“Riverside Park 5 is a very comfortable flat for four adults with two double beds, one being on suite.”

It is very well equipped with modern appliances. The open plan kitchen/living space is very spacious with plenty of room, and different places to sit. There is a balcony and a floor to ceiling window looking out over Fitz Park. It is situated within a five minuet walk to Keswick town centre, with plenty of pubs, shops and places to eat on your doorstep.

It is very well equipped with modern appliances. The open plan kitchen/living space is very spacious with plenty of room, and different places to sit. There is a balcony and a floor to ceiling window looking out over Fitz Park.

The only criticism would be the concrete external stairway to access the building, was very poorly lit in the dark. Each flat has an external light, but the individual occupants can turn them off.

Jill November 2023

“The most perfect week!”

This was the cleanest & nicest holiday let we have stayed in. The place was spotless, warm, so well equipped with everything & the location perfect . The housekeeper & owner obviously really care. To find a housekeeper that cleans to this standard is rare, so a huge shout her to her. We can't wait to return!

Barry November 2023

“Excellent comfortable property with all the mod cons, nicely situated for access to local walks and town.”

A real bolt hole for a reset from a busy schedule.

Clare November 2023

“Another lovely holiday in No 5, so clean and comfortable, much enhanced by the new interior, so much cosier and a tasty welcome pack!”

The only improvement would be a power shower in the en suite.

- Clare, November 2023
Anne November 2023

“Comfortable property in a great location for easy access to the town and lakeside walks.”

Very clean and well equipped, we would happily return. Recommended!

David September 2023

“Stayed before as good as ever, great location, high quality accommodation, everything you need to make it feel like home from home.”

Few minutes walk into the town where there are plenty of good quality restaurants and pubs. Plenty of walks from the door, from easy to hard.

- David, September 2023
Philip July 2023

“Fabulous property to a very high standard and in the best location.”

I didn’t use my car all week. (Cracked worktop and cracked fridge door shelf)

Angela June 2023

“A lovely property.”

One problem, for us, the large sofa is very low which is so uncomfortable for bad backs and poorly hips. I could not sit on it and adopted one of the chairs in the window with the addition of a pillow behind me, not ideal but bearable. Unfortunately because of this we will not be returning but it would be nice if details like this were considered when purchasing seating, we are not all fit young things despite loving walking in the Lakes. That aside, a lovely airy apartment, easy to keep cool in the recent very hot weather.

Gill May 2023

“Once again enjoyed our stay - a very good apartment with good facilities - disappointed that the leaking radiator in bathroom was still leaking when we left - should be able to sort it out in a week.”

Perhaps think about a CD player in the apartment would have liked to be able to play some music. Other downside is the outside of the apartments flaking plaster on the walls not a good look. Not to lessen our enjoyment in the appt would certainly use again

Derek March 2023

“Washing machine broken for the entire week.”

I was told a new machine was on order. Never arrived. Had to wash clothes by hand which is not acceptable. Work bench is still damaged. No instructions for heating system.

Thank you for your feedback, we will certainly look into the issues you have had. Property Owner

“Loved the apartment, light, great views near the centre of town and very well equipped and designed with top of the range kit definitely a stay to be repeated.”

- Fiona, January 2023
Susan December 2022

“Lovely flat, clean, comfortable, well equipped and the mezzanine was very cozy when it was very cold outside.”

One of the best self-catering places we have stayed. One minor point is that when it gets very cold the outside stairs are exposed and slippy.

- Susan, December 2022
Clare October 2022

“Lovely clean, comfortable flat with great views of the river and mountains.”

Very well equipped, but it would benefit from bedside drawers instead of small tables as there is very little drawer space in the en suite bedroom.

- Clare, October 2022
Richard October 2022

“Excellent in every way!”

Superb accommodation, brilliant views, warm and comfortable. Really good weather, thank you!

Gillian July 2022

“We have stayed in Riverside Apartments for the past six or seven years in apartment 3 and 4.”

This apartment number 5 is undoubtedly the best of them all. Well furnished, well equipped, absolutely stunning. The vaulted ceiling with skylights and the mirror wall gave the whole apartment a feeling of light and spaciousness. The mezzanine small lounge with comfortable reading chairs enabled us to make different choices and gave us all extra space.

- Gillian, July 2022
Annette July 2022

“Excellent holiday flat.”

Clean and well equipped. Brilliant location close to town centre. Also overlooking the river so great for sitting on the balcony morning and evening. Overall a wonderful place to spend a holiday.

Stewart July 2022

“The pint of milk left in the fridge, the plum cake and Victoria sponge cake left ...”

The pint of milk left in the fridge, the plum cake and Victoria sponge cake left on the bench we thought was a lovely touch

- Stewart, July 2022
Colin June 2022

“We have stayed in Flat 5 for nearly 10 years.”

The welcome pack was a nice new touch and the upholstery and carpet upgrades welcome. We are curious as to why Sky tv could not be available , I have tried my own Sky tv card but it appears not to work. Otherwise lovely apartment and excellent location as usual.

“We loved the apartment and will definitely visit again.”

It’s exactly as described and so central.

Derek November 2021

“Despite me reporting a window problem the first day, this was never resolved, despite several updates saying it was going to be.”

In addition, there are several small problems, which we have seen on previous visits; Main window blind is broken, so cannot be tilted. Main bathroom toilet flush has a problem with overflow. TV setup is not adequate. Only a few channels available, virtually unwatchable. Despite this, it’s a wonderful apartment, but needs tlc to keep it to its high standard.

- Derek, November 2021
Yvonne November 2021

“Beautiful apartment super quiet location with lovely views.”

Well equipped with high quality appliances furnishings etc. Shops bars and restaurants all in easy walking distance

- Yvonne, November 2021
Clare October 2021

“FIRST LET ME SAY THAT WE'VE BEEN STAYING IN THIS PROPERTY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW AND HAVE BOOKED AGAIN FOR 2022, SO OVERALL WE'RE VERY HAPPY WITH IT.”

THERE ARE, HOWEVER, A NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT COULD BE IMPROVED OR UPDATED IN ORFER TO JUSTIFY IT'S 5* RATING, THE FIRST BEING THE INSTALLATION OF A POWER SHOWER IN THE EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM PARTICULARLY (THE PRESENT SHOWER IS PRETTY FEEBLE). SECONDLY A BIT MORE STORAGE WOULD BE NICE IN THE RIVERSIDE BEDROOM, THE BEDSIDE TABLES COULD BE CHANGED TO PROVIDE SOME EXTRA DRAWERS. FINALLY THE BLIND IN THE LOUNGE NEEDS REPLACING AS THE CONTROL ROD IS BROKEN. HOPE THIS HELPS.

The property

A delightful third floor luxury loft style apartment with beautiful views, close to the centre of Keswick and ideal for a holiday in any season.

It is located on the top floor of this beautifully renovated building and is one of only six individual apartments at this location.

Whatever reason for your visit, be it touring, walking, or simply relaxing you will find Riverside Park makes a great place to stay. Keswick is a year round destination with live theatre, places to eat, lake cruises, good shopping and a lively market.

Accommodation: Front door entrance from outside steps and balcony leads into the hallway where you can hang your outdoor gear.

The sitting/dining room is open plan with the kitchen and has a stylish modern interior with Italian fitted kitchen, floor to ceiling windows overlooking the river and door onto small river-view balcony.

Theatre and lake shore five minutes walk. The owner of the Riverside Park Apartments has also recently converted a selection of six luxury apartments near Hope Park in Keswick.
