“We have just returned from a wonderful stay at 1 fieldside grange.”

We loved it so much that we have rebooked it for next year while we were there. Beautiful views, easy access to the Lakeside fells, well equipped with high quality cooking utensils cutlery etc. We didn't need the thick duvet because of the heatwave and brought our own fan with us. Will be good if a fan was provided for the summer months and some tea, coffee and milk for the 1st night. I loved the premium quality bed linen.

We loved it so much that we have rebooked it for next year while we were there.

Will be good if a fan was provided for the summer months and some tea, coffee and milk for the 1st night. I loved the premium quality bed linen. Such a homely place to stay..we totally relaxed at High Spy. We couldn't find a footpath from the property so if there is one that would be handy to know for next year!

“We stayed in a different apartment in Fieldside Grange at the end of March, which was lovely.”

However, our first choice of the excellent accommodation available at Fieldside Grange is always High Spy. While we were there we met some friends of the owners of High Spy who were staying in High Spy and we said to them that it was our favourite. They said they would pass on our compliments to the owners. We are now back and have discovered that what was our first choice has now got even better with a new fitted kitchen and new flooring throughout. This truly is our perfect place for a comfortable, relaxing holiday with a few mountain hikes thrown in for good measure.

- Robert, May 2026

We are really pleased that you like our apartment and appreciate the improvements that we have made and your feedback means a lot to us. We hope you return again soon. Des & Lynn Property Owner

“Great place, really enjoyed our stay.”

Could only be improved by providing cooking oil, foil, shower gel/shampoo.

Stephen April 2026

“Excellent accommodation.”

Only gripe is the very rough single track road to the property with no passing places.

- Stephen, April 2026
Helen December 2025

“We loved our stay here and will be back.”

Excellent location, extremely well equipped apartment- especially the kitchen and luxurious bedding and towels. Nice to see investment in staple key items, rather than wasting money on welcome packs etc. we had a great time. Thanks so much.

- Helen, December 2025

Hi Helen, firstly apologies for our late response. We are happy that you had a good stay at HighSpy and we agree with you regarding investing in staple items and to that end we have just invested in a new kitchen along with new flooring and do hope you come back again to see what we have done to HighSpy.

Michele August 2025

“We really liked staying at High Spy.”

Great location with excellent facilities. Lovely and quiet. Close enough to Keswick itself to undertake a good walk yet far enough away to enjoy the wonderful sights and sounds of a country location. Each morning we woke after having a great night’s sleep on an very comfy bed with wonderful 400 thread cotton linen. These simple luxuries matter and we appreciate that on a well needed holiday.

- Michele, August 2025
Joyce July 2025

“Brilliant - we’d live to book it again fir next year, but not sure if it will be available!”

Beautifully equipped and maintained, so handy fir centre of Keswick yet tranquil. Great to be able to park just outside ( for loading/unloading but also in one heavy downpour.) Please do let us know if it will be available again - dates greyed out at the present fir several entire months.

- Joyce, July 2025

Hi Joyce we are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Highspy. The apartment is available to book for next year, it was an error on my part that it was greyed out. We look forward to welcoming you again next year Des & Lynn Property Owner

Ample parking with great sitting out area that gets the sun most of the day with great views..Road leading to accommodation has been greatly improved too and a lovely 20 minute walk into Keswick makes this the ideal location and within easy reach of all the attractions of the Northern Lakes ..we would highly recommend this fab place!!

Eric May 2025

“Very well appointed accommodation and a very comfortable stay.”

The apartment was clean and tidy and a pleasure to return to after a good day of walking.We were informed on arrival by the owner of a ongoing issue with water supply in the area and were able to take some action to ensure we had enough water saved but in the end we were not affected by the issue. Looking to rebook again

Hi Eric, We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and it is great that you are looking to re book Property Owner

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and High Spy is an excellent base for walking.”

Good location. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We would like to see opportunities for recycling and composting on site the for the apartments.

