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.

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 .

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!

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.

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

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

Lovely property

The Ridgeway met all my expectations in terms of facilities and items provided. I’ve never had a property with a cocktail shaker and cocktail glasses before! When I raised a small issue with Keswick Cottages it was dealt with very promptly. All the staff I spoke to were pleasant and courteous. Being close to both the town centre and the bus station was ideal. Only the steep hill to the property presented a challenge! My daughter and son-in-law are keen cyclists, and the rear access and the utility room meant the property met their requirements for access and safe storage. Overall, a lovely property!

Ridgeway, Keswick

We were very happy with the accommodation. It's location from the centre of Keswick was perfect for my dad, who is 93, and can't walk too far. At the top end of the road and only a few mins walk, there is access to Fitz park over the Greta river which is very pretty. The accommodation is quirky in its layout but comfortable, with great views of the hills from the living/dining room and very quiet at night. The kitchen is fabulous and very well stocked with all the utensils etc. you need. I definitely recommend this property.

Perfect Property for our needs

The Ridgeway is a great base for exploring Keswick and the Northern Lake District. The property is very comfortable, well equipped (particularly the kitchen) and the lounge/diner gives lovely views over the town and the local fells, with a nice real fire to keep off the chill on a winter's evening - the rest of the house stayed comfortably warm with the preset Central Heating. Beds very comfortable, plenty of warm water and nice showers (even the smaller downstairs one, although this room was a little cramped and needed the handy fan heater). It was immaculately clean with lots of thoughtful touches like the motion sensor lights on the steps and entrances to the property, boot & coat room in the entranceway, a good supply of books, games and jigsaws etc and easy-to-use appliances and wi-fi. Location, just off the town centre and 5 mins from Booth's supermarket, was perfect and the allocated parking space made it hassle-free both when staying in Keswick or driving to other areas and returning to our own dedicated spot. We would highly recommend this property if it's kept at a reasonable price (we stayed in November and booked just a couple of weeks before so obtained a reduced rate for our four night stay). It may benefit other guests to be reminded that there quite a few steps/stairs up to and inside the property if any of their party has mobility issues or are infirm (although our oldest party member is over 80 and she had no problems with this), but for the majority of guests who would be likely to book this type of property it should be near the top of their short list! We hope to return in 2026.

Great spot for getting to know Keswick

We had a lovely short break at The Ridgeway, helped by some beautiful weather. We found it an ideally positioned base for our stay, with shops, pubs, lake, buses all within an easy few minutes stroll, and more serious walks possible straight from the front door. We didn't use our car once during our 4 day stay! The property was great too. Very well equipped and comfortable once we got used to the interesting room layout and the slightly unexpected stairs, and a fabulous view from the sitting room bay window. If we had to find something to improve it would be the mattress on the main bed, but it wasn't a problem. Keswick Cottages were very straightforward to deal with, and in our limited contacts with them we found them helpful and friendly. We would happily book again, and indeed hope to do so soon!

Kewisk - Smart house with everything you need, steps away from the Centre and Fitz Park

We were a family of 4 adults plus a well behaved dog. The house suited us perfectly. It is clean, smart, pleasant, comfortable beds and sofas. Enjoyed cooking in the modern kitchen. Upstairs bath/shower room is super with a 2nd bathroom downstairs. The boot/bike/dog drying/washing machine room is a great addition and helps keep everything clean and tidy. Scenic views from the lounge window. It is a minute's walk away from the centre, with all the shops, restaurants etc, yet tucked away on a quiet cul de sac with the added bonus of a reserved parking spot. A walk in opposite direction for 2 minutes, across the river foortbridge and we were in the lovely large Fitz Park, which is a brilliant park, great for walking a dog or going to the children's play area. On our next trip to Keswick we will certainly be seeking this house out again.

Large apartment in a great location with lovely views

The property is a little quirky, with the kitchen, utility room and master king room downstairs and living room with great views plus another bedroom and main bathroom upstairs. Having a utility room is great and we hired a baby gate to replicate sleeping arrangements for our dog at home. There is also a really useful entrance hall from the front, which is ideal for removing boots before going into the property. The bed and furniture is comfortable in our opinion. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything worked well. As always with Keswick Cottages the property was very clean and well presented. There is a parking space which we used. This being Keswick, once in the space we hardly moved the car. The space is tight and we wouldn’t have wanted to be moving every day. We have quite a big car and a smaller car would be easier. The apartment above was a little noisy the last couple of days of our stay, which did unsettle our dog. We were pleased it was empty for the first part of the week. All in all great to be so central with parking. There’s even a gap through to the Rawnsley Car Park where there’s some green space to ‘water’ the dog before bedtime, etc, so very handy.
