THE NEWLANDS APARTEMENT
Newlands is a beautifully appointed two-bedroom apartment set over the first and second floors of a historic Grade II listed building in the heart of Keswick. Enjoy stunning views across the town to the surrounding Lakeland fells, with modern comfort wrapped in centuries of character.
Once part of the Royal Oak Hotel—Keswick’s main coaching inn and a celebrated meeting place for the Lakeland poets—this building has hosted literary greats including Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Sir Walter Scott, and Lord Tennyson. The hotel was tastefully converted into luxury apartments in 2000, retaining its elegant original entrance, grand staircase, and period charm.
The apartment has been thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the spectacular fell views, with a spacious lounge on the second floor. It is fully double-glazed and centrally heated, ensuring a warm and cosy retreat throughout the year.
