About this property

4-bed 2-bath Maisonette sleeping 6 In central Keswick with stunning views

Crandy Nook, built in 1891 of traditional lakeland stone, is a fabulous 4 bedroom maisonette converted to an exceptional standard in 2007. Centrally located in the popular market town of Keswick, the views of Skiddaw, Walla Crag, The Dodds, Castlehead Wood and over the rooftops towards Bassenthwaite, Dodd, Skiddaw and Whinlatter Forest, from the lounge and kitchen are simply stunning. Crandy Nook is offered on weekly, weekend or short break options with Monday or Friday changeover days.

Set over 3 floors above a coffee shop, on the top floor, with a vaulted ceiling, is the open plan lounge and kitchen diner, a cosy haven in which to relax and socialise. The contemporary kitchen is very well equipped with induction hob and granite work surfaces.

There are 2 bedrooms (2 doubles, a three-quarter (Queen) and a single) and 2 luxury bathrooms on each of the other 2 floors. Both bathrooms have walk-in showers, baths and heated towel rails.

The accommodation continues to achieve Visit England 4* rating, the last annual assessment being March 2024. We're very proud of our 9.8/10 Vrbo rating (35 reviews).

Keswick is an all year round popular destination on the shores of Derwentwater. This friendly town hosts the twice-weekly market (Thursdays and Saturdays) that has recently won the coveted "Best Outdoor Market" in the Great British Market Awards.

There is something for everyone. Activities include a variety of water sports, wall climbing, paragliding and swimming. Go Ape and mountain biking are in nearby Whinlatter Forest. Keswick also offers two large public parks which offer games facilities in open, wooded and garden settings. Other facilities include a new sports hall, leisure pool, cinema, golf (pitch and put and Keswick Golf Club), cycle hire and fishing. Why not try the 400-seat Theatre on the Lake or a cruise on Derwentwater.

You are spoilt for choice for walking. Use Keswick as a base or take in day trips to Ullswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere or further afield, the South Lakes. Personal favourites of ours are Dale Head & High Spy, Grisedale Pike, The Dodds, the Borrowdale Valley, Latrigg and the walk around the shores of Derwentwater. Those who are more adventurous, will head for Sharp Edge on Blencathra or Striding Edge on Helvellyn.

The holiday cost includes 2 parking permits for use in the neighbouring church car park.

We welcome one well behaved dog. For infants, we provide a travel cot (please bring bedding) and a high chair.

Lovely property in an ideal location
This is a lovely large property in the centre of Keswick, ideally located for exploring the Lake District. It is well equipped and very nicely done out. The owners provided lots of useful information on things to do and local walks. We had a great time thanks. [We would have appreciated slightly more of the basics (dishwasher tablets, w/up liquid, loo rolls) to avoid having to buy more of these.]

Every Convenience in the Heart of Keswick!
Crandy Nook could not have been a better choice for our stay in the Lakes—we stayed for a month and this was truly a home away from home! Well appointed kitchen with a dishwasher, 2 beautiful bathrooms with luxury showers, and a utility room with freezer, washer, and dryer—we could not have been better provided for—Hope our next stay in Keswick will be based at Crandy Nook—convenient to every Lakes sight we could wish for!

Easter Keswick trip
Accurate description of property , well stocked with Equipment and facilities lack of cold water to wash up , no matter how long we ran it for . And as a technically challenged person hate the Tv , it would be advisable to remind people to bring their App logins , luckily the younger members of the group knew theirs !. The entrance at the back had some issues - we couldnt offload at property and had to carry luggage from car park, we had to ask the restaurant to move their van to get past bins and van to leave.

Great Location, Not So Great Steps + Lack of Ventilation
We (5 adults) spent 7 days in this apartment/flat. It was our 3rd visit to Keswick. The location can't be beat, although with it comes the sounds of "downtown" -- mainly from dozens of folks lined up for gelato at the restaurant downstairs and early morning (6 AM) delivery trucks. Everything was pretty clean and comfortable, although we did find some remnants of earlier occupants on the bedroom floor -- dental floss picks, etc. Living room pillows were a bit grimy. Kitchen was modern and well equipped and everything worked well. Washer/dryer worked well, too. While we knew when booking that the property was spread throughout several floors, we underestimated the amount of up/down movement we'd be doing, as the living room/kitchen is on theTOP floor. Even though we are very fit and active, it became a real drag to keep going up/down 3+ flights constantly, as the living area is at the top and the bedrooms are below -- the reverse of most multi-story houses (like our 3.5 story townhouse that we live in.) Lastly, our main issue was that there is only a single window in the top floor living room/kitchen area. It was constantly hot and stuffy, despite opening nearly every window in the house and turning on a single fan. The back windows in the kitchen are fixed panes and act as a greenhouse -- super warm, even with the honeycomb blinds drawn. If a single one of those could be made into an awning window or skylight, it would make a huge difference! Overall, not a bad place to stay for a couple nights but I wouldn't stay again for an entire week.

Perfect place for a Lake District stay
We loved this place! Very centrally located, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The living room is absolutely beautiful with stunning views of Skiddaw. Kitchen is smart and well equipped. Bedrooms had very comfortable beds and lovely linen. 10 minutes walk from Derwentwater and perfectly placed for hundreds of walks. Absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish.

Great location!
We visited during storm Dennis but luckily the apartment was clean and comfortable as we spent most of the time inside. It is right next to the main square so when the winds died down we could quickly walk to the pubs without getting drenched. I’d definitely book again when the weather is a bit better!

Perfect location
A great property in a very central location. The bedrooms and communal rooms were exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for our stay. There was a utility room with washer, dryer, iron, ironing board, airer and freezer. The kitchen was full of plates, cups, glasses, cutlery, tea towels and the owners had left cleaning products and tea, coffee and milk. Great views from the living room and kitchen. We had two family members who aren't great with their mobility at the moment but they managed the stairs fine. Also, it was great that everything was within a 2 - 10 minute walk away. The nearby restaurants and cafes were brilliant. I would recommend Jaspers, The Sizzling Stone and Casa Bella which are only a stones throw away. We even met the cleaners as we were finishing loading the car and they were asking if we had enjoyed our stay. A brilliant place to stay in Keswick. My niece and nephew are desperate to go back already as we were all together in a nice light, airy, spacious place with lots to do on the doorstep. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Anthony & Lorna

Host profile image
We both have vivid and exciting childhood memories of the Lake District. Living in the North East of England means this great adventure playground is less than a 2-hour drive away. Our spare time is spent enjoying the beauty of the Lake District or keeping fit to help in our challenge of walking all 214 Wainwrights (we have just bagged our 148th (Feb24) - just when you thought you knew the Lake District well, embarking on the Wainwrights has opened up a whole new world.

Why they chose this property

We've always had a close affinity with the Lake District and when we purchased Crandy Nook (the building is actually Grandy Nook but is affectionately known to us otherwise) in 2007 we became part of it! We chose the property as it offered something different. Other factors were its location, the high quality conversion (it's a Victorian property, built in 1891) and the stunning views from the top floor. The market town of Keswick is popular all year round and has a certain aura.

What makes this property unique

The views of Skiddaw and Whinlatter Forest across the Keswick rooftops from one window, Walla Crag, The Dodds and Castlehead from another, are simply stunning. Latrigg is visible from the main bedroom bay window. The property is "home from home" and is handily located in the centre of town, a few minutes walk from the Moot Hall, from where many of the local walks begin. There is a wealth of good pubs and restaurants nearby.
