“We have been coming to stay at Siskin for a few years now, and whilst we are delighted with it and plan to come again next year, there are a few minor details that we think need attention.”

The toilet cistern makes a very loud shuddering noise while it refills. It must be audible in other flats in the building. The glassware is insufficient. The lock on the car parking space seems to have seized up, so it can’t be actuated. It seems to me that a squirt of WD40 will probably cure it. There we are - we will be back.

“Entrance could do with a clean up especially as someone had vomited by the steps.”

A motion sensitive light would be helpful at the entrance. The apartment itself was spotless and very well located.

Brian September 2024

“Clean comfortable flat with great location.”

Parking space is essential.

David September 2024

“Central location with quick access to shops/bars etc.”

It was quiet overnight. Very happy with standard of property and cleanliness.

Julie August 2024

“We had a great stay at Siskin.”

The property was very central but it wasn’t noisy at all. There was n allocated parking space which is a real bonus in Keswick. The flat was very clean & well equipped. The shower was hot & powerful and the kitchen had everything required. Our only issues was that we all found the beds uncomfortable. The mattresses were of good quality they just didn’t meet our preferences. I’m sure other people would find them perfect. Despite this minor issue we would definitely return to this fantastic property.

Helen July 2024

“A great apartment so central to the town.”

Comfortable and quite spacious. And great to have a parking space.

- Helen, July 2024
Rebecca July 2024

“This was a lovely flat in the heart of a busy Keswick.”

The road noise and buzz from the shops below didn’t bother us as we enjoyed seeing the world pass by but may not suit everyone. The flat was clean and good amenities. There is an issue with the toilet flush and sounds like an air lock in the system as at the end of the flush when the toilet has refilled it makes a terrible chugging noise. The flat has a handy car park space which is a massive bonus. The space is a little tight in between 2 thin metal poles but we managed no problem with a VW Golf. We had a fabulous week!

- Rebecca, July 2024
Jane May 2024

“The flat is lovely, comfortable and equipped.”

Would of liked a fan in bedrooms as it was very warm and having the window open ment being disturbed by the noise on the street which ended around 12pm with the clash of bottles being emptied, and started again around 5.30am so not a good night's sleep was had. The location is great. And is very clean, beds are comfortable, and so are the sofa's.

- Jane, May 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the property to be clean and comfy. We do take your comments on board, however, the property listing does state Siskin is in the heart of Keswick with shops, pubs and restaurants 1 min walk. We hope that you would return to the Lake District again. Property Owner
Lesley April 2024

“Lovely stay at Siskin.”

The apartment was extremely clean which was great. So close to the centre yet quiet. It generally had everything you need for a stay although we would have appreciated a full size chopping board to prepare meals on, and a pizza cutter would have been handy as we ate in every night. All in all recommended!

Greg October 2023

“Siskin is the ideal place to stay for a holiday in Keswick.”

It is in the perfect location - minutes walk from the high street and Derwent Water and with parking too! Well appointed and very comfortable.

- Greg, October 2023
Helen July 2023

“A very spacious apartment which as light and airy.”

Loved being right in the centre of the town yet quiet too. Wonderful to have allocated parking space.

- Helen, July 2023
Dmitry June 2023

“A very nice property, well maintained and well presented.”

We enjoyed its central location, comfortable beds, designer kitchenware, and a quiet washing machine. There was some noise from the George hotel kitchen extractor pipes located just outside the property windows. There was also some minor disturbance caused by ongoing maintenance/building work next door, but obviously this is not the owner's fault.

- Dmitry, June 2023

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback following your stay we are delighted that you had an enjoyable stay, just to confirm the work installing a stove at the nearny property is now complete, we look forward to welcoming you again in the future - Lakes Cottage Holidays customer relations Property Owner

“Fantastic location right in the heart of the town, but very quiet.”

Easy to access everything Keswick has to offer.

- Stephen, May 2023
Janet April 2023

“Apartment was very cosy and warm when we arrived and was immaculately clean.”

We only stayed for a few nights so had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and fabulous location for ease of access to Keswick centre. The parking space was also a bonus.

- Janet, April 2023
Sarah March 2023

“Great property in a fab location, the car parking spot being especially welcome.”

Very clean property with all you need, second time we've stayed here and we really enjoyed ourselves again. Thank you.

- Sarah, March 2023
Rachael March 2023

“A very nice and comfortable flat in the middle of town with the added bonus of a private parking space.”

The only problem we encountered was the hot water. The boiler seems to be set to provide hot water in the morning only. Post-hike showers and baths in the evening were rather cold. This might not be a problem in summer. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

- Rachael, March 2023
Andrew March 2023

“This is a lovely apartment has all the facilities you will need, and is perfectly placed for the town centre & the beautiful countryside around Keswick.”

