Great location

This is the 2nd tie we have stayed, and we’re very happy with the experience. The location is great. The steps up to the apartment would mean I wouldn’t recommend it to someone with mobility issues.

Great place to stay

Easy to book a last minute getaway over the phone. Shortly after payment we received an email confirming the booking and providing full details of the property, key safe number, location etc. The property is very spacious, well-equipped, comfortable and quiet. Parking space in Keswick a great bonus, and location is very central, just a couple of minutes walk away from the centre of town. We would certainly stay here again next time we visit the lake District, and would recommend the property to family and friends. Thank you.

Hi Philip, Thank you for your review. Alban Rise's central location make it a great base for exploring Keswick. The parking space in such a central location is a real bonus and with the bus stop just over the road from the property you can travel further afield without the hassle of taking the car. We hope you had a fantastic holiday and we will hopefully welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottage

October break

We found the property to be very clean and well equipped for our needs. Allocated parking and proximity to supermarket and buses was very convenient. Mention should be made about the access to the property as the top two steps are quite high and care should be taken especially by those in our age group - over 70. Throughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your review, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Alban Rise and had everything that you needed.

Alban Rise

An excellent property. The location was perfect being just off of the main shopping area and provided easy access to places of interest outside of the town. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge was spacious and comfortable. My only negative was the mattress which I found uncomfortable, otherwise the letting deserved a 5 star in every area.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jun, 2024
Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you found this an excellent place to stay at and that the kitchen was well equipped with a spacious comfortable lounge.

Great property and location.

Stay for 1 week and had no complaints. Very clean, tidy and fitted accommodation. Kitchen has everything you need with plenty of space to relax. Comfortable sleeping with handy black out blinds. Parking directly outside of the property and located within 2 minute walk of the high street. Would recommend
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Sept, 2023
Thank you so much for your review about Alban Rise. We are so happy your one week stay was great. We will let our cleaning team know about 5/5 star for cleanliness. The kitchen has some great features to it like the De Longhi coffee machine (that uses ground coffee). The black out blinds are especially handy for those sunny mornings. We hope to welcome you again.

Lovely stay in Keswick

Apartment was great, clean and spacious which was very useful for us as a family of 5 with two teenagers. Fantastic location right in the heart of Keswick with everything on the doorstep. We particularly enjoyed a trip the Theatre on the Lake and mountain biking at Whinlatter forest. Proximity to Derwent water was a bonus too. Access via back stairs not an issue for us but worth bearing in mind if you have mobility issues. Would thoroughly recommend.

We hope to welcome you again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Comfortable flat in a perfect location

While other reviewers have commented on the entrance in the rear courtyard, having previously rented another flat in this row we knew what to expect and were not put off. The flat itself is comfortable and the locaton could not be better for the views out of the windows and the convenience for shops, restaurants etc after a long day walking. Although after a sunny day it was uncomfortably hot in the front bedrooms.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 May, 2024
Thank you so much for your review of Alban Rise! We are so happy you found the flat comfortable and enjoyed where it is situated, being in the centre of Keswick and just across the road from Booths Supermarket, it is still quiet and offers amazing views of the surrounding fells. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely interior but exterior is not

The interior of the property was very spacious and well equipped, and the location was good being minutes from the shops, bars and restaurants in Keswick, as well as being within walking distance of the lake. Other reviews have mentioned this - there are 15 quite steep exterior metal steps up to the property which is on the first floor, which should perhaps be made clearer in the description. Also, the entrance steps are in essentially in an alleyway which was full of rubbish from the restaurants on the ground floor - apparently the week we stayed there was a problem with the bin collections, but despite this, there was rubbish all over the alleyway which remained throughout the week - it didn't give a very good first impression of the property and wasn't great to come home to every evening. Once inside, however, we had no issues.

Perfect in every way

This place is a cracker. Central, beautifully furnished, well stocked. Fabulous sofa with lots of living space. Very clean and a fantastic De Longhi coffee machine (uses ground coffee). Warm and welcoming. The only downside is not the apartment but the outside steps in the dark so leave the porch light on if you are going out at night.

An excellent property

Alban Rise is the best of many places is Keswick we have rented over the last decade and more. Comfortable, clean, very spacious, centrally located and with a generously sized dedicated parking bay. Worth noting that it is a 1st floor flat and the stairs from the car park contain one steep step that would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues

Had a great time, great flat and location, very clean and comfy, only issue we had was the outside stairs leading to the flat, the top two stairs were high, and was caught out a couple of times.
