A great apartment for a weekend break

Really enjoyed our stay at Gretaside. The location is excellent. The apartment is small (as expected) but very comfortable. Parking was straightforward. Would definitely stay here for a few days again.

Very comfortable flat

Very comfortable and well located flat in the centre of Keswick, with parking. Located on the second floor, so some people might find that to be a problem.

Absolutely perfect for 2 people and our dog. Very modern, comfortable and clean. Car parking at the front and 5 mins walk to centre of Keswick.

What a great location!

The kitchen and bathroom are extremely well appointed, but shame about the kitchen window surround which needs some work. Small apartment but big enough for a couple (who need to be fit enough for the steps to the second floor!). The mattress was rather firm for my taste, but it was a delight to hear the river gurgling by outside the bedroom window with a lovely view over the park and Latrigg. Needs a little TLC and maybe a little more attention to nooks and crannies. Over all - a great place to stay with the town only minutes away.

Great location

Small apartment in a great location. Unfortunately our stay was spoilt by black mould on the bedroom wall with a really strong smell of damp. Pity as it could be so much better with some TLC.

Stay at 8 Gretaside

Having previously stayed in various other properties in this block, this was the second time in this one. Our previous stay in here was quite a few years ago. The kitchen has had a recent upgrade with new appliances fitted. Unfortunately we were unable to use the induction hob and no literature was available. I visited the Keswick Cottages office and was helped by one of the staff who came back to the flat and managed to sort the problem and even printed the operation instructions for me which I inserted in the information file in the flat.

A fantastic Festive Stay!

We stayed over Christmas at Gretaside and the added touches of the Christmas tree and decorations alongside a Christmas card really made us feel welcome! The property was clean and had everything we needed during our stay, the location is perfect for exploring Keswick by foot! The view from the bedroom can’t be beaten! The shower could be upgraded very low water pressure but apart from that the property has been decorated and modernised recently. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Perfect Keswick base with no parking worries.

We made a last minute booking for our Golden Wedding Anniversary and had a lovely holiday. It is compact, but well designed and we look forward to coming again.

Our happy place

This is our 4th stay at Gretaside, and it was excellent as usual. The position of the flat is excellent for going off walking all day, returning home either via the chip shop for a lazy night in, or coming home, getting changed and going for a night out in Keswick. Unfortunately there is a slight issue with a leaky kitchen window, which has got worse since our last visit, but it doesn’t spoil our stay, or put us off returning, but it does look a little unsightly. But we have stayed in other properties around Keswick (including another flat in the Gretaside block) and this is by far the best flat. Can’t wait to return.

Gretaside is a perfect place to stay close to the centre of Keswick overlooking the park at the rear

This was our second stay at Gretaside and we love the convenience of the town centre location and the sound of the river from the bedroom window. Also a bonus to have private secure parking. It is a top floor apartment so 3 sets of stairs to get your luggage up could be a challenge for some. The apartment had a well set up small kitchen with everything we needed. The bed is on the hard side and we brought our own topper to soften it. Wardrobe space is limited especially as the hoover is stored in one, which is not ideal. The lounge area is comfortable and has a small dining table. Sofa can be used as a sofa bed if required. TV set up for streaming services. Bathroom shower works well once you get the temperature settings to your liking. Our only disappointed was with the cleanliness on this visit which was not to the standard of our first visit.

Our short break in Keswick

The apartment was excellent. Very clean and comfortable and the location for the town was great as just a few minutes walk. Also, we have a dog and the location of Fitz Park (behind the apartment) was great and again only a few minutes walk. I would highly recommend this for a couple.
