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.

Great location for a mini break away. Very short walk to town centre for shops, pubs/restaurants etc. amazing proximity to the lake, short drive if you would like to tackle Scafell Pike. Nice size apartment on second floor for two people and a dog

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!

Holiday

Very central position. Added bonus was parking outside property. Flat is quite small but adequate for a short break as a couple with small dog. Only real gripe we were unable to use one wardrobe as vacuum cleaner was stored in wardrobe.

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.

lovely cottage in centre of Keswick

The booking process was easy. The info provided by Keswick Cottages regarding location, parking and key entry was all clear and easy to understand. The Gretaside accommodation was clean and well presented and everything in it was a high standard. The welcome pack and dog treats were a lovely touch. Its a very central property but also nice and quiet, only the sound of the river babbling away in the background. I'd happily book with Keswick Cottages again or recommend to friends.

Brilliant experience

We had a short but very enjoyable stay in this excellent accommodation. Keswick was amazing and we also explored Ambleside and took the boat down Windermere to Bowness. On the two brief occasions I spoke to staff they were professional, proficient and very personable and, need I say it, helpful. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

4 day stay in Keswick mid September

We had a fabulous few days at Gretaside the weather was hot and sunny the whole stay. The apartment was comfortable, quiet and well equipped, a stones throw from the centre of Keswick and the location near to the park was a bonus for us as we have a dog. A small cosy apartment suitable for a couple and dog. We would be happy to stay here again.

Great location

This is a very comfortable apartment situated in a great location, very convenient for the town centre yet tucked away in a quiet corner overlooking the river. It's quite small but fine for a couple. Got a good night's sleep as it was so quiet and peaceful. Nice to be able to go out and walk along by the river.
