“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.

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.

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 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

The property

Baystones is a fully refurbished and modernised apartment set over three floors above the Lakelovers office, situated in the heart of the market town of Keswick, just a minutes' walk from the market square.

This property gives you a real home from home feel with quality furnishings, smart bathrooms and a contemporary kitchen.

The open plan kitchen and lounge are the focus of the home here with comfortable leather sofas, a dining table ideal for everything from a hearty breakfast or spending an evening socialising with friends and a 50" smart TV for an evening with your feet up.

The kitchen is well-fitted with everything you need to cook up a delicious feast for you and your party.

On the second floor there is a spacious king size bedroom with en suite shower room and a very large family bathroom with feature free standing bath and walk in shower.

On the top floor there are two further bedrooms.

A second specious kingsize bedroom and a lovely twin room.

Keswick is one of the Lake District's most popular destinations.

This friendly town hosts the very popular twice weekly market that has recently won the coveted 'Best Outdoor Market' in the Great British Market Awards.

The village also offers a fantastic array of shops offering everything from craft bakeries and local produce, antiques, crafts and much more.

If you are looking for somewhere to eat and drink, a week just won't be long enough to sample the great range of pubs, restaurants, bistros, cafes and wine bars!

For a great evening out why not visit the 100 year old Alhambra, offering first class cinema entertainment in traditional surroundings or enjoy an evening at 'the most beautiful and friendly theatre in Britain', the 400 seat Theatre By The Lake on the shores of Derwentwater.

Enjoy a cruise on Derwentwater, walk onto the fells; Cat Bells, Skiddaw, Coledale Horeshoe and Blencathra are all nearby, head underground at Honister Slate Mines or enjoy mountain biking in Whinlatter Forest.

For day trips throughout the Lake District, Ullswater is a short drive away offering lake cruises, great walking and the beautiful Aira Force Waterfall, Buttermere and Crummock Water offer sublime scenery.

Ashness Bridge and Surprise View situated above the Borrowdale Valley should not be missed and perhaps even a cup of tea and homemade cake in the unspoilt village of Watendlath.

If you are looking for a smart, centrally located cottage in one of the Lake District's popular market towns with easy access to all the local amenities and offering a great base from which to explore the Lake District, then book your stay at Baystones.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
