Appletree - a house that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Appletree is in the quiet Lakeside village of Portinscale (just outside Keswick) and has some fabulous views of the surrounding fells with local access to lakeshore and marinas.

On the ground floor there is a large open plan lounge, dining/kitchen area with patio doors out onto a paved patio area and enclosed garden. The lounge has two, three seater settees, an easy chair, TV, DVD, CD player and an open fire (ideal for a cosy night in). The kitchen is well fitted and has fridge, freezer, double fan oven and gas hob, dishwasher, microwave etc. Off the kitchen there is a small pantry for food storage.

On the ground floor there is a large bedroom with Smart TV and zip/link beds which as standard is made up as a super king size bed but can be made up as two single beds (there is a £15 charge for this). Also on this floor there is a fully tiled shower room with large drench shower,WC and wash basin.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king-size bed, is nicely furnished and has lovely views towards the fells. Off this room is a fully tiled en-suite shower room with drench shower, WC and wash hand basin (with underfloor heating to the tiled floor during the winter months). The twin room is spacious and has Smart TV, two single beds wardrobe, drawers, dressing table etc. and again has fabulous views towards the fells. The fourth bedroom has a double bed and looks out towards Skiddaw. This room is offered at £50 for a short break and £75 for a full week. All bedrooms are beautifully dressed with luxury linen and towels.

The fully tiled bathroom has a bath ( which can be turned into a Jacuzzi Bath at an additional charge if requested) separate curved shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.

The house also benefits from a fantastic multi-purpose garage/utility space, with plenty of room to securely store bikes, kayaks etc. as well as hanging space for walking gear, a washer/dryer, and there's even a hot or cold dog wash so your canine companion can get squeaky clean before heading inside to get comfortable after a day out exploring!

To the outside there is an enclosed garden and patio with table, chairs & parasol. Please be aware this property is not suitable for hot tub hire.

There will be no need to worry about parking as the property has a large private driveway.

Great house and good location for walking into Keswick.

The house was very comfortable and had everything you would require beds were comfortable and showers were great. It was a short distance to Keswick if you like to walk. The pub over the road was a bonus a 5 minute walk. Parking at the property was also great as you didn’t need to take the car anywhere as long as you are fit enough to walk. We have in fact booked again for next year.

Perfect stay

Family of four adults staying for five nights. We loved this spacious home from home accommodation in a perfect location, within walking distance into Keswick. Brilliant views over surrounding hills. Hot showers and plenty of storage space in the garage for bikes etc. We were blessed with fantastic weather too. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Very comfortable and well located property

We had a very comfortable stay at Appletree. The property is well located with easy access to Keswick and Derwent Water. Appletree is very well equipped with plenty of crockery, glasses etc. The afternoon and evening sun hit the table and chairs in the garden making it very relaxing for an evening drink! Lovely holiday home!

Xmas at the lakes

We were a family of 6 adults (3 couples) with dogs spending Xmas day in the Lakes. Firstly the drive was huge so no problem with parking and the check in instructions were clear and simple. Three bedrooms was a godsend for us! The house has everything we could have needed for our stay, including a really well stocked kitchen for us to prepare Xmas dinner Also the pub around the corner was nice after a long walk. Took us around half hour to walk in to Keswick. The biscuits and prosecco were a lovely touch but the dog gift boxed were the very best!! We loved our stay, thank you

Five stars in all respects

We could not have found a better place for our family reunion - three couples and a small dog. It is a lovely property with a great layout and three bathrooms. There is a wrap around garden which catches the sun at different times of the day for a sit /eat out (weather permitting). Over and above the description!

Our third stay in Appletree

Our third stay in this lovely quiet property. With three bathrooms, an enclosed garden, and secure storage for bikes and outdoor equipment Appletree has everything we need for 5 active adults and a couple of dogs. The addition of an airfryer to the kitchen equipment was a real bonus this year.

our stay at Appletree

We have been coming to Keswick for about 15 years and have stayed at many different properties. Last year we decided to try Appletree as it was going to be quieter than the centre of Keswick. The location is great for going on walks near the lake. The property is well maintained and very comfortable and feels at home as soon as we arrive. This is our second visit to the property and have already booked for next year.

Our stay in appletree

This is our second stay in Appletree , it is a well equipped and spacious house in the lovely quiet location of Portinscale but within an easy fifteen minute walk of Keswick ,we particularly liked having two shower rooms and a bathroom with seven of us sharing ,also the dog washing fascility in the garage which we made use of .We did feel this year that the house would benefit from some redecoration but overall would definitely recommend this property .

Christmas in Portinscale

Our second time at Appletree. It has had an update since we were last there, lovely new kitchen. It's warm, cosy ,well furnished, comfy beds & hot showers. Well placed for a short walk into Keswick. The Farmers Arms just a short stroll is a lovely family pub.There is also The Derwent Hotel & pub a short stroll away. Our only negative is the oven & hob are quite complicated even with the instructions ,we did manage eventually to cook a full Christmas dinner. Will definitely be back.

Excellent location, easily accessible to Keswick by foot or bus, but quiet. Space for 3 small cars on the drive was useful. It was very well presented and equipped, and had comfortable beds, (an important thing for our family!), only negative was the cost, as it felt a little expensive in comparison to similar sized properties in Northern Lakes, but understand it is the height of the season.

Nice House well kept but poor location-need to say its up a slope..

The house was beautiful and clean. Any queries were dealt with promptly. The welcome pack was really thoughtful. The location is remote and the house is on an estate. Also it needs to be stated that there is a steep slope upto the property.

Appletree Haven

We've been coming to Appletree Cottage for many years as it suits our needs perfectly. For a start it's in a fantastic location for access to Keswick and the surrounding countryside. There are soo many walks straight out of the door that you could manage for a week without a car! It's always clean and tidy and well presented. The views overlooking Skiddaw from the front window and Cat Bells/Barrow Hill from the rear are stunning. Easy off road parking for 3 cars and a small enclosed garden for the dog make it ideal for us. Looking forward to coming back next year.

A LOVELY HOUSE

This was the first time we stayed in this accommodation. We have for the last 10 years stayed in a complex in Keswick centre but have found it to be getting very noisy. This was a great property to stay in, very comfortable and lovely and quiet. Dogs are allowed and there is a perfect small garden to let them out. The only very slight problem was not enough bowls and measuring jugs for cooking as we eat in every night and our stay was for 10 days. Apart from the above, it is a great place to stay and have booked again for next year.

A lovely stay at Appletree

I would be very happy to recommend Appletree. Conveniently located on a quiet estate it was well equipped with everything you would need. The secure wrap around garden was a perfect space for both our dog & toddler to explore safely. A maintenance issue we had with a leak was responded to promptly with good on-going communication from Keswick Cottages. There are so many walks straight from the house, we pretty much parked up and didn’t use the cars for the full week (& we managed to comfortably park 4 cars out front). Great views, comfortable beds - we will be back.

Return to Appletree.

This was our third visit for a family of seven. we have always found that Appletree offers the utmost comfort and excellent facilities (the two children love the garden space!). We find Portinscale is sufficiently off the beaten track that peace and quiet is there if required and walks are readily accessible. Our only observation was that the en-suite shower was not functioning properly (thermostat?) however, George, the handyman, who had come to cut the grass, was making adjustments. A most enjoyable week.