Stephen April 2025

“Our 2nd stay and will probably stay again.”

Great location on the edge of Keswick but not too far to walk to town centre Very comfortable bed. The access road is very rough - ok with a 4x4 but could be tricky with a normal car.

- Stephen, April 2025

The unmade access road is owned by a neighbouring property that is under renovation so the road should be made good as part of the renovation. Property Owner
Jane April 2025

“We have had a fantastic week, in total luxury.”

The bed was super comfortable and the bed linen very luxurious. The shower was powerful and definitely what was needed each night after a long walk! The kitchen was kitted out with everything we needed and we cooked each evening with ease. A really super place to stay. Our only gripe was that we had to put all the utensils in the dishwasher when we arrived as some very not clean.

- Jane, April 2025
Linda April 2025

“We've just come back from a lovely stay at High Spy.”

The apartment is furnished to a very high standard with everything you need. I enjoyed having my morning coffee on the bench outside overlooking the wonderful view. I would definitely book again.

Kitchen is fully equipped , bedroom was comfortable with high quality linen. Ideal setting to walk into and around Keswick. Very quiet and peaceful. Rebooked again as soon as we arrived

Jennifer October 2024

“We had a brilliant time at 1 Fieldside Grange The apartment was lovely, bright and sunny with a view towards Catbells and a short uphill walk to Castlerigg Stone circles.”

Very peaceful and quiet, warm and comfortable. We mostly left the car and made use of the buses, there is a choice of 3 routes the X4,X5 and 555 at the bus stop 10 minutes walk away. You will need to take a torch. The bed and bedding were luxurious and this kitchen was extremely well equipped. Would definitely recommend.

- Jennifer, October 2024

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at High Spy and thank you for the useful info regarding the local bus stop. Property Owner
Patricia September 2024

“We had a great week at High Spy.”

The apartment is furnished and equipped to a high standard and the views of the fells and Bassenthwaite are breathtaking. We were extremely lucky to have 6 out of 7 sunny days and on the one rainy day, what else do you do but visit the pencil museum in Keswick! On a negative note, as others have mentioned, the road up to the apartment is mostly a winding track with virtually no passing places. We were very thankful each time we managed to negotiate it safely! There are a couple of places where stones have been placed to stop anyone driving onto the grass. These really could, and should, be made into dedicated passing places for everyone’s peace of mind and safety. When we had a problem one morning with the drains, we called Sykes and, by the time we came back from our day out, someone from their maintenance team had called round and the problem had been fixed. Great service! We walked several times into Keswick via the old railway track (about 40 minutes) and once, in the opposite direction, to Threlkeld. Castlerigg stone circle is just a short walk up the road and of course there are lots of higher level walks with stunning views in the vicinity. We didn't eat out, as a Tesco delivery and Booths in Keswick supplied us with all we needed for a week’s self catering. Aside the access situation, I would recommend High Spy as a great base for a week exploring a beautiful area.

- Patricia, September 2024
Sandy September 2024

“High Spy is a really lovely, well equipped and comfortable apartment which has been furnished to a high standard.”

The bedding is beautiful and we slept very well. The views are fantastic and we enjoyed sitting out in the garden enjoying the view in the sunshine. The jets flying over was an added bonus. We did have a problem with the dryer not drying but the engineer arrived the same day to check it out which was very prompt. The one thing that is surprising is that the state of the lane up to High Spy isn’t mentioned in the description of the property. We have a 4x4 SUV so could negotiate the unmade rough track and the pot holes ok but we witnessed standard vehicles struggling. We feel there should be a warning as vehicles could easily be damaged. The track is also very narrow with little opportunity to pass and we were very relieved we didn’t come across a vehicle coming in the opposite direction as reversing would have been a nightmare! Having said that, we would book again.

“Great flat for our holiday, clean, well equipped & good central heating for the colder days.”

A quiet location with wonderful views over the fells.

John August 2024

“We have stayed in High Spy, formerly The Beeches, several times since 2010 and love the place, we were also considering purchasing it as it is currently on the market.”

