Mr Taylor
October 2020

“Excellent and very well equipped apartment; a real home from home.”

Really minor niggles: 1. Could do with a new shower curtain as the current one is showing signs of mould. 2. The padlock on the car park barrier is difficult to open/lock and should be replaced (should be brought to the attention of the car park owner).

Mr Holdford November 2019

“Great location, right in the centre of town.”

Complete with a car space (which are at a premium) Large apartment, comfy beds nice and warm. Super clean you would never know animals were allowed. On a windy night the bathroom windows did rattle a bit, but soon fixed with a couple of wedges

“Keswick Loft was absolutely perfect.”

When we arrived the ladies in the Holiday Cottage shop where we collected the key couldn't have been more helpful. One even walked across the road and showed us where to park! Having an allocated parking space just at the foot of the stairs to the flat is worth a lot - so convenient - although parking in Keswick wouldn't be a problem anyway, judging by the car parks we saw! The flat is literally about 100 meters from the pedestrian area in the centre of Keswick, and one of the best features is the excellent Thai Restaurant only about 100 meters in the opposite direction. Living as we do in rural Norfolk it was a real treat to be so close to shops, coffee houses and restaurants - we had a lovely holiday and we'll definitely be back next year. John Fearnley.

Mr Scully September 2019

“Great location and excellent facilities, it has everything you need and the big bath was nice for a relaxing soak after a long day.”

.. and the ladies in the office were very helpfulm too. Work needs to be done on the entrances both front and back , but you/they already know about that. Recommend adjusting the light sensor at the rear entrance as it only ever triggered when we were already trying to struggle opening the door and I could only trigger it by waving arms at it, as Im tall enough... Only other issue we had was that the power tripped off twice and needed resetting by clambering up on top of the fridge...and despite all the arguments you can smell curry.............. but I'd certainly recommend Keswick Loft to anybody wanting to stay in Keswick.

Mr Fidgeon September 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

There wasn't anything we could fault in the whole experience. From picking the keys up to dropping them back off (within about 100m from the property) we enjoyed every second. Thank you for providing absolutely everything we could have needed. We will see you again soon

- Mr Fidgeon, September 2019
Mr Machin September 2019

“The location is absolutely on point.”

Parking was also good. Being able to step outside straight in the bustle of Keswick was excellent. We had an excellent holiday. The loft was exactly what was advertised. The bed was clean and very comfortable, kitchen was also very well equipped. We would definitely recommend and use Keswick loft again

“The instructions to find the place to pick up the keys could be more explicit as I first went to another place called lake something - half way down a road you don’t know is not enough!”

In addition the first night we parked in someone’s parking space because the parking space we should have parked in was hidden by bins - could the spaces be numbered to help prevent this in future ?

- Mrs Roberts, August 2019
Mrs Mawson July 2019

“We had a super time, and the apartment was a great space for us to live in.”

We stayed in this apartment last year and my daughters couldn’t wait to use the ‘BIG bath’ again! The only room for improvement, a better vegetable peeler, scales that work, and skirting board outside bathroom to be fixed but that’s just me be really picky!

- Mrs Mawson, July 2019
Mrs Morris June 2019

“We were very pleased with our rental in Keswick, UK.”

It was clean, modern, stylish, and well appointed. It had a number of special touches that really made it stand out. We are hoping to return and rent the same apartment.

- Mrs Morris, June 2019
Mrs Scouller June 2019

“We had a lovely week staying with our dog.”

The flat is in a great location and is so handy for the local amenities. Although the flat does not have a garden it is between two fantastic parks that are only a 5 minute walk away. We really enjoyed our stay.

- Mrs Scouller, June 2019
Mr Parry-Langdon May 2019

“The property is located adjacent to / upstairs from a busy hotel and an Indian restaurant.”

There were extractor fans running from 7am until midnight. We found the noise very intrusive, and were not able to open windows because of both the noise and the kitchen smells. We appreciate that others may not consider this to be a problem, but, for us, it did take away some of the enjoyment of a lovely and comfortable property. We certainly would not return to this particular property.

- Mr Parry-Langdon, May 2019
Mr Jones December 2018

“Great apartment in a nice central location, it doesn't look much from the outside but superb inside, very comfortable, warm and well equipped.”

Parking space is a bonus in Keswick. We all had a great week. The ladies in the office were very helpful with the keys etc, some great places to eat and have coffees etc.

- Mr Jones, December 2018
Ms Rayner December 2018

“We had a great break in the loft.”

It was really windy on the Saturday night and there seems to be something in the loft or roof that bangs that did keep us awake...... apart from that we loved it. The reviews said it was cold and that the heating didn't work, we did not find this to be true. We had no problem at all. The entrance in to the loft wasn't as bad as the reviews said, it's an old building and is what it is!!!! No problem there either! It's location is fabulous and with parking too what more could you want. We will return if the price is right. Natalie

Mrs Simms August 2018

“This apartment was fantastically located, lovely and spacious, and offered great facilities.”

The only niggle was that it could have done with a little more attention spent to the overall clean...for example, the skirting boards were very dusty, a few stains on the bedroom carpets, the silicone in the bathroom! The entrances are not very pleasant either and really need some attention giving to them especially as they are then topped off with a strange smell. We did see a note though saying the entrances were being renovated some hopefully this is true. However, the apartment suited us perfectly in terms of what we were looking for, the beds were super comfy and the overall comfort of this apartment was great. We would certainly book it again. It could be ‘almost’ perfect if the owners addressed the above.

