Peak View

The views from this property were the best ever.

Even on a rainy day you could look out of the window and see the mist rolling over the hills. It hail stoned during our visit and the top of Skiddaw was plain to see all covered in white. On the down side the water pressure is very poor you can only use one shower at a time and if using one of the showers you could not turn a tap on or the water went cold so getting ready with two teenage girls took a while. The doors all squeaked terribly loud - enough to wake you up. The on-suite was not cleaned when we arrived which was obviously an oversight as the rest of the apartment was clean.

Comfortable, spacious apartment with lovely views.

A few minor issues could be rectified * shower temperature. Either boiling or cold. not possible to have a warm shower * Lack of basics in the kitchen. No surface cleaning cloths. No salt and pepper. Used and dirty dish sponge * Blinds very clumsy. Difficult to pull up and down.

This is our 4th stay at Peak View, our favourite Keswick property.

On the whole, we had a great stay, as always in this great location, but a few things did spoil our experience, unfortunately. It was disappointing that the lift wasn't working and hasn't been for some time, yet we weren't warned about this. The en suite shower couldn't be used as it was faulty. Maintenance had to come, but said he was recommending that a new shower should be fitted. As there's a shower over the bath too, it wasn't as big a problem as it could have been. Previous reviews mention this problem, so why wasn't maintenence involved before we came?. There were also problems with the blinds, but after 2 days of interrupted views from the lounge, this was sorted. One suggestion I have is to provide a heater upstairs, as it can get very chilly up there at night. We came prepared, as we'd stayed here before! Also, be warned, there's no provision at all of tea, coffee for arrival and not even any salt or pepper. All in all, a great week here, as always! Well be back!

Comfortable apartment right in the center of town.

Fully equipped, fast Wi-Fi, comfortable furniture, and beautiful views from the window. The house has a lot of charme. Disadvantages: The shower is hardly usable — no water pressure, and the temperature is either very hot or ice cold. The distance from the parking lot and the many stairs could be an issue.

Unfortunately the apartment was not clean on arrival.

The toilet in the en-suite leaked around the base. The toilet in the bathroom didn’t flush properly and the shower didn’t work. We reported these issues and were told that maintenance would visit the next day, they did not. Not impressed by service provided.

Great central location with dedicated parking place.

Would stay here again, thank you.

This is our 4th stay and it is always amazing.

Very comfortable, fabulous views, close to everything. We park the car and don’t use it for the whole week, perfect

Overall we had a great time at the apartment.

We were slightly disappointed with the cleanliness of the space. In particular almost everything we used in the kitchen needed washing before use. Our kids stayed in the room with single beds and I questioned whether the sheets had been freshly changed over. However the views were amazing, there was plenty of space for us all and the location is also perfect.

Great flat.

Lots of space in the public areas, very comfortable, and the views were perfect. Referencing other reviews, there was a lot of noise from the tapas place until 12.30 am on the Friday, but to be honest, nothing keeps me from sleep, and it just made me hungry really. Can't begrudge a business trying to make money. The flat is well equipped. If we were looking for a fault, the shower in the bathroom, not the en-suite, is not great, actually it's awful. Dining room was a bonus, great space and a wee step up from completely casual, which we enjoyed.

Excellent property in central location Be aware that there are 41 steps on 3 different staircases to access the property and another 16 steps if you stay in the top 2 bedrooms This does however provide one of the best views of the rooftops of north Keswick and the Mountains surrounding.

READ the instructions regarding the car park space and save yourself hassle on arrival. The Tapas Bar is a little noisy at weekends but you are in the centre of town with at least 10 pubs within 3 minutes walk and countless bars and restaurants If noise is a problem then rent a cottage outside of town Having spent most of the week climbing the hills we appreciated the convenience of being central and we were too tired to to really notice An excellent property, a good week away Will use this property again next time in Keswick and the North Lakes

Thanks so much for a lovely stay.

We loved the comfy living room: when the weather was horrid, we could look at the lovely view from the windows. There was only one issue, which we knew about from other reviews, which was the noise from the local tapas bar. It did stop at midnight, so if you are pre-warned, it isn't a problem. Lovely and central, and perfect for a family get together.

Fantastic location can’t fault that however need new mattresses on all beds.

The springs on the two single beds especially protruding through so turned them over. Bathroom showers are useless and main bathroom needs updating. Mould all round the bath and shower screen. Skirting boards were filthy everywhere. It’s a good size apartment though could do with updating and maybe convert the kitchen and dinning room into one big kitchen to make it more sociable for guests.

Great location would stay again.

Super views. Lots of space. Extremely convenient to all the great things about Keswick... views, walks, pubs, bus, grocery, coffee. The actual views are so much better than the pictures. Appliances, carpet, furniture worn and needs to be replaced. Beds/mattresses are small and only marginally comfortable. Need changing. Fun quirkiness of an historic building... and also floorboards have areas with very loud creaks we felt bad for guests below. Doors oddly placed. 1/2 bath but no shower/tub upstairs. Also, the Tapas bar below rock and rolls until 12:30AM Thurs, Fri, Sat and it is like it is in your living room. The elevator does not go all the way up to this floor. If you can live with all that it is wonderful!

First time I’ve stayed in a holiday apartment and there has not been a welcome pack.

The location was noisier that expected as there was a Tapas bar right outside the living room window. If you want to be right in the centre of things then this would be an idea place for you. The cleaner or previous people had left a full vacuum cleaner in the cupboard which I would have expected to be emptied if the cleaner had done a proper job. The instructions to the car park need to be updated as there is no Thomason butchers, it if stated that it was behind Greggs then its easy to find.

Had a lovely weeks stay, right in the centre of Keswick.

Nice flat with superb views from the living room.

We loved staying at Peak View and will in all likelihood stay there again.

Comfortable, spacious, really good location and amazing views.

Large apartment with comfy beds and sofas, quality furnishings, a basic but adequate kitchen.

Two bathrooms and three toilets made it perfect for four adults, no queues or time schedules. Absolute BEST part ... the fantastic views! We were so mesmerised by the ever-changing light and cloud on the fells, it was hard to tear ourselves away. Being in the centre of picturesque Keswick made shopping and eating out easy and fun, and just a stroll to two fabulous parks and lake Derwentwater. Will book longer next time.

It was the second time we stayed, not the last time: perfect location and spacious place.

Apartment had everything we needed for adults, infant and dogs.

Visited Keswick on numerous occasions but mainly for short stay breaks in hotels. This was the first time that we have done self-catering. Loved the central location, one car parking space an additional benefit. Would definitely look to book again. Thanks, we all had a lovely holiday.