This visit was, mostly, as pleasant as before with only one exception, the tumble drier was dead and in a very wet August week that was not good as we could not dry outer clothes for the next day. When we rechecked the website listing we noted that the facility had, at some point, been switched to washer only, but the original washer/drier was still in place. That said we would return to High Spy again but only with that issue resolved. John and Diane

- John, August 2024
Sue June 2024

“Very well equipped and comfortable apartment for 2 people.”

It is a little further from Keswick centre than we expected - about 40 mins walk.

- Sue, June 2024
Wendy June 2024

“Great one bedroom apartment in a lovely location.”

Fantastic views from the patio and very well equipped. Would definitely recommend. Just take care on the first part of the access driveway as a little uneven.

- Wendy, June 2024

Thank you Wendy we are so glad you like our apartment and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Des & Lynn Property Owner
Alexandra April 2024

“A fabulous, comfortable apartment in a beautiful location with fantastic views and easy access (walking/car/bus) to the rest of the Lakes.”

Everything you could need was provided in the apartment. After reading some previous reviews about the driveway, this did not cause us any problems. Feel very relaxed after our weeks stay. Thank you.

- Alexandra, April 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback it means a lot to us that you had a good relaxing time. The driveway is not owned by Field side Grange but we do our best to keep it in good repair. We look forward to you returning to High Spy in the future Des & Lynn Property Owner
Paul December 2023

“Great location and pleasantly appointed.”

A fire is a 'must have' feature for our Christmas hideaway - for this to be disabled was disappointing. The temperature and amount of hot water available is pretty poor. Thin summer duvet not appropriate in winter. The kitchen set-up is excellent. Sound of people walking around in the apartment above is a bit obtrusive at times. The track leading up to the property is deeply rutted - low riding vehicles will scape the ground.

- Paul, December 2023
Michael November 2023

“The information regarding the appliances was not left in an obvious place, with no information about the use of the heating system.”

David October 2023

“A lovely appartment.”

It is clean, comfortable and well-equipped. It is in a quiet location yet within easy walking distance of the centre of Keswick along the conveniently situated cycling/walking path of the former railway track.

- David, October 2023
Philip October 2023

“We prefer accommodation where we can book direct with the owner but on this occassion Sykes proved a very good option.”

We knew where High Spy apartment was because many years ago we'd stayed in the same building, the difference 25yrs later is quite astonishing. High Spy was a very well presented apartment and one of the best equiped, cleanest and most comfortable we have stayed in for the price. The views from outside are just fantastic. The only down side we could think of was the all uphill trek from the centre of Keswick and the long unsurfaced lane up to the property, but that's the price you pay for the excellent views. During our stay we had an issue with the drains, this was quickly resolved once we contacted the agent. All in all a great apartment, plenty of parking space, comfortable and well equipped and great views.

- Philip, October 2023
Lin September 2023

“This property is superb.”

Beautifully decorated and thought out. The kitchen is to die for, the space in the lounge with the cornered suite allowing for a dining area to be separate, is brilliant. The utility room is icing on the top. The views ( we have stayed in this building a few times before) are some of the best in the Lakes. There is only one downside, and it is not the property. It is away from Town, and we are fine with that. However, we have a standard saloon car and the drive up is challenging to say the least, without causing damage to your car. The tracks need filing in to make it safe. Whilst this is the most amazing place, We cannot risk damage to the car, so will not be able to return until we change to a 4x4 or crossover, for clearance needed. High Spy is 5 stars without hesitation. The driveway could be in a rally test.

- Lin, September 2023
John September 2023

“This was our second visit to High Spy and we have already booked a stay for next year.”

The accommodation is excellent only one issue and that is the condition of the access drive. It hasn’t put us off but at one car width with numerous pot holes improvement would remove the one negative aspect of the property

- John, September 2023
Christine August 2023

“Idyllic setting, fully equipped apartment comfortable with a homely feel.”

