How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 15 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.4/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet policy at a glance
- Up to two pets per booking.
- The apartment sits beside a river, so dogs need supervising outdoors.
Pet-friendly summary
Apartment 6 is a first-rate base for walking a dog around Keswick, mostly because of what is on the other side of the gate. The Keswick to Threlkeld railway path runs straight off the site: a level, traffic-free former railway line that follows the river Greta through woods, tunnels and bridges for several miles. It means a proper dog walk is available in any weather and at any hour without touching a road.
The flat itself gets warm feedback from guests travelling with dogs - comfortable, well equipped, with good views from the windows and a balcony, and an on-site manager who is there to greet arrivals. Up to two pets can stay. There is a green and a play area on the site, which helps if you are travelling with children and a dog at the same time.
The one caution is the water. The apartment sits beside the river, so dogs need supervising outdoors, which is worth knowing if yours is the sort that heads straight for the nearest current. There is no private garden either, this being a flat within a larger development, so the balcony rather than a lawn is where you will sit out with a coffee.
Guest feedback on the property overall is good rather than uniformly glowing, with the setting and the walking doing most of the heavy lifting. Apartment 6 takes a 4.6/5 paw rating, and it suits a couple or a family with one or two dogs who would rather have a level, traffic-free walk on the doorstep than a private garden, and who are happy being a few minutes out of the town centre.
