The Honey Loft in Keswick is a well-regarded apartment, praised for its comfort, cleanliness, and prime location. Guests appreciate the homely touches and the treats left by the owner, though some minor maintenance issues and additional kitchenware are suggested for an enhanced stay.
The property is generally considered clean, with one review mentioning it was not cleaned very well. This suggests room for improvement, but overall, the cleanliness seems satisfactory.
The location is highly praised for its central position, with easy access to the town, shops, and bus terminus. The convenience of the location is a consistent positive across reviews.
Comfort is frequently commended, especially the comfortable double bed. No significant complaints about comfort were noted, indicating a high level of satisfaction in this area.
Facilities are generally good but some reviews point out the need for maintenance and additional kitchen equipment. Issues like a broken gate hinge, a dripping shower, and the absence of a washing machine are noted.

About this property
Nestled in the heart of the quaint Lake District town of Keswick is this charming holiday apartment, The Honey Loft. Perfect for a romantic getaway, this property boasts terrific positioning to nearby amenities and makes a fantastic base for exploring Keswick and the surrounding Lake District National Park. Utilise the open-plan living space by rustling up tasty meals in the well-equipped kitchen before taking a seat to enjoy your culinary creations at the dining table before retiring to the corner sofa to relax and watch a film or two on the Smart TV. As the evening grows darker, retreat to the well-presented double bedroom, a tranquil sanctuary where you can unwind after a long day of exploring. Due to the property's superb positioning, be sure to stock up on supplies at the nearby Keswick Mini Market, or take a short walk to the nearby pub The Chief Justice of the Common Pleas where you can grab a pint before dining at either the Star of Siam or Merienda if you fancy taking a break from cooking one evening. Be sure to stop off at the Castlerigg Stone circle on your journey to the village of Threlkeld, where the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path End awaits those feeling energetic, while the Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum welcomes individuals seeking a more relaxed day out. A car or bus ride will bring you to the market town of Cockermouth, home to the National Trust landmark location of Wordsworth House and Garden, as well as the tranquil Memorial Gardens, an idyllic setting for a romantic afternoon stroll. Ullswater is slightly further afield, but worth stopping at as it offers visitors the chance to take in the natural wonders of Aira Force Waterfall and the eponymous Ullswater Lake. All of this and more can be enjoyed by booking The Honey Loft.
The tourist hub of the northern Lake District is the well-known town of Keswick, which has a lot to offer travellers at any time of year. The town offers a wide variety of stores and eateries to suit every taste, as well as miniature golf, wonderful parks, the renowned Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing, and fantastic mountain biking opportunities. Derwentwater, a beautiful lake at the head of the breathtaking Borrowdale Valley, is only a short stroll from the town centre. The stunning Newlands Valley is nearby, situated between Braithwaite and Buttermere, and the charming Bassenthwaite Lake is definitely worth a visit.

Brilliant location. Nice treats left by the owner. One suggestion that is just me being picky and isnât a deal breaker because Iâd go again is that I would have liked a bath towel.

It exceeded expectations in every way. Much care has been taken to make it a very homely place to stay. Its central location is ideal near the bus terminus, supermarket/shops, and the Convention Centre we were attending. Rugby Club parking was easy to use and not too far to walk. We used the local bus service to explore the area. Thank you.

The most comfortable double bed. The situation was just right for us, it was a little bit frustrating to not have a parking space close, but as we hardly moved the car it ended up not being problem, only unpacking and packing the car. The shower dripped continually and the shower head bracket failed to hold the shower head by the end of the week, but this is fixable and was not a huge problem. It would have been good to have a large bowl in the kitchen for salad, and cheese grater. Over all a lovely place to stay.
