Great location and everything in apartment that was required.
Great location and everything in apartment that was required. Kettle was broken on arrival but replaced right away that same day so great service from the company.Apartment just a bit tired and needs a wee freshen up. Mattress was badly stained and to be honest a bit of a clean would not go amiss as very off putting to sleep in.. overall the apartment was great and the location. This is our second time here and will be back but hoping mattress is cleaned by then.

Catbells is in an ideal location and with the facility of an allocated car parking space the property couldn't be bettered. The pillows in the bedroom I think need replacing as they were not conducive to a good nights sleep [had to buy our own pillows]. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, we love this place and Keswick so it wouldn't stop us from booking Catbells again.

Stayed in this property 3-4 times and intend to again because of its central location, only 2-3 minutes from the town centre. We enjoy the view overlooking the busy street below yet it is quiet in the evening.
We didn't mind the steps and stairs to access the property. We find the property comfortable, roomy, airy and well equipped, and have not been disappointed. The property adds to our enjoyment of holidaying in Keswick. We enjoy the parking space as we can leave our car and walk everywhere.
