The Ridgeway - an apartment that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

The Ridgeway is a beautiful Victorian property, with many personal touches to create a 'home from home' feel and ideal for those wishing to be close to all local amenities but just out of the way of traffic and crowds.

The fully enclosed south facing patio has wonderful views to the fells for perfect al fresco dining. Private parking is allocated opposite for one car.

The large, bright lounge with high ceilings on the first floor has a fabulous bay window looking out over Keswick to Catbells and the fells beyond. There are two large sofas and an open fire for cosy winter nights, with dining table in the picture postcard bay window. There is a Smart TV, DVD and games console with blue-tooth DAB Radio / CD player and plenty of Lakeland guides.

The twin bedroom with new oak furniture (chest of drawers and wardrobe) and DAB radio is also on the first floor with lovely views towards Latrigg. This room can be converted to a King-size bed upon request.

The first floor bathroom is fully tiled and has a double ended bath, separate shower cubicle, towel rail and wash hand basin. There is a separate WC on this floor.

On the ground floor there is a bright double bedroom with a leather sofa positioned in the bay window overlooking the patio/garden. There is a double bed, with plenty of storage, a flat screen TV/DVD, dressing table and lovely high ceilings. Both bedrooms are dressed with luxury linens and fresh white fluffy towels.

The very modern kitchen is also on the ground floor with newly fitted units, granite worktops, built in electric oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washer/dryer and breakfast bar, with well stocked cupboards with everything you would need on a self-catering holiday.

There is a sizeable utility room at the back of the apartment for walking gear and bikes, providing rear access to the street.

The downstairs shower room has a shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Comfortable accommodation

The Accommodation we booked through Keswick Cottages, is a lovely place to rest and recuperate after a days walking. The beds are very comfortable and afforded a great nights sleep. The apartment is centrally located in Keswick and good for all the amenities the town has to offer. We enjoy staying here having stayed here on two previous occasions.

The Ridgeway review

This was the fifth time we have stayed at The Ridgeway. Lovely property in brilliant location. Excellent customer service all round and our two Border Terriers loved the doggie welcome packs!

A living room with a view

The house is very comfortable and spacious. It is well-equipped and the dog welcome pack was a lovely touch. The view from the living room was stunning as we could see the hills as we were eating breakfast. It was really good to have 2 toilets, although the downstairs one was a bit chilly as it didn't have a radiator, but there was a fan heater. Otherwise we had a lovely break in a great location.

Great spot

The Ridgeway is in a great location, lots of walks from the door and perfect for town. The accommodation was very well equipped on particular the kitchen. There is everything you need for preparing and cooking meals. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable, the best we have come across in a long time. It was also nice to have a bathroom on each floor. It was lovely to have somewhere to sit out, as the weather was so nice.

A great base

Three of us plus a dog stayed there . The Ridgeway was very clean & comfortable. The kitchen was really well equipped. It is an excellent base for staying in the Lakes & has its own dedicated car space which is a bonus in Keswick . Wonderful views over to the hills from the dining room . Would definitely stay there again easy access to the town & shops . We were also lucky to have brilliant weather .

Handsome building in excellent condition. Good location for town centre, shops and restaurants and bus station. Reasonable distance from parks and theatre. Kitchen modern with good facilities, nice bathrooms and bedrooms, good to have option of 2 double beds.

Great location

Great location with a parking space. Beds very comfortable. Upstairs bathroom very good. Some crockery in kitchen disappointing otherwise well equipped. Downstairs shower room floor was soaking wet on arrival, on third day used kitchen roll to dry it and it stayed dry then. Fabulous views from upstairs lounge, excellent book selection. Airing wardrobes and drawers may be beneficial.

Keswick weekend break

Great location, well equipped kitchen, & comfortable place to stay, & having our dog with us with Fitz park just around the corner was a bonus, & also the property had a back door entrance into a large utility room which was great for drying off & cleaning up the dog before entering the carpeted areas,private parking space for one vehicle right across from the property

Lovely place

Great place. Comfy, spacious, great location, clean and everything you need for a stay away. Only negative was that the property above it had very noisy floorboards, so we were woken up at 6am most mornings.