- Mrs Simms, August 2018
Mr Asher July 2018

“We’ve used the same Keswick flat - Keswick Loft - for 5 years.”

We’re only changing accommodation because we’re bringing more friends with us next time to enjoy the convention and Keswick. Yes, we are using the same company for our new booking, you have been and are really good to work with. Thank you.

- Mr Asher, July 2018
Mr Sharp June 2018

“A well equipped comfortable holiday apartment, which would be ideal for a family.”

The location could not have been bettered, as it was in the centre of Keswick.

“Comfortable stay in great location”

Me and some friends stayed here a few weeks ago and it was a lovely modern and spacious flat, right next to the Keswick high street. The beds are amazingly comfortable, it was difficult to drag ourselves out to climb Catbells! The flat had it’s own private parking space too which was ideal. Would definitely recommend it.

“Really nice modern apartment”

Right in the centre of Keswick and less than a minute walk to the high street. Really nice modern & cosy feel about the inside and so spacious too! Had a lovely weekend away there, and the beds are very comfortable! Well equipped as well and a great bath/shower. There’s a private parking bay as well which is key in the centre! Highly recommend!

“Home from home”

We have just returned home from Keswick and have to say the cottage was excellent, it had everything you needed and more. As soon as we opened the door to the apartment we knew he had made the best decision in booking it, so cozy, relaxing and wish we could have stayed for longer. We didn't experience any noise as the restaurant downstairs has closed down. Lovely little parking spot right outside so it was easy to load the car up. One of the best things was the bed, it was so comfortable and I wanted to bring it home! so comfortable we didn't want to get out of it. The only think I would say is we took our dog as it was dog friendly, I wouldn't return with our dog as it was a lot of messing around when she needed the toilet, you couldn't just open the door and let her out we had to go 5 mins down the road to the grass which I know isn't long at all but when it's just before bed and first thing on a morning it was a bit of a pain. We would definitely return but not with the dog.

“Perfect location”

This apartment was brilliant value for money. You literally are in the centre of Keswick, near the lake and all shops. Inside the apartment is spacious, clean and modern. The living / kitchen area has lots of space. I only marked the rooms as a four just because the second room isn't the biggest but it's only a slight note on this. Don't be put off by the corridor or the back entrance as this isn't the best looking place. An outside light, would be beneficial on the stairs leading out. There's only parking for 1 car, so if your party hAs more you'll have to park elsewhere.

“Lovely Spacious apartment In Centre Of Keswick”

Located above a restaurant in town centre (next to the George Hotel) with a reserved parking space in the courtyard behind the property. The apartment is accessed via a rear metal staircase or through a door on the main road. Neither entrance is particularly attractive but once inside they are soon forgotten as the apartment is great. Very modern, spacious interior but felt warm and comfortable. Nice comfy double bed. A nice touch was all the books, maps, dvd's and PS2 games which were handy when the weather was poor. We experienced no noise at all as the restaurant and takeaway had closed down.

“not what I thought after reading reviews”

We stayed for 3 night at Keswick Loft ,after reading the reviews on trip advisor we were wishing we hadn't booked However we were pleasantly suprized by the standard of accommodation and the location We entered via the fire escape which was the easiest for us and the dog ,there was no dog faeces and the accommodation was cleaned to a high standard many amenities. Noise from the restaraunt was minimal and only disturbed the dog Bed was very comfortable and the flat was furnished to a high standard We would visit again

“Superb apartment in heart of Keswick”

Do not be put off by the outside of the building, once inside, it is a superb apartment, fully equipped kitchen and furnished to a high standard. It is in the centre of Keswick, so all amenities are on your doorstep. We very much enjoyed our stay.

“Lovely apartment - shame about the entrances”

The apartment itself is lovely, very well done out to a high specification, nice airy open-plan layout. The only downside to this apartment is the two entrance ways, both are quite grim and I wouldnt fancy having to arrive here at night or indeed go back to the apartment on my own when its dark. There was a little noise from the kitchens of the restaurant below, but this was not too bad and wouldn't put us off visiting again.

“Nice flat shame about where it's situated”

The flat itself was spacious, clean and very well equipped. What a shame about the approach to it - up some horrible steps next to an Indian Restraunt and down a dark and scruffy hallway. The key was marked as No 12 but the actual flat was No 4 so it took some hunting for initially - in and out of indian food store cupboards etc. There was, it turned out, another entrance via an outdoor metal fire escape. This was preferable when the weather was ok.

“Nicer inside than out.”

This appartment is really well equipped inside, with all the cooking utensils, crockery, cafetieres, etc you could wish for. The zoned lighting and wi fi were all apprecitated too, and we loved the complete set of Wainright maps/books in the little bookcase corner. My teenage boys liked the bachelor pad atmosphere of the furnishings. The Loft is well situated, very close to the pedestrianised area of town and yet it was quiet apart from noise from the local businesses, delivery vans, etc. The entrance lets it down, as it looks run down until you actually get inside, when we were pleasantly surprised.

“Our 1st stay in Keswick”

The approach to the flat was no clue as to the lovely flat that awaited us. The kitchen area was not very clean but once we had spent some time cleanin, the flat served us very well. We were 4 women, and felt that the 'wasted' space opposite the bathroom would serve well as a 2nd toilet/shower room.
