Excellent property and view. .just a few minor comments..there was no salad spinner and serated knife for cutting bread etc...kitchen scales would be useful,such as for weighing rice portions. Overall, very impressed with the property.

We have stayed twice at Kirkstones and found it a quiet, well equipped apartment with wonderful views of Keswick and the surrounding fells. However we were much more aware on the second occasion that it is an apartment not a house, there being two properties in the building, and the noise from upstairs was intrusive, even though I don't believe the occupants were doing anything more than just walking around. It may be that the ceiling between floors was insufficiently soundproofed when the restructure took place, but it is something we would need to consider before booking again, along with the fact that the patio area is closely overlooked by the balcony of the upper property. It's a lovely place to have a break, but maybe better if upstairs isn't occupied.

The property was perfect. Comfortable Beds. Kitchen was more than adequately stocked with utensils and crockery .Spotlessly clean everywhere. There was a slight musty smell in both bathrooms but that could be due to being closed up. It disappeared after an airing and when windows open where possible. The view was incredible and the property certainly under sells this point. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace 3 mornings out of 4. We also encountered a Hedgehog one evening in the Hedge at the back

We have visited this lovely, comfortable, clean and extremely well equipped property on numerous occasionsns. It is always the one we look for first now when visiting the Keswick area. The spectacular views from the patio are an added bonus in this quiet and restful location. We also saw rabbits and a roe deer in the grounds. My only wish would have been for a room fan to be available and a lighter summer weight duvet but we did visit in a heatwave!
We have stayed at Kirkstones before, quite a few times! , and it didn't disappoint. The apartment is beautifully furnished, everything we needed was supplied, plus many extra's too. We are booked to come again in October and are looking at dates for next year too. Thanks Neil and Judith for the added extras too.
The View was absolutely magnificent. Will definitely be booking again.

The View was absolutely magnificent. Will definitely be booking again.
This cottage was outstanding and I cant say enough good about it. The fabulous view is what drew me to it in the first place, but the interior was exceptional. One of the best places we have stayed.
We really enjoyed our week in kirkstone flat. The views were fantastic. We would visit again. The only negative issue is the mattress in the main bedroom, it was too soft.
Exceeded our expectations. Set in a very idyllic location.Breathtaking views of mighty Skiddaw and her neighbors. The flat is well equipped,warm,cozy.Very clean. Absolutely loved it.Pity we only booked for 5 nights
Russell

Howard
Clean & comfortable apartment in a quiet position with stunning views all around. The apartment had everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Unfortunately the weather could have been better but it is November in the Lake District!
We have stayed at Kirkstone's multiple times now. Everything from the booking to the arrival went well. The apartment was very clean and very well equipped. Really enjoyed our stay. I have just booked again for May 2026 and when we finalise the October date I will be booking that too. Many thanks again to Neil and Judith for the extra gifts on arrival. Roll on May 26!
Jacqueline
Kirkstones is clean, comfortable and incredibly well equipped literally everything for a wonderful stay. Beautiful views from the patio. Highly recommended.
Two years ago we came to Kirkstone and we have seen major improvements in that time. All good. Clean and warm house. We had excellent weather, watched the rabbits but did not see the squirrel this time.
Richard
The property was lovely and extremely well equipped with plenty of kitchen utensils, cutlery and crockery. The views from the patio were outstanding, even when it rained! We would definitely consider coming back in the future.
This a lovely holiday flat with stupendous views over the fells. We had a very enjoyable time.
Helena
This is a lovely, spacious, well equipped apartment with a terrace that gets sun most of the day and has amazing views although you can hear the main road. It's a converted house with an apartment upstairs which does mean you can hear your neighbour's quite clearly and we were asked not to 'slam doors in the middle of the night' when we closed our bedroom and bathroom door at 11pm to go to bed.
The only complaint we have is that we should have booked two weeks instead of one! Kirkstones is the perfect Lakeland retreat for exploring and unwinding.
We have stayed a number of times at Kirkstones. It is by far the best accommodation we have used. The apartment is spotless, comfy and everything we could need and so much more is there. We cannot wait to return again in October. We appreciate the gifts left for us from Neil and Judith.
Great location where everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay was provided. Would love to go back there sometime. Thank you. You even provided amazing weather!
Lovely cottage, immaculate, cosy and well organised! Everything you could want for a perfect stay. Very easy access's to Keswick and also close to great walks. Thank you!!
Alison
The apartment was really lovely comfortable, spacious, warm and well decorated. We will definitely be returning for another stay.
Belinda
Amazing house, great location and fabulous views
Lovely cottage, excellent facilities. Great location for exploring the beautiful lakes. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent property. All furnishings were high standard and maintained to a high level of cleanliness. Very well equipped..even had egg cups which we rarely find in holiday accommodation! Stunning views from the patio. We had a very pleasant and comfortable few days at Kirkstones.
We have stayed at Kirkstones four times now and it again did not disappoint. The apartment is furnished and cleaned to a very high standard. We love the peace and quiet. Cannot wait to return next year.
Robert
A very comfortable property in a lovely part of the Lake District. A shame we couldnt have stayed longer.
Jackie
What a joy it was staying at Kirkstones. The cottage itself was so lovely. Sparkling clean, well furnished and comfortable. Importantly for me not fussy. The situation was majestic overlooking Skiddaw and every day we sat on the terrace. Looking at the views Would definitely recommend this cottage.
What a delightful property ! We absolutely loved it, especially the patio fab view which we made the most of because the weather mostly allowed us to do so. Initially we were surprised how much traffic noise we could hear but we soon got accustomed to it and heard the birdsong much more clearly. Great facilities kitchen a delight to use and the drying area in the boiler cupboard was very useful. Double bed extremely comfortable.
Rhonda

Gordon
Just FANTASTIC not a cobweb to be seen we cannot praise it high enough simply superb
We have stayed in this property 3 times now and each time its been the best cottage we have stayed in. Each year there has been improvements made. It's a great place to stay. We will definitely be back next year.
The holiday house was excellent. Warm and clean and with good facilities. We even saw the Red Squirrel. We will return.
Michael
Loved the property and especially the view. Ground floor with patio overlooking Skiddaw. Access to the property via the narrow lanes was quite tricky, involving a 3 point turn, but you soon learn the route options Very quiet location with just the 2 apartments upstairs and downstairs.
