Hi, Anna!
We're pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We completely agree-- Skiddaw view is perfect for couples or singles, especially for a rainy date night, or unwinding after a day exploring the Lakes, with Netflix and SkyTV included on the Smart TV.
The property is very well-located for adventures in Keswick and the surrounding villages, or to venture off into the rest of Cumbria via car, with private parking included.
Best wishes,

Mid August Break
I stayed at Skiddaw View for 6 nights mid-August. All instructions for arrival were clear with photographs where necessary e.g. car parking, although the number identifier had fallen off (Keswick Cottages informed). The parking space in the communal car park to the rear of the apartments weirdly had a couple of metal poles either side of the top of the allocated parking space and it was tricky turning into and reversing out of the space without some micro-manoeuvring (and I only have Ford Focus). TIP - reverse in is much easier, but care if you have a big car.
The apartment is first floor and was clean, comfortable sofa, really nice bed, plenty of storage space, great view when at the dining table and very well equipped for self catering which I like to do. The location being right by the centre of Keswick is equally convenient for eating out, shopping at Booths supermarket or there is a convenience store just by the communal car park. Buses run from the bus station by Booths which is also good for not having to drive. Heating wasn't necessary given the hot weather at the time I stopped, but the apartment faces north (GREAT view of Skiddaw as the apartment name implies) so was cooler, plus a fan was provided.
The location on the main road through Keswick does make for a lot of traffic noise which I found could be intrusive at times as I'm a light sleeper.

Great for a couple
Small but perfect for 2. Close to all keswick's restaurants, pubs, shops and cinema. Also close to a main road, which can be noisy during the day. Easy drives for the central and northern fells, as well as cumbria's west coast. Designated parking spot, which is a real bonus in such a busy town. Kitchen well equipped. Bed very comfortable. Would definitely book skiddaw view again.

A relaxing New Year's break
My husband and I, together with our dogs stayed in Skiddaw View between Christmas and New Years.
The apartment is located right in the middle of the town, with Fitz's Park right on the doorstep for our active dogs.
The parking is directly behind the apartment and very secure. The apartment was warm, extremely well equipped and we enjoyed more evenings in than out- due to the comfort on offer.
The Keswick Cottages team were so helpful before the trip, answering all and any questions we had.
There is nothing we could fault about our stay in Skiddaw View- we loved every minute and we will certainly be back.
