“Our stay at Baystones was absolutely wonderful.”

The location was fantastic – beautiful surroundings and conveniently situated. The place itself was warm, cosy, and felt like a true home away from home. We appreciated the permit for the car park and how surprisingly quiet and peaceful the setting was considering the location. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations, and we’d happily return. A well deserved 5 stars! Highly recommend.

“The house was very comfortable and had been nicely decorated for Christmas.”

Biscuits, cakes and drinks had been left for us and made us feel welcome. Everything we needed was provided and of good quality. The house was in an excellent location. We very much enjoyed our stay. Alison

David October 2024

“Lovely property, very clean and has everything you require.”

Location is central in Keswick so ideal for shops and walkers. The only downside for us was we do enjoy a bit of a lie in on a morning however as the property is situated about a restaurant, Cafe and WH Smith’s we were woken every morning between 6 and 7 by delivery Trucks so very noisy early morning.

- David, October 2024

Many thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed the stay. We hope to welcome you again soon. Property Owner
Robert September 2024

“Well equipped and clean.”

The only drawback is the number and steepness of the stairs, 16 to the front door and 16 to each of the 3 floors which would be difficult for older or less fit holidaymakers. Although overlooking the main street it was very quiet in the evenings.

- Robert, September 2024

Many thanks for your review. Were glad you enjoyed your stay and happy to hear you had a quiet and enjoyable break. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Kim July 2024

“Loved staying in this property and have already booked again for next year!”

Excellent location by shops and close to Fitz park, beautiful large rooms, excellent bathroom facilities with huge family bathroom and separate ensuite, lovely kitchen/diner/living room space and stunning views of the hills. Remarkably quiet, even though above the shops. Owner very helpful and immediately bought us new pillows when we asked if there were any extra. Also found it a bonus that the car park permit allowed us use of the other Keswick car parks as well. Only downside was entrance at end of dark lane but the torches provided were very helpful and everything else made up for that.

- Kim, July 2024

Kim, many thanks for great feedback. We agree the location is fantastic for central keswick and we're glad you enjoyed staying in Baystones. Looking forward to welcoming you back next year. Property Owner
Peta July 2024

“We have just returned from a lovely stay at Baystones.”

The property is spacious, comfortable and comes very well equipped and is a stones throw from all of the shops and restaurants. We found plenty of parking available on the surrounding streets but property also came with the added bonus of a digital permit for a carpark close by. The views from the top bedroom were wonderful we will definitely return.

- Peta, July 2024

Really happy you had a great stay. Thanks for the fantastic feedback and we would be happy to welcome you and your family back in the future. Property Owner
Edward July 2024

“Great stay overall, great value for money and a nice property.”

Great location. Only elements that let it down were that the blind in the double room on the top floor didn’t cover the window tightly enough, so light crept round the edges waking us up as the sun rose. The mattresses in the 2x single room were also incredibly soft so you sank into them when lying in bed.

- Edward, July 2024

Many thanks for feedback. Really happy enjoyed the stay at Baystones and found it great value for money. Appreciate the feedback on the mattresses on the single beds. As you can imagine it's personal preference and finding the right balance for everyone is never easy. If we continue to receive feedback of a similar nature we will look to replace them. Hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

“A large, well equipped property and superb location for town centre.”

A lovely stay.

Many thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner
Alan June 2024

“A really nice holiday home, well equipped and comfortable.”

Excellent location but I would caution anyone with mobility issues about the considerable number of metal steps up to the front door at the rear of the building. I would certainly go back.

- Alan, June 2024

Really happy you had a great stay. Look forward to welcoming you back any time!! Property Owner

Christopher June 2024

“Had a fairly good stay at the property, until we were accused of breaking something after.”

Hosts were fairly co-operative but still tried to charge us down for the money via court. Clearly have some issues with the management team running the property. Won't be staying here again due to that issue, although the hosts were fairly decent in resolving the problem the team running it have lied and left us out of pocket.

- Christopher, June 2024

The property is checked prior to every stay. For other people reading the review , the damage caused was not just a small item which we would not pursue, it was a custom sized door which had been smashed to pieces, the damage was so severe it was assessed by 2 separate tradesman and the door was not repairable. As you suggested in previous correspondence the damage was like this on your arrival, but you chose not to raise your concerns with the management company. Given the state of the door with shards of wood scattered across the floor, most guests would complain on arrival. As your party did not make any complaint during your stay and given the property is checked thoroughly prior to any arrivals it led the management team to conclude the damage was done by your group.

“Nice apartment with an interesting view over the centre of Keswick and mountains in the background.”

Nicely located for both town centre amenities and all the popular walks central to the lake district. More challenging with a dog, children etc as the entrance is up stairs and no front porch and washing facility. (bring a tub trug for washing dog). Useful utility room with toilet though. Really enjoyed the stay -thankyou

- Jonathon, May 2024

Glad you enjoyed the apartment and the views. Would be happy to welcome you back any time. Property Owner
