Spire View,

This hideaway period apartment in the charming market town of Keswick is ideal for a family or couples seeking to explore the Lakes. Sleeping four guests, it is moments from independent shops and eateries and offers an ideal base for exploring the wealth of beautiful lakes and mountains that surround the town. Alhambra cinema is a 2 minute walk away. Derwentwater (0.5 miles, Bassenthwaite (3 miles) and magnificent Skiddaw (5 miles) are all close by. Take a boat cruise around scenic Derwentwater, or enjoy the changing views on a walk around the lake. Other Keswick attractions include the town’s famous Pencil Museum or live shows at the Theatre by the Lake. Just 1 mile away, discover the Castlerigg Stone Circle, a remarkable landmark dating back more than 4.500 years. Further afield, Whinlatter Forest (5 miles) has an unmissable Gruffalo Trail, along with cycling and mountain bike trails. Enter this secluded bolthole from a rear entrance leading to a shared hallway. The climb up to your rooftop eyrie is worth it for the splendid, far-reaching mountain and verdant view from the dormer windows in your cosy apartment. The open-plan living space is pleasantly furnished, and encompasses two comfortable sofas, a dining area with a country-style round table and a neat kitchen along the back wall, together with the all-important coffee machine. After a day of crisp mountain air, sleep well in the two welcoming bedrooms, a double and a twin. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC completes the layout. While there is no outside space, you have the idyllic beauty of the fells and lakes on your doorstep. Keswick is also blessed with delightful green spaces in the town centre such as Hope Park, with its lovely gardens, stream and picnic tables, Upper Fitz Park with a playground, and Crow Park. All have glorious views. There is parking for one car.
