A brilliant apartment with space for all the family, including your beloved dog, adventure days away at Derwentwater before getting cosy back at home.

Tucked away in the market town of Keswick, in the spectacular Lake District National Park, this ground-floor apartment is perfect for families and their canine companions. Known as the ‘Outdoor Capital’, Keswick is popular with outdoor enthusiasts who want to walk, cycle, canoe or climb. You’ll be well-placed to explore the natural beauty of the northern lakes with Derwentwater less than a mile away and Bassenthwaite Lake, a nature reserve with its own nesting ospreys, less than 5 miles. Located just outside the town centre (1 mile), you’ll also have a range of independent shops and eateries a short walk away.

Situated in an end-of-terrace house, this ground-floor apartment is light and airy throughout. Carefully laid out, there is plenty of space for everyone to spend quality time together. After parking in the dedicated space, head inside where you’ll find the open-plan kitchen/diner. The well-equipped kitchen is cosy and contemporary with everything you’ll need to cook up some treats. Next door, there is a comfortable lounge with a wood burner-effect fire for colder evenings. A large double bedroom and a smaller bunk bedroom provide somewhere cosy to rest at night, whilst a family bathroom (with a separate bath and shower) completes the accommodation.

Keswick is a good base for a number of walking routes, including the gentle walk up to the atmospheric Castlerigg Stone Circle (1 mile), which offers stunning panoramic views. The quieter northern ascents to magnificent Skiddaw and Blencathra are a little further afield, but well worth the journey, as is Catbells (all within 6.5 miles). Heading 8.5 miles south, you will arrive at beautiful Borrowdale: a good starting point for Scafell Pike. The town is also home to the unique Derwent Pencil Museum.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 king-size, 1 bunk bed
  • 1 bathroom with bath, separate shower and WC
  • Fan oven, five gas hobs, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine
  • Wood burner-effect gas fire
  • TV, Blu-ray
  • Wi-Fi included

  • Designated parking for two cars within the shared parking area at the back of the property
  • Please note, towels are not provided
  • Shops, restaurants and pubs within 3 miles
  • This property will be decorated for Christmas
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 1 dog allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week
  • There is an Accidental Damage Deposit of £200 when booking at this property, however this may be waived for £25. We’ll provide more details about this when booking your holiday.

We loved our stay at 3 Ridgemont. Although it was an apartment it felt very spacious. The facilities were all great. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Location was great, right out the front door you are on the K2T trail which can either take you into town which takes about 10 minutes or Threlkeld. It was perfect for riding wiRead moreth our young daughter and walking the dog. Although you are on the main road we heard minimal noise. We would definitely stay again. Hide

This is a good base for exploring the north end of the lakes. You can walk safely into Keswick along the K2T trail. I have made some suggestions to the owner about maintenance and cleanliness to make this a really nice stay.

Great easy to access location and very cosy with ample parking just have to be aware noise from flat above and noise from a very busy road outside so no good for light sleepers.

Lovely ground floor apartment, large size rooms well equipped kitchen everything very clean. Furniture is a little dated and road noise is obvious during the day but fine at night. All in all a comfortable stay and right beside the old railway line for cycling/walking you dont have to take the car out again.
