“Great apartment, very comfortable it's a very good size, perfect for two people, Very well equipped with a great kitchen, everything you could need, bathroom was very nice with a good sized shower, bedroom was a great size with two windows, the bed was comfortable with a good duvet and pillows.”

We had a very comfortable week in the apartment.

Ian September 2024

“This was a very comfortable first floor apartment close to the town centre with a supermarket next door so very convenient for topping up supplies.”

Car parking was easy enough albeit in a public car park 200 yards away. However the owner can get you a permit for your stay so there is no cost involved. A really good base for a holiday, would definitely stay here again.

- Ian, September 2024

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. We do hope to see you again at some point. Property Owner
David July 2024

“Overall good.”

Parking remains a problem. We took car out one day and could not get back into any of 3 carparks covered for 3 hours after our return. 2 minor issues with apartment. Toilet seat cracked. Kicking board falls down every time dishwasher door is opened.

- David, July 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this feedback. We will address the toilet seat and plinth as a matter of urgency. With regards to parking we are sorry you found this an issue but as you can imagine at the busiest times this can be a challenge and is not something we can guarantee however in all the years we have let the flat we have never had this issue. Apologies this may have affected your stay on this occasion. We do hope you come back and stay with us again at some point. Thanks. Property Owner
Richard July 2024

“Centrally located and well presented flat, great for older folks and others looking for a restful and enjoyable holiday.”

One drawback is lack of a close-by parking space. But, the arrangement for parking was really helpful and much thanks is expressed to the local authorities for their generosity in this matter. My only plea would be precise sketch of the location of the entrance to the flat. Also the address is 8a Tithebarn Street but the number on the wall is 2, and the online map I was using had Tithebarn Street as Main Street. Apart from these minor matters of short duration whilst a stranger orientate themselves the whole week was super.

Ann June 2024

“A well positioned apartment, close to Booths ( a wonderful supermarket), bus station etc.”

A lovely apartment, home from home. There could have been more toilet rolls ! And a welcome pack would have been good. Stripping the bed on departure ( as requested), well not sure about this one! But a great place and sure we will be back in the future.........

- Ann, June 2024
Amy May 2024

“We had an excellent stay, the flat was larger than expected, very clean and comfortable, well equipped and in a perfect location.”

Great value especially with the parking permit included. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Chris September 2023

“Ideal location to be so close to town centre 5 mins walk.”

Very comfortable and relaxing place to stay with everything you need for a comfortable break.No designated parking by apartment but managed to unload outside on arrival and park in Booth’s to load on departure. Whilst there roadworks outside but not too much of and issue. Main bus depot next door but again not excessively noisy. All round a lovely apartment to stay in. Shame about the weather so spent lots of time boosting the many pub’s economy!! Enjoyed so much we hope to return to stay again. Thank you to the owners.

- Chris, September 2023
Claire September 2023

“We couldn’t fault this property!”

Excellent location, clean, comfortable & absolutely everything provided you could possibly need. Thank you, we will definitely be returning!

- Claire, September 2023

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again at The Getaway. Kind regards. Property Owner
Fiona September 2023

“The apartment was very spacious and clean and the free parking permit is a real bonus in Keswick.”

If I was being really picky the sofa probably could do with new covers and a fan for the bedroom would be a lifesaver - we were lucky to have very hot weather but Saturday nights in Keswick are surprisingly lively so noise is an issue if leaving windows open. Other to that would highly recommend.

- Fiona, September 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We will look into the fan as suggested, as you can imagine in the lakes we rarely have such hot weather, however this may be something we now need to accept as the norm. Kind regards. Property Owner
Helen August 2023

“Had a brilliant stay at The Getaway and would definitely stay again/recommend to others.”

Having stayed in many properties now in central Keswick, this tops my list! Fantastic central location, easy access to supermarkets, parking and the bus stop which I made use of with the £2 single ticket price cap! Having the parking permit with the flat was a godsend and a worry off your mind knowing you're covered for your stay. The flat had everything needed for a comfy stay and as someone who likes to self-cater, it had everything needed to do this. Thank you very much for the stay in your lovely property, I will be looking for availability again in the future!

- Helen, August 2023

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We know how important our holidays are and we strive to provide everything we think you would need. We are delighted you found the Getaway to your liking and would be happy to welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

“Excellent holiday property with modern interior, everything you would need and in a very convenient location.”

- George, August 2023
Sandra July 2023

“Very enjoyable stay.”