We have stayed at this apartment four times now and will be booking it again for are next visit to Keswick.

“The apartment is perfectly situated for the town centre, but slightly tucked away so it’s fairly quiet.”

Everything was good, so already hope to return next year.

- Ronald, November 2022
Keith July 2022

“The flat was great, clean etc no problems apart from the parking.”

With a few large vehicles (4 x4 cars etc) parking was very hard

- Keith, July 2022
Barry June 2022

“Shame about the entrance and the front door needs painting.”

But the apartment is lovely.Feels homely.

- Barry, June 2022
Stephen March 2022

“This property is more geared towards 2 adults 2 children & not 4 adults”

- Stephen, March 2022
Kate January 2022

“This flat can be rather noisy especially when people are moving around in the other flats and also when there are deliveries to, and bottle collections from, The George Hotel.”

The radiator in the main bedroom didn't seem to turn off which made it too hot early in a morning. But we've just booked to return again in March which will be our 3rd visit, so the positives outweigh the negatives!

- Kate, January 2022
Domini January 2022

“The property was amazing, well supplied with everything you would need for a comfortable stay.”

The sofas and king size bed were really comfy and the rooms were warm. Overall five star accomodation.

- Domini, January 2022
Val December 2021

“My husband and I visited Siskin in 2019 and had a lovely stay.”

We were delighted to return December 2021 and had a wonderful week. The flat is cosy, well appointed and perfectly positioned in central Keswick, with parking as a bonus. The sitting room, beds and bedding were very comfy and just what we needed after days out. We hope to return next year.

Val November 2019

“The flat was even nicer than the photos!”

It was very warm and cosy. spacious, well equipped and the décor was lovely as well as comfortable. We felt very at home. For us the parking space is a real bonus as is being right in the heart of Keswick. We would definitely return and recommend Siskin. The staff in the Lakes office were very helpful.

- Val, November 2019
Pat September 2019

“We had an amazing time I'm in Keswick”

- Pat, September 2019
David February 2019

“The only negative was that the sound from the outside to the Main Bedroom was quite loud .”

I didn't check if the room had double glazing but it didnt sound as if it had. Maybe an investment to consider .

- David, February 2019
Sharon December 2018

“The flat was really clean, spacious and in a good location with excellent security and a free car parking space.”

However it was really noisy and there was a huge 'hole' in the wooden frame above the window in the master bedroom which made it more noise and 'drafty' - especially in January. There was also a huge vent pipe outside the double bedroom from the restaurant that was noisy too! A little disappointed especially the cost of the property - maybe should inform customers of the noise levels.

- Sharon, December 2018
P October 2018

“It would be helpful if on arrival guests were shown to their accommodations”

- P, October 2018
Clare September 2018

“Please refer to the email I sent you regarding fire regulations.”

I do feel a sense of obligation to refer these concerns to a higher authority. Perhaps you can provide some reassurances and explanations that would make that unnecessary.

- Clare, September 2018
Ann September 2018

“Excellent location, very comfortable base, with loads of walks straight from the doorstep in beautiful scenery.”

It can be a little noisy at night from passing nighttime revellers but overall this did not detract too much from the holiday at all. We would return to this flat.

- Ann, September 2018
Alan September 2018

“One of the best rentals we have stayed in!”

Location super, furniture and fittings of very good quality, very good lighting throughout, ( unusually in most lets and we stay in 4/5 a year)for anyone on a walking hol in this area ideal. Would recommend this let. Secure parking, ( tho next to commercial bins) this was not a problem.and entrance to property secure, ( 3 locked doors! ) Although on the second floor there are only two small flights of stairs, all in all an excellent property!

- Alan, September 2018
Dawn September 2018

“The apartment is ideally situated, well equipped, clean & tidy.”

On departure we reported concerns with the plumbing as the toilet was very noisy, the bath taps tight and the shower rail a bit wobbly! We only got one set of keys (although when I asked on checking out, there was another set) which was a safety issue due to locks/access to the building. Not the prettiest entrance to a property (I wouldn't like to have been on my own on dark nights) and as long as you don't want a lie in (refuse trucks empty bins daily) it was a great apartment right in the centre of Keswick.

- Dawn, September 2018
Paul August 2018

“The accommodation was in a fantastic place for restaurants, shops and the surrounding attractions.”

There is a cafe/pub opposite that was open til late and most nights people were very noisy and disturbed our sleep or relax time. The windows even closed did not keep the noise out. Maybe the windows need to be changed to eliminate any outside noises. The beds mattress and pillows were not what we are used to, my opinion is to have a firm mattress and pillows or a choice of soft or firm pillows.
