Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Very clean, comfortable and stylish in a great location. Would definitely book here again.

"Second time of staying here - great location with parking."
We left the car and walked miles along the old railway line, around the lake, up Latrigg, Whinlatter Forest, Watendlath etc .
The apartment has high quality fixtures and fittings, well maintained and spotlessly clean. The laundry and drying room are a bonus.

"Lovely stay, really enjoyed the apartment."
It was lovely and clean, modern and felt like a home from home. It is right in the heart of Keswick therefore close to amenities and the lake. The drying room is a great idea for wet clothes. We went paddle boarding so it was great to put our wetsuits in there. A note of warning: if you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs, you could hear every footstep of the people staying in the apartment above (they may have just walked loudly) and the main road next to the room late at night could be loud from cars accelerating up to the top. Other than that perfect stay and we would love to return.

"The apt was spacious, comfortable and clean and free from ornaments cluttering the place - a real winner for us."
Plenty of space for coats, shoes etc. We liked the ‘no key’ access to the apt as it meant you couldn’t get locked out - it worked so well. The bed was large and comfortable. The equipment was good quality. Overall it was the best place we’ve stayed in the Lake District.
Only 2 small gripes - a clear message about towels and tea towels being provided would be helpful. More mugs would have been useful.

"I found the apartment too warm and was constantly turning the heating down."
I’d prefer to turn heating up when I needed it .
The parking space is a joke, especially as the neighbour never actually parks within his lines . If we had parked in our allocated space then the other guest would not have got out . Please don’t over promise, or be honest that the space is for a small car.
I found the bed far too hard. Maybe a topper would help . I know see other people have mentioned it on various sites .
Otherwise nicely decorated, well equipped, quiet and great location.

"We've just had the most fantastic week in Howe Keld 2 with our small dog Poppy."
The standard of cleanliness, facilities, decor and comfort were faultless, and the central location was ideal for the shops, bars, park, theatre and lake. In fact, we loved it so much that within an hour of arriving, we made the decision to book the same apartment for Christmas. Angela, the caretaker, had left a lovely welcome pack of local produce for our arrival. She was so nice and friendly and always available in case of any problems (although we had none). Howe Keld is the best place we have stayed in at Keswick on numerous visits over a period of 25 years and we would thoroughly recommend it.

"Top class holiday rental."
Howe Keld 2. We have stayed in many apartments and this is our favourite, so much so that we have booked again for six weeks time. Everything is very high spec, top quality, very pleasing to the eye, attention to detail is notable, comfortable in every respect, immaculately clean, very welcoming. A tea tray had been laid out for us with a cake and pot of jam, and tea, fresh coffee, sugar, milk were provided. The provision of things, like tea, towels, towels, bin bags, dishwasher, tablets, was generous. The housekeeper, Angela, is a very good communicator, very pleasant and friendly and willing to do anything to help. The apartment made our holiday, we actually enjoyed spending time in the apartment as much as we did going out exploring. There is only one slight problem for us and that is the parking, which was quite tricky for our car. It would’ve been fine if we had been in a mini though.

One of the best we have stayed in. A lovely apartment which had everything you could wish for and more. On arrival we were met by the apartments manager,Angela, who was very friendly and answered any questions we had. Sidney(pooch) loved all the treats !
The apartment was beautifully decorated and felt very homely and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and what a delicious welcome pack ! The car park space is a bonus, especially in Keswick. We have an estate car and decided it was easier to reverse in the space as a little tight.
We had a really great week celebrating a special birthday.
