“Lovely stay, really enjoyed the apartment.”

It was lovely and clean, modern and felt like a home from home. It is right in the heart of Keswick therefore close to amenities and the lake. The drying room is a great idea for wet clothes. We went paddle boarding so it was great to put our wetsuits in there. A note of warning: if you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs, you could hear every footstep of the people staying in the apartment above (they may have just walked loudly) and the main road next to the room late at night could be loud ...

A note of warning: if you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs, you could hear every footstep of the people staying in the apartment above (they may have just walked loudly) and the main road next to the room late at night could be loud from cars accelerating up to the top. Other than that perfect stay and we would love to return.

“The apt was spacious, comfortable and clean and free from ornaments cluttering the place - a real winner for us.”

Plenty of space for coats, shoes etc. We liked the ‘no key’ access to the apt as it meant you couldn’t get locked out - it worked so well. The bed was large and comfortable. The equipment was good quality. Overall it was the best place we’ve stayed in the Lake District. Only 2 small gripes - a clear message about towels and tea towels being provided would be helpful. More mugs would have been useful.

“Excellent location with parking, close to lake, parks and shops.”

The accommodation comprised of high standard fixtures and fittings with lovely artwork. Very warm, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely week with lots of long dog walks followed by dog friendly cafes and pubs. We will definitely come again!

“I found the apartment too warm and was constantly turning the heating down.”

I’d prefer to turn heating up when I needed it . The parking space is a joke, especially as the neighbour never actually parks within his lines . If we had parked in our allocated space then the other guest would not have got out . Please don’t over promise, or be honest that the space is for a small car. I found the bed far too hard. Maybe a topper would help . I know see other people have mentioned it on various sites . Otherwise nicely decorated, well equipped, quiet and great location.

“Property so welcoming on arrival.”

We were greeted by Angela, what a nice lady who gave us all the information we needed to know regarding the building and met her a few times throughout our stay, always helpful and very friendly. The property is beautifully furnished loved the colour scheme and there was everything we needed to fully enjoy our holiday

“This is our second stay at Howe Keld and we will be returning.”

Lovely accommodation, with a warm welcome from the wonderful on site manager, Angela, and luxury goodies in the kitchen. Why would we stay anywhere else? Only one small niggle. You can’t see in the mirror over the dressing table when you sit down on the chair, so you have to stand to dry your hair. Could this be lowered please?

- Maxine, September 2023

“Second visit to Howe Keld, being a great location within Keswick.”

Geoffrey July 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at Howe Keld 2 and that is an understatement.”

The flat was spacious, comfortable and equipped and furnished to very high standard. It is also in a great location within easy walking distance of Hope Park, the lake, the town centre and the Convention Centre, which was our main purpose for holidaying in Keswick. Angela, the live-in manager, was very friendly and helpful. In all we had a wonderful, relaxing time and will be booking again. The car parking space was great too.

It was also perfectly situated for easy access to all the local amenities in town and the lake by foot - the perfect base for your stay.

We highly recommend this accommodation - this will be our go to place to stay for our holidays in the Lakes.

“We've just had the most fantastic week in Howe Keld 2 with our small dog Poppy.”

The standard of cleanliness, facilities, decor and comfort were faultless, and the central location was ideal for the shops, bars, park, theatre and lake. In fact, we loved it so much that within an hour of arriving, we made the decision to book the same apartment for Christmas. Angela, the caretaker, had left a lovely welcome pack of local produce for our arrival. She was so nice and friendly and always available in case of any problems (although we had none). Howe Keld is the best place we have stayed in at Keswick on numerous visits over a period of 25 years and we would thoroughly recommend it.

- Janet, February 2023
Yolande February 2023

“Top class holiday rental.”

