Soak up the very best that Cumbria has to offer in this wonderful location, enjoying all of Keswick’s many tourist offerings and the outdoor adventures that lay waiting close by. Less than half a mile takes you to the town centre with its independent cinema, waterside theatre and totally unique Pencil Museum, along with plenty of places to dine and unwind. You’ll also find yourself less than 1 mile from the shores of Derwentwater where boat trips and water sports are on offer. Also close by is the Lakeland fells of Helvellyn (8 miles) and Skiddaw (5 miles) with their abundance of unforgettable walking or cycling routes all-around.

Boasting a slate exterior which is traditional to the local area, this property is certain to wow you from the inside out. Five shallow steps lead from the pavement to the shared front door with the upstairs apartment, which is also a holiday let. Step inside and discover a stylish space laid out across the ground floor. Enter into the open-plan living space with its impressive bay windows and high ceilings. Here you’ll find a lounge to one side and a kitchen on another. The bright kitchen has been fitted with a fridge, freezer, electric hob and oven, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher, along with a generous dining table for enjoying romantic meals together. A wood burner-effect electric fire is the focal point of the sitting room. Settle down in a cushy armchair or sofa to flick through the TV or delve into books left out to be enjoyed. Continue along the corridor to discover the king-size bedroom, a sumptuous space with stylish wooden furniture and plenty of storage. Completing the property is a contemporary en-suite bathroom with WC, luxurious waterfall shower and heated towel rail.

Take morning coffee outside in the patio space to the back of the property. Here you’ll find a much-needed bistro set to sit and relax along with outdoor lighting to enjoy the space at night time.

Lovely cottage, great position, all the equipment one would need. Unfortunately they had forgotten to clean the apartment and with such a late arrival time (5pm far to late) we were shattered from travelling but had to walk around Keswick until they tracked down a cleaner to clean it.

Athena is a lovely apartment. The bed is comfy and the shower is fab. The open plan kitchen/diner makes it feel spacious, even though it only sleeps two. The accommodation has everything youll need from kitchen appliances and utensils to local information. Its a short walk to the centre of Keswick/Derwentwater Lake, so perfectly situated.

It was completely impossible to park anywhere near the apartment, if a spot became available it was filled immediately. People were driving round and round to find parking. I did ring the holiday company before we booked and was told you should have no trouble at all. Initially we had to park two streets away. We therefore didnt use the car for theRead more duration of our holiday Hide

Athena is a nice apartment within a great location for visiting Keswick and for doing the local walks. We were lucky to get parked outside and didnt move the car during the whole stay. The lounge and kitchen area are very comfortable as is the bedroom which has a very comfy mattress. Nice en suite shower room. Main downside for us is the large famiRead morely apartment upstairs which has little soundproofing as proven by the two families occupying it during our stay ! Love kids but were here to chill!
