Guests say
Wickhams View in Keswick is highly praised for its spacious, comfortable accommodation and unbeatable central location, making it ideal for exploring the town and surrounding walks. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, cleanliness, and the convenience of a dedicated parking space. While access via a spiral staircase and through a pedestrian area can be challenging, most found these minor compared to the overall experience. Some guests noted minor maintenance issues and suggested improvements to bedding and lighting, but the majority would happily return, highlighting the property’s excellent value and welcoming atmosphere.
Most guests found the apartment spotlessly clean and well maintained, with only occasional comments about windows needing cleaning or bedding appearing tired. Overall, cleanliness is a strong point.
The location is universally praised for being central yet quiet, with easy access to Keswick’s amenities and walking routes. The only drawback mentioned is the tricky access by car through a pedestrian area.
Guests consistently describe the apartment as spacious and comfortable, with good heating and seating. Some mention issues with the bed being too soft or creaky, and a few note the spiral staircase may be difficult for those with mobility issues.
The property is well equipped, with a good kitchen, bathroom, and parking. Minor issues include occasional maintenance needs (e.g., fridge shelf, shower head, lighting) and some confusion over parking spaces.
Guests appreciated clear instructions and a helpful welcome booklet. However, some noted the absence of a welcome hamper or basic supplies, and it should be noted that gifts or welcome packs are not guaranteed.

This was my 12th year staying here so Definitely would recommend, Nice to see it's had a Refresh including Electric fire, Pictures, Furniture. But still the same minor problems Bed sheets don't fit the mattress, and the Pillows are rubbish. Also the Light in the Bathroom is very Dim which means that you can't see yourself in the mirror to shave. It's possible to replace the current light with a identical LED one for just a few pounds and it would be 100 % Brighter and more cost affective.