Howe Keld 2. We have stayed in many apartments and this is our favourite, so much so that we have booked again for six weeks time. Everything is very high spec, top quality, very pleasing to the eye, attention to detail is notable, comfortable in every respect, immaculately clean, very welcoming. A tea tray had been laid out for us with a cake and pot of jam, and tea, fresh coffee, sugar, milk were provided. The provision of things, like tea, towels, towels, bin bags, dishwasher, tablets, was generous. The housekeeper, Angela, is a very good communicator, very pleasant and friendly and willing to do anything to help. The apartment made our holiday, we actually enjoyed spending time in the apartment as much as we did going out exploring. There is only one slight problem for us and that is the parking, which was quite tricky for our car. It would’ve been fine if we had been in a mini though.

- Yolande, February 2023
Arnold November 2022

“Top quality apartment brilliant ever bit as good as pictures.”

Location for shops, bars, restaurants and Booths supermarket all within 5 mins walk. Angela the apartments manger is usually about and gives 100% to help and advise. Parking on site good although a little tight, better to reverse into the space. We stayed for a week with our dog and could have stayed longer, we had a really great comfortable stay. We will be back and definitely recommending the apartments. Arnold, Susan and Millie

- Arnold, November 2022
Joanna September 2022

“Excellent, centrally located appartment.”

Everything is good quality ,from furniture to soap in bathroom. Not your usual holiday let cast offs, upgrade television at home move old one to holiday let .Parking on site a bonus, but a bit tight.we will definitley be booking again. Even the dog relaxed as it is a quiet area, and not much noise from other apartments

“Stayed last week in August.”

One of the best we have stayed in. A lovely apartment which had everything you could wish for and more. On arrival we were met by the apartments manager,Angela, who was very friendly and answered any questions we had. Sidney(pooch) loved all the treats ! The apartment was beautifully decorated and felt very homely and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and what a delicious welcome pack ! The car park space is a bonus, especially in Keswick. We have an estate car and decided it was easier to reverse in the space as a little tight. We had a really great week celebrating a special birthday. Julie, Jason & Sidney

John Stephen August 2022

“Top notch apartment in a very convenient location with private parking for small / medium sized car.”

Very clean , comfortable and well equipped …. also has a laundry / drying room…. definitely merits 5 stars. Special mention to Angela the housekeeper … very friendly and helpful - and Bailey,s best friend ! Woof woof! A great week and we would love to revisit !

- John Stephen, August 2022
David August 2022

“Had a super week in this high class accomodation.”

Beautifully furnished and kitchen appliances etc top quality. Well positioned for town and lake. Lovely welcome pack on arrival, and Angela the housekeeper always around to help if needed. Two little suggestions, a lighter quilt for summer, and a clock in the living room would be a big help. Already thinking of booking for next year.

Julie June 2022

“The accommodation was excellent, everything we could have wanted and more.”

On arrival we met Angela (holiday link) she appeared genuinely pleased to see us, providing us with information regarding the apartment and locality (she even offered to help with our luggage and shopping bags) and was on hand to answer a couple of questions during our week stay (nothing seemed a problem to her) On entering the apartment we were greeted with a lovely welcome pack and an immediate feeling of quality. The location is ideal, very central for all amenities and great walking from the doorstep. We would definitely recommend to others and we have already booked another weeks stay in September. Jon & Julie Laws.

Gerald June 2022

“A lovely property in a great location.”

Clean and with everything we needed. Parking, though allocated, really only suits a small car as access was difficult. We didn't realise when we booked just how close to everything the apartment was. A short walk to the lake or into the town centre. We didn't need our car at all on those days.

- Gerald, June 2022
Jane June 2022

“Howe Keld apartments have furniture and fittings of quality not normally found in self-catering accommodation.”

Very comfortable beds, good shower and a well equipped kitchen. Excellent drying room in the basement with washing machine available for guests. The on-site housekeeper was very friendly and helpful. Excellent accommodation in the centre of Keswick.

- Jane, June 2022
Julie May 2022

“We were privileged to be the first people to stay in this beautiful property.”

We found the property to be stunningly furnished and decorated throughout. There was everything you need for a comfortable stay from all the appliances and utensils to the washing and drying room. Thanks for the yummy welcome goodies which is a lovely touch. Angela the friendly and lovely building manager is always at hand if needed. We would definitely come back and would definitely recommend. Thanks for the stay