Only negative was the access road which we were aware of before the visit but worth it for the views.

- Christine, August 2023
Carla July 2023

“Super apartment with plenty of outside space and parking.”

Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Nice modern decor. Great location, just off the K2T track.

Thank you Carla, we are so glad you liked High Spy as we like to feel that it is a home from home. Des & Lynn Property Owner
David June 2023

“Property great, everything lovely, had a fantastic time, weather brilliant.”

Just one problem with the state of the access road, lots of pot holes and bumps, which challenged the comfort and resilience of our vehicle. Luckily our SUV managed safely with care.

- David, June 2023
Carla June 2023

“Amazing place, loved everything about it!”

So glad we also booked for a week in July!

- Carla, June 2023
John May 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at High Spy to the extent that we immediately booked a further week in September.”

A slight issue with heating was solved quickly with immediate response from the owner. The apartment is exactly as shown in the listing and is comfortable and bright. We were lucky with the weather and sat outside in the late afternoon enjoying a coffee in the warm sunshine. Can't wait to go back.

- John, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We were glad to be able to resolve the issue with the heating. We look forward to welcoming you again. The Lakes Cottage Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner

Accommodation was very nice. Warm, clean and cosy. Access to plenty of good walks directly from the accommodation.

- Andrew, March 2023
Jane December 2022

“A beautiful property in a fantastic location.”

I would add that the condition of the long drive needs to be looked at, or at least mentioned in your information. No wonder every other guest had a 4x4 !!

Raymond October 2022

“We enjoyed our weeks stay,every thing we needed was provided,we found a lot of condensation in the mornings and the bedroom smelt a bit musty in the morning.”

This might be due to the time of year ? The trail or track leading to the property is in need of some serious repair, this is causing a lot of wear and tear on vehicles using it.

- Raymond, October 2022

Thank your for your feedback. We have only recently replaced the windows in the apartment so I will be looking into the cause of the condensation. I will be discussing the driveway with the other owners at Fieldside Grange at our next AGM early in the new year. Thank you again for the useful feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Des & Lynn Property Owner
Robert October 2022

“We were delighted to see that the comments that we made in our feedback only a few months ago had been acted on and the apartment is, for our needs, almost perfect.”

The only issue we now have is with the access driveway. We realise that this, presumably, is a shared right of way and it must be difficult to get all parties to agree and contribute towards its maintenance, but it has deteriorated significantly since our last visit in June to the point where we were concerned that we may damage our car. Having said that, we look forward to retuning to High Spy in the near future. It is one of the best apartments we stay in when visiting the area.

- Robert, October 2022
John September 2022

“We have stayed in many cottages , apartments etc but High Spy is by far the best.”

Our thanks for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful apartment.

Victoria July 2022

“I loved staying at High Spy; it was a gorgeous apartment and the grounds were beautiful.”

When out on the hills all day ,it was wonderful to come back to such a tastefully decorated apartment and relax in comfort.It is particularly important for me to be able to have a bath as opposed to a shower and so I really appreciated this aspect of the accommodation. I will definitely return next year.

- Victoria, July 2022

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are really pleased that you found it comfortable and relaxing. Great to hear that you want to return next year. Des & Lynn Property Owner
Katherine July 2022

“Great property overall, good location, immaculately clean, beautifully presented.”

Great views, good to have parking. Good to have the separate boot/coat room too. Only one thing that would make it even better - darker curtains or blackout blind in the bedroom as it is very light in there. We had a great stay, and even got good weather so we could sit outside and eat breakfast some days which was lovely.

- Katherine, July 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave some really good feedback and we are pleased that you had a good stay. Des & Lynn Property Owner
Rachel June 2022

“We loved our stay at High Spy.”