We'll equipped and thought through apartment with everything you need for stay. Great location and sorting out parking was really helpful and appreciated... if I had to be pickie would just suggest an upgrade on settee as quite tired and not comfy after long day walking would be nice . Would book again thank you

- Sandra, July 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner
Debbie June 2023

“Fabulous property great location liked it so much have just booked for next year, small issue with hoover when cleaning, hoover didn’t work poss needs new one or at least that looked at.”

Also couldn’t understand why we couldn’t access all freeview channels but that’s just a minor issue. Your already aware with issues with shower but completely useable, lovely comfy bed, property clean throughout and can’t wait to come back next year

- Debbie, June 2023

Hi thank you so much for your feedback, we will look into the hoover, sorry it wasn’t working. Regarding the Freeview channels as this is not Freesat there are some channels that are not available, we may look to upgrade this in future. We are delighted you have rebooked and hope you enjoy your next stay as much as this one. Take care Property Owner

“Loved The Getaway !”

We have been visiting Keswick for many years now to attend the Mountain Festival and this is by far the best place we have stayed ! Already booked for next year, loved it

- Isobel, May 2023

Thank you for your comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again. The Lakes Cottage Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Hilary May 2023

“This was a superb property, ideally located, extremely well equipped and beautifully clean.”

The “extras” were just the icing on the cake like loo roll, washing up liquid, starter tea, coffee and milk! THANK YOU. We hope to be back next year.

- Hilary, May 2023

Hi Mrs Mills. Thank you so much for your glowing review. We do have an ironing board so I will look into where that has gone. I will also find out why the bins were not emptied. Once again thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. Property Owner
Robert April 2023

“The accommodation was very clean and spacious and right in the centre of town.”

It had everything you require for our weekend break and it would easily be suitable for longer stays as it has all the amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book this again. Thanks.

- Robert, April 2023

Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back. The Lakes Cottage Holidays Owner Relations Team. Property Owner
Lorna April 2023

“Excellent very well equipped apartment.”

A new shower hose and sofa cushions could improve it. And dirty dishes in dishwasher on arrival. Will defo come again...thankyou.

- Lorna, April 2023

Please accept our apologies for the dishes being in the dishwasher. This falls below the standards we expect and we will be speaking with the cleaner to avoid any repeats. Thank you for letting us know and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at The Getaway. The Owner Relations Team. Property Owner
Janet March 2023

“Lovely, comfortable flat.”

I knew it would be a busy road during the day, but it was quiet at night. I will aim to stay again next time I'm in Keswick. The location couldn't be better for the bus and for groceries. (The only improvement would be something in the shower to hold soap, shampoo, etc. There was nowhere else to put them but on the floor at your feet.)

- Janet, March 2023

As Dear Lorna. Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry you needed to raise the issues to us. With regards to the shower we have noted this in the guests folder to make sure you are aware but elected to defer the repair until the end of the season. It does not leak but does feel a little weird when you walk on it. The sofa is quite hard, IKEA seem to provide firmer cushions and this may not be to everyone’s tastes, we have inspected them and they appear to be fine. I can only apologise for the dirty dishes and I have been assured this was an oversight by the cleaners and our agents, I have been assured this will be looked into with a view of preventing any further occurrences. Thanks again for you feedback, this is always useful in helping us improve our guests experiences. Kind regards. Property Owner
Alison March 2023

“Lovely apartment with everything you need to cook (including a supermarket next door), or right in the centre if you want to go out.”

It had a good, big shower and the bed was comfortable.

- Alison, March 2023
Elaine October 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, close to everything that you could possible need.”

We have stayed in Keswick many times, and would choose The Getaway again! Car park permit a bonus too. Elaine & Tony

- Elaine, October 2022
Jan September 2022

“We found the property to be in a very convenient and central location.”

It was well equipped, and the living space was larger than we had expected from your website. The parking permit provided by the owner saved us a fortune in fees, as parking in central Keswick is normally very difficult and expensive. Would recommend and would choose again.

- Jan, September 2022
Roy August 2022

“We expected the local traffic noise so that was no problem as we benefited from the handy in-town location.”

Clear admin; well cared for apartment, clean and loads of space, plus lots of 'white goods' if people needed them. Why no blinds in the bedroom? Overall very pleased.

- Roy, August 2022

“Shower tray needs sorting but I believe they know about that I think they could ...”

Shower tray needs sorting but I believe they know about that I think they could find a better place for storing crockery than under the sink apart from that we enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again
