“Parking in Keswick difficult, should definitely be noted on the advertisement.”

Also the car space dsignated has an insanely narrow lane to get down, very small cars only. This should also be advertised.

“Lovely place, the only downfall was the weather”
Mrs Cregeen January 2020

“A slight problem was the number of steps to access the property - I knew it was an apartment on booking but not quite how high it was to get to it (a friend staying with us is awaiting surgery + mobility isn't easy!”

) - despite this it was a great base for us + even he found it so central for all pubs, shops, coffee bars etc that the steep climb was offset. A great apartment - well-equipped; very comfortable + extremely handy for the fabulous pub food and great beer at The George
Mr Tierney December 2019

“Fantastic property in a great location.”

Very clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. Really handy to have it’s own parking space in Keswick albeit a very narrow entrance.
Mr Bateman October 2019

“Fantastic place to stay.”

Everything you need within walking distance. Very comfortable apartment with beautiful views.
Mr Shepherd September 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 Duncan September 2019

“Lovely, clean, comfortable well equipped apartment.”

Ideal location. Parking a bit awkward but still a bonus to have an allocated space.
Mr Slater 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
Mrs Collins August 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.
Dr Murray July 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
Mr Tait July 2019

“Access to parking a bit tricky but perfect spot in the town centre!”

Great views.
Rev Brice June 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.

“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 Germain 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 Livingstone March 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 Steward December 2018

“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 Coombs November 2018

“A great week in a great apartment in the best place in the world.”
Mrs Richardson October 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 .
MissingNZ97 August 2018

“Loved it!”

Brilliant location. Everything you could possibly need provided. The apartment was clean, light and airy. The alleyway to the car park space was daunting at first sight but we have a small car (VW Polo) and had no trouble getting in and out. Occasionally we were blocked in by people parking on double yellow lines opposite the alleyway to pop to the Premier shop or collect a takeaway from the Indian restaurant opposite - it just meant we had to be a bit patient and wait. Would definitely book again.
Mrs Turner July 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.
Callum W May 2016

“Great location - very well equipped”

When we arrived the apartment wasn't quite ready so we were told we could park up in the allocated space & come back for the key. Honestly it did make me and my husband squirm a little bit as the outside of the property is not much to look at, its in a bit of a back alley which is a bit tatty looking. However on reflection the location was brilliant as we were so close to town but tucked away enough to feel secluded, also the car parking space was ace as our family members who were staying at another property had to find parking on the street which in Keswick on a Saturday is pretty much impossible. The apartment itself is lovely, modern wood flooring and neutral colours, plenty of space for 2, I'm not sure how 4 would fair though. Sadly when we arrived there were some cleaning issues. Some things were immaculate but it was like some bits had been completely forgotten, the floor looked like it had not been hoovered and as an obsessively clean freak I had to hoover it myself so I felt comfortable. Also some mugs and cups in the cupboard went straight into the dishwasher before we could use them. Another problem we had was the bed - the apartment gets very hot and the bed had one of those plastic base sheets and sleeping on it was so uncomfortably hot and sticky, the fitted sheet that we were actually laying on kept popping off in the night so some mornings we'd wake up laying directly on the plastic sheet, sweaty and sticky. The duvet also was far too thick for an apartment that got so hot. Some good points were that the apartment has a massive window in the living area which you can fully open and look at the beautiful scenery. The open plan kitchen and living area is great and I loved the breakfast bar. With just a few tweaks and a bit more attention to detail this apartment would be 5 star. We'd still return as you can't fault the location and generally it is a lovely place to stay.

“Perfect location”

Once we had got over the trauma of trying to access the property via a very narrow alley, we discovered a lovely, modern and well equipped apartment, perfectly located in Keswick centre. Everything was clean, bright and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, so there was no need to bring anything. There are two supermarkets a short walk away and a convenience shop just across the road. Only one word of warning, if you have a large car, access to the property is tight.
Betty A September 2014

“Stunning apartment thats bright and spacious. Great location”

Stayed at Sky View and loved it. The central location was fantastic. I love to walk and walk I did. Hope Park, the Lake and Theater by the Lake were very short walks which enticed me to follow the path near the boat landing to Friars Crag (great views to Catbells, Maiden's Moor, etc.). Lovely walks around Derwent Water. The Keswick markets are just a moment away and restaurants and pubs everywhere. A late night market was open each night across the road which I found extremely convenient. From the lounge, the views across the roof tops out to Grisedale Pike and Whinlatter Forest are beautiful (even a very distant view of Bassenthwaite Lake). The apartment was very comfortable - felt at home. Everything is new. I noticed it was extremely quiet although right in the center of Keswick. The kitchen had everything I needed and the bedrooms were very cozy. Great place - will visit again....