We have been to Fieldside Grange now four times - the last three staying at Garden Cottage. It is a beautiful setting and very quiet with lovely views. The apartment was very comfortable with everything we needed. We will definitely be returning. We can certainly recommend these apartments

- Rachel, June 2022

Thank you for choosing to stay at High Spy. The beautiful setting and lovely views is what first attracted us to Fieldside Grange. We are pleased you had a good stay and wish to return again. Des & Lynn Property Owner
Robert June 2022

“Everything was fine other than two very minor points.”

The dinner plates are too large to fit in the dishwasher, meaning if you put them in they prevent the rotating washer jet turning. And, compared to other holiday cottages that we have stayed in, the TV is a little on the small size. Other than this we were very impressed with the improvements that have been made since our last and many stay's at High Spy (previously known as The Beeches). We certainly would be happy to return again.

- Robert, June 2022

Thank you for you response after your stay at High Spy. We are glad that you appreciated the improvements we have made and we would love to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

James October 2021

“Disappointing to find fitted bed sheet was very thin / worn and as a result had 3 holes in Difficult to understand how the housekeeper could have missed this when preparing the accommodation as the holes were immediately noticed by us on pulling back the duvet on first night.”

However, Sykes were very responsive the next morning and dealt with the issue very efficiently, providing a fresh fitted sheet without delay. No other adverse issues cropped up during our stay. The accommodation was very well appointed , warm, comfortable and we greatly appreciated the bath after a days walking in the rain. Bed was extremely comfortable. TV would probably benefit from being updated to a Smart TV or advise in the property details so that customers know to bring a smart TV device if wanted (to watch on demand / Netflix etc).

- James, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback and I am glad that everything was resolved swiftly for you. I can confirm that we have replenished all of the linens throughout. We look forward to welcoming you back to stay at The Beeches when you are next visiting the Lakes. Property Owner

Carol October 2020

“The freedom we enjoyed by having an apartment instead of a hotel was great.”

The location of the apartment was amazing. If the weather had been better (nothing you can do about this) then we would have loved to have sat outside and admired the view with a gin and tonic in hand. Would not hesitate to go back to this apartment whatever the season. Many thanks for a wonderful break - we feel very thankful to have managed this holiday before another Lockdown!!

Margaret September 2020

“We arrived a few minutes before 3pm sat in the car to check in on time but as we were about to go into the property the cleaners turned up they had it as a 4pm check in.”

They were only in the property about 25 minutes which to my mind in the current climate hardly seems adequate . The lower part of the driveway is in appalling condition it’s like a farm track very rutted and rough. The chopping board could do with replacing and a bath mat in the bath would be a good addition to prevent slipping when showering.

- Margaret, September 2020
Rachel August 2020

“Great location and property.”

We stayed for a week and the apartment had everything we needed and more which was a bonus. Lovely property, would definitely recommend it.

Andy December 2019

“The listing might include more information about access, I imagine the muddy single track could be an issue when it is busy.”

There are no passing places on it so meeting oncoming traffic is difficult. Distance to Keswick is more like 1.5 miles. Other than that, great.

- Andy, December 2019
Helen October 2019

“We found the property very cold on arrival as the boiler had gone off.”

We sorted the problem but the boiler then went off twice more during the week. Property warm when boiler is on. it seems that the shower does not have an individual thermostat to protect against water being turned on elsewhere in Fieldside Grange. Be prepared for temp fluctuations! Linen was clean, but it seemed that the bottom sheet, mattress cover and one bath sheet had not been fully dried before being stored, resulting in unpleasant ‘fewsty’ smell. Positives: a tasteful apartment. Only a short drive to Keswick and therefore very good location. This apartment is the only one with parking right at the door, so is convenient for anyone with mobility issues.

- Helen, October 2019
Hilary October 2019

“The Beeches was well equipped but some more crockery and cutlery would have helped us to be able to use the dishwasher more frequently.”

The lovely big clock on the wall did not work, think it needed a new battery.The outside light did not work. We were warm and comfortable on our third visit to the Beeches. Thank you. A special thank you to Emma from your office who took the trouble to come up to the Beeches after work to help us to be able to use the wifi.