Just the ticket

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was comfortable and clean, with lovely views from the lounge window. Good to have lots of books and games provided. And we made use of the front patio on a few occasions. The parking space is a bonus. We thought it was in an excellent location in the town, a quiet no through round but the benefit of being staggering distance to all the pubs, restaurants and shops. We would definitely book again!

Excellent location

Great location, easy walk into town & nearby park. Great views from the lounge. We found the side access straight into the utility room particularly useful for bringing a very muddy dog indoors. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you.

Mid September 2025 Week Break

I stopped at the Ridgeway with my father for a week. The property is very centrally located with a dedicated parking space that is really useful for the general area (not a huge space if the others are in use and you have a big car, but I have a Focus and it was great). The Ridgeway is the entrance on the ground floor but the apartment has 2 levels and a lovely view from the dining table (see the site photo gallery). Kitchen was very well equipped and suitable for a wide variety of cooking. Beds and bedrooms very comfortable. Heating worked really well which was useful as we were there on a bad week for wind and rain! Lots of books and DVDs left by the owners in case of needing a quiet day in and also some good information on walks and stuff. Nice utility room for drying stuff out too. WiFi excellent too. Keswick Cottages were very responsive to a couple of queries I had. I'd definitely stay again as I didn't want to leave

Great traditional house with modern interior

Great 2 bed house with enclosed front yard, 100 yards from the main street. Central location and also close to park and river greta. Great for dog walks and property easy and quick to centrally heat when needed

A fantastic cottage in a great location.

Ridgeway was perfect! It is spacious, very well equipped and very clean. It’s in a prime location with a lovely outside area to enjoy the sunshine that we had! Highly recommended.

Hiking nirvana

From booking to check out everything was so easy. Communication was excellent and detailed. We spent a good bit of time hiking the nearby trails then enjoying a pint in one of the lovely pubs in town. An easy walk to a great market for those that wish to cook. It has great hiking snacks as well. Fell in love with the chicken chorizo scotch egg, it may be the perfect hiking snack. Be sure to stop by one of the many pubs for great beer and food. Keswick is very dog friendly and we loved sitting with a pint watching the dogs and chatting with owners. Be aware the property is multi level and the stairs may seem worse after the Skiddaw climb. We are planning our return visit.

Great location and lovely views

We enjoyed our 3 night stay as The Ridgeway is in an ideal location for walking into Keswick and also reaching 2 supermarkets. Apartment is comfortable, beds and linen very nice. Kitchen well stocked, just be aware all the knives need sharpening as they’re completely blunt! Views from the first floor living room lovely, also nice and bright The downstairs shower room works fine but the shower itself is very small so would be awkward to use for anyone larger than a size 12 woman Weather not good enough for us to sit out but there is a private patio area which will get the sun afternoon/evening A single parking space, bit tight for an average size car ( focus) but very convenient at the front of house

The perfect base for family or friends

Great quiet location just off the Main Street. Couldn’t ask for anything else for a base while visiting the town. Kitchen was extremely well stock with equipment and there’s plenty room. Ideal for a family or even two couples as two separate bathrooms. Would highly recommend and will certainly book again

Easter in Ridgeway

Had a great 4 night stay in Ridgeway with the pup; great location, ideal access into the town centre. Ideal facilities for those with a dog, the back door to the property gives access directly to a spacious boot room, perfect for bringing in wet dogs. Will definitely rebook this property.

Weekend Away

Had a really comfortable stay at The Ridgeway after deciding to book for the weekend on the spur of the moment. Great location near the centre of Keswick yet fairly quiet. Beautiful well equipped kitchen. Lovely bathroom with a lovely deep bath. Great views from the lounge over towards Catbells and the Newlands Valley. Booked a number of times with Keswick Cottages at various locations and never disappointed.

Fabulous House

This is the seventh time staying at the Ridgeway. It’s a perfect place to stay and all within walking distance to the town centre, lake and surrounding parks. Plus it has its own parking space. The house is perfect for us and our two little dogs as it has a secure front garden. The kitchen is fully equipped and well stocked. Beautiful views from the living room. Highly recommend this property.
