Apple Cross

Keswick sits at the heart of the Lake District, surrounded by high fells and accessible walking routes. Apple Cross is a three-storey end-terrace house positioned within easy reach of the town's shops and pubs, yet set back enough to feel separate from the bustle. The property sleeps six across three bedrooms: a double, a twin and a kingsize on the top floor, served by two bathrooms with showers. It's the kind of layout that works equally well for families and groups of friends.

The ground floor spreads across a living room, separate dining room and well-fitted kitchen where you can cook properly—electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher and all the basics are there. A conservatory overlooks the enclosed garden and patio at the rear. Upstairs, bedrooms are comfortable and the top-floor room has views across Keswick's rooftops toward the surrounding fells. Wifi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. An enclosed garden means dogs are welcome, and there's a bike store if you're planning to cycle. On-street parking is normally available nearby. Note that the property has steep stairs between floors.

The surrounding terrain suits walkers and climbers—Latrigg and Catbells are on the doorstep, while Skiddaw, Blencathra and Helvellyn rise beyond. A pub sits within a mile's walk. No smoking inside the house.
