Guests say
Hindscarth is a well-regarded top-floor apartment praised for its superb location in Keswick, offering splendid views and convenient access to local amenities. Guests appreciate the cosy lounge, well-appointed bedrooms, and the added bonus of on-site parking. While the kitchen and bathroom may be dated, the property's cleanliness and comfort are highlighted, alongside thoughtful touches that enhance the festive spirit during holiday stays.
The property is generally described as clean and tidy, with well-appointed living spaces. However, there are mentions of the bathroom requiring extra cleaning upon arrival, and the bath sealant being discoloured, which suggests room for improvement in cleanliness.
The location is consistently praised for its convenience, with easy access to shops, bus stations, and superb views. The central location next to supermarkets and the provision of on-site parking are particularly appreciated.
Guests find the sitting room and bedrooms comfortable, with cosy furnishings. However, some guests noted a lack of hanging space in the single bedroom and an uncomfortable bath, indicating that while comfort is generally good, there are areas that could be enhanced.
The facilities are seen as basic and functional, with a well-equipped kitchen and the presence of a smart TV. However, there are comments about maintenance issues, such as the secondary glazing being removed and a limited number of mugs, which affects the overall score.
While guests mention thoughtful Christmas decorations, there is no consistent reference to gifts or personal touches that would warrant a score in this category. It is politely noted that such thoughtful gestures are not guaranteed.

We have stayed a few times at this well placed flat. Since our last stay it has been freshened up. They had thoughtfully put up a little Christmas and little decorations around to help feel the Christmas vibe whilst away. Lovely personal touches around too. We love coming here and with parking place to hand, it suits just setting out walking straight in to Keswick with walks all around. A beautiful spot and other places to visit are not far away. We shall no doubt be back….again!!

A lovely warm and welcoming second floor apartment, very clean and tidy, lovely views of the hills from all windows. Fabulous location, out of the gate and left into town, couldn't have wished for a better spot! The only negative was that the guidance to find the key safe box wasn't very clear at all. If it hadn't been for another couple who were unpacking their car, we wouldn't have known to go round to the side gate, down to the bin area and look for the key safe box there, and in the dark as there were no lights on made it quite difficult. The booking information does need updated on the website. But, other than that, a perfect location and apartment.

Hindsgarth is a perfect apartment in an excellent location next to the coop. It is the top floor appartment and felt very safe. Well equipped kitchen, fabulous master bedroom and a more than adequate single room. Cosy lounge with 2 comfy sofas, a smart TV and dining table. Nice bath and shower with hot water. It more than exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend.
