Derwent Water Marina’s Stay by The Lake apartments sit on the edge of beautiful Derwent Water in the village of Portinscale, just outside Keswick in Cumbria. Each contemporary apartment enjoys uninterrupted views across the lake to Catbells and the surrounding fells, giving you front-row seats to the ever-changing drama of the Lake District landscape. With direct slipway access, complimentary Wi-Fi and private patios, the accommodation is equally suited to family holidays, romantic breaks and outdoor adventures.

This spacious ground-floor apartment has been designed with families and small groups in mind. Three comfortable bedrooms – one king, one double and one twin – sleep up to six guests. A bright open-plan lounge looks straight onto the lake through floor-to-ceiling doors that slide back to a private patio, ideal for watching the sunset after a day on the water. The full kitchen is equipped for proper cooking with oven, hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and microwave, while two smart bathrooms (one with bath, one with shower) ensure an unhurried start to each day.

This thoughtfully arranged twin-bed studio offers light, modern living space for two. French doors open to a secluded patio with breakfast table overlooking the marina. Inside, a neat kitchenette provides hob, microwave, fridge and kettle and there is a dining corner for lazy suppers. The contemporary shower room is tiled in calm tones and fluffy towels are provided.

Ideal for couples, Studio 2 is an open-plan retreat with a comfortable double bed positioned to make the most of the lake view. A compact but well-appointed kitchenette, dining nook and sleek shower room mean you have everything you need under one roof, while outside the furnished patio invites al fresco coffee as the morning mist lifts from the water.

Mirroring Studio 2 in layout and outlook, Studio 3 pairs stylish décor with picture-postcard scenery. The double bed sits opposite wide patio doors that frame Derwent Water like a painting. A small kitchen area, intimate dining space and modern shower room complete the apartment, and the private terrace is perfect for a glass of wine beneath the stars.

Step outside and you are already on the shores of Derwent Water, where paddleboards, kayaks, canoes and rowing boats can be hired on site, with residents enjoying a discount on tuition and equipment. Footpaths lead directly from the marina: a gentle 30-minute walk skirts the lakeshore into Keswick, home to independent shops, the Theatre by the Lake and the renowned Keswick Market. Keen walkers can tackle Catbells straight from the door, while cyclists will appreciate easy access to the popular Route 71. Local attractions include the Keswick Launch cruises, Honister Slate Mine, Whinlatter Forest’s cycle trails and the heritage houses of Mirehouse and Dalemain. After a day exploring, return to your patio to watch the last light fade behind the fells.
