“Fantastic place to stay.”

Everything you need within walking distance. Very comfortable apartment with beautiful views.

Everything you need within walking distance. Very comfortable apartment with beautiful views.

- Mr Bateman, October 2019
“The flat was well set out, very clean and comfortable.”

Comfy beds. Very well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery etc. Couldn't fault it.

- Mr Shepherd, September 2019
“Lovely, clean, comfortable well equipped apartment.”

Ideal location. Parking a bit awkward but still a bonus to have an allocated space.

- Mr Duncan, September 2019
“The property was lovely and everything was of a good standard, the only thing we would have added would be a bath as well as a shower.”

The location was great with good facilities on the doorstep. The parking was a bit of an issue. We knew that we wouldn't be able to get our car through the small entrance archway to the parking slot, but we had been led to believe that there was plenty of free parking close by - we couldn't find any. We ended up paying £10 per day to park in the town centre. Other than that, a problem-free stay.

- Mrs Collins, August 2019
“What a great apartment and location!”

Everything you could need and more. The beds were very comfortable and the living area was bigger than the pictures showed. Perfect for a family of four. We couldn't use the car parking space as we have a very large car (narrow alley to the space which is noted in the description small car only) but that didn't stop us booking. We just parked 5 mins walk away. Highly recommend and would book again

- Mr Slater, August 2019
“Unlike most other accommodations we had to buy nothing but food for our stay.”

Liquid hand-soap in kitchen and bathroom; adequate supply of toilet rolls; dish-towels; kitchen paper; salt; and plentiful supply of cleaning materials were among the lovely surprises. As well as the welcome pack of sachets of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, hot chocolate and biscuits provided. It would have been good to have been warned about the additional internal flight of stair. Fortunately we were fit enough to deal with these but it was a shock when we arrived. The car alley-way was no problem to access but it was difficult turning the car within the narrow courtyard in order to drive out - patience and care needed. We would definitely consider staying at Skyview again

- Dr Murray, July 2019
“Access to parking a bit tricky but perfect spot in the town centre!”

Great views.

- Mr Tait, July 2019
“It was so good to be back in Keswick.”

This Flat is really great for us, really central. For sure, the vehicle access is a learned skill and a larger car would not have made the "yard" access due to a very limited width, though I am sure street parking is not far away at all. You could always drop off luggage then fine a place to park if necessary. The staff in the office were really friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to being able to book again.

- Rev Brice, June 2019
“The flat was much better than we expected.”

Well equipped with two sets of dishes lots of equipment and glasses.Only kitchen item I would liked to have seen is a decent chef’s knife. The prep knives were substandard for attempting to prepare meals. Note I am a retired chef so am used to slicing and dicing being a bit easier. The flat itself was bright and easily cooled down with tilting windows and skylights. We all said now if I were to move into a flat from our house this would be perfect. The location is ideal for accessing the town and the hills and lake. We were traveling using trains and the bus and as long as you can are able to walk this is a great location. It would not work for anyone with mobility issues as it is top floor of a very steep stair. We did have a problem initially finding the flat and how to access it. However thanks to several people in shops and offices and a call to the letting agency that was all remedied after a very short period of panic. The locals are great.The issue was that I had not received the critical email with those details and Booking .com unlike most of their listings seemed to be missing concise location details

- Mr Smith, May 2019
“Thanks for an amazing stay, the flat was beautiful.”

Car parking space was a challenge but great to have. We will be back

- Mr Germain, May 2019
“The only concern I had with the hole experience was the parking for the property, however it was highlighted in the description of the property, but had we used a bigger car I've no idea what we would of done.”

- Mr Livingstone, March 2019
“This was a Christmas break for us and we asked if decorations were available, A tree and decorations were not only provided but were in place on arrival.”

The apartment was fantastic, beautifully furnished and very clean. Facilities in the apartment were excellent and someone had taken time to think about what guests would need. This is the first time we have used Sykes Cottages and it certainly won’t be the last. Many thanks

- Mr Steward, December 2018
“A great week in a great apartment in the best place in the world.”

- Mr Coombs, November 2018
“Keswick is a great place to stay .”

The apartment was in the counter of town and yet was so quiet The surrounding hikes kept us very busy and was the perfect activity to keep teenagers engaged The apartment was homely , comfortable and so well equipped .

- Mrs Richardson, October 2018
“The shower was a bit intermittent until you got the hang of it.”

The driveway was indeed a challenge. We scraped the side of our car which now will need repaired can understand if this puts people off. Accommodation in a great place though. Towels and bedding beautifully clean. we enjoyed our stay very much other than damage to car.

- Mrs Turner, July 2018
“It was a beautiful home with excellent facilities except one issue with the shower - the shower door did not fit and the shower pressure was poor.”

However, it exceeded our expectations with its kitchen, cleanliness, airiness, warmth and beautiful decor. Highly recommend with great staff! XXX OWNER RESPONSE XXX The owner is glad to hear that you felt their home was beautiful and would like to make you aware that they have now replaced the entire bathroom including a new shower with rain head and hope to see you in the future..
