and has everything we required, although a washing machine instead of a dishwasher in the kitchen would be a better use of space. Keys to main entrance door was a little tricky but I would recommend this apartment.Ma
