Another lovely week at Greta Bank

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Greta Bank. It's clean, comfortable, quiet and convenient for shops, center of Keswick, and excellent parking. We also appreciate its proximity to bus stops. It's a pleasure to come back to this holiday let. The 2 bathrooms suit my husband and myself as he needs a walk in shower, and I need a soak in a warm bath after walking the hills. Looking forward to another visit!

Another great stay

This was our second stay a Greta Bank. The flat was clean and had everything you need for a great stay. We traveled with my elderly mum this time and the flat is perfectly positioned for all that Keswick has to offer. The weather was good so it was an added bonus of being able to open the French doors and enjoy the small garden. The only tiny let down were the sofas.They are getting a little uncomfortable, so we were pleased when we found the bolster cushions that had been left.

Easter break at Greta Bank

Great week in Keswick, lovely apartment, I would definitely stay here again! Location is perfect for Booths, eating in the town centre and accessing the lake. The apartment was well equipped, comfy beds and very clean throughout. We have stayed on this complex before and the apartment layout was by far the best. The large hallway made it feel spacious, and the patio area was great for fresh air and drying wetsuits.

Perfect location

Greta Bank is a lovely home in a perfect location. Handy for all the local amenities in Keswick and just round the corner from the bus station. Greta Bank has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Hope to return soon.

Great property in perfect location.

Really nice flat which can accommodate 4 adults. Fully equipped kitchen and appliances. Couple of things need to be addressed such as broken kitchen tap, main bedroom blinds and window locks.

A great stay.

Greta Bank is in a good quiet central location,you can park and not drive for your whole break.It is clean,well presented and has all you might require.The one quibble is the electric en-suite shower though functional could really do with upgrading to provide some power. We have enjoyed two stays and hope to return, which in itself is recommendation. It is always a pleasure to deal with Keswick Cottages.

A pleasant stay in Greta Bank.,

We, two old people and our middle-aged son, enjoyed staying in Greta Bank for a week very much. The sitting room was especially delightful - the decor pleasing and the view from the window of the birds in the garden superb. Our beds were very comfortable. We liked the new tablet in the hall that gave us greetings and messages as appropriate. Location was excellent. It was good being able to look out at countryside while also being able to walk to Booths supermarket in just a few minutes and into Keswick centre too in a short time.

Easter stay

We’ve stayed in Greta Bank many times before. We return as it is in a great location for local amenities and for walking. If you feed the birds, there are lots of pheasants, ducks, small garden birds and a tiny bank vole. The flat is warm, clean and comfortable. The allocated parking has improved since last time we were here! There was a small issue with the boiler, which Keswick Cottages resolved within the hour…great service. A lovely flat in a lovely town. We’ll be back.

Great apartment near all amenities

Well decorated/maintained apartment with its own spacious parking space and within walking distance to the bus station and Booths supermaket. Very quiet bearing in mind how close it was to everything. Really comfortable bed/lounge area, kitchen a little small but with all facilities including welcome pack of tea/milk/biscuits and washing pack. Outside seating area quite small and had wooden table/chairs which were hard to keep dry so suggest changing to plastic.Great for watching the birds feeding on the wall so take some bird seed. We even had a male and two female partridges visit us within 3ft of where we were sitting inside the lounge. We would definately stay here again.

Christmas in Keswick

We have stayed in Keswick Cottages properties many many times and in Greta Bank several times. All good. However the seating in the lounge is now a bit dated and not very comfortable, especially for older customers. The light over the sink in the en suite does not work. We did report this a couple of visits ago.

We will return!

Excellent in all respects - very comfortable ( especially the bed!) and absolutely immaculate when we arrived. High quality towels and bed linen and good internet connection. Very well equipped - difficult to think of anything which wasn't provided and the service in dealing with a couple of problems, which were nobody's fault, could not have been more prompt - someone came out on Sunday evening to attend to a heating problem. Ideal setting, being only a few minutes from one of the best supermarkets in the country, Booths, and from the bus station. Perhaps marginally more expensive than an equivalent apartment we've used, but that one gave a two person discount, so comparisons are not really relevant. Anyway, we've already booked it again for next year! The only minor drawback I can see, although as there are only two of us it doesn't really apply, is that four people might struggle to sit round the dining- table! Looking forward already to our next stay.

Greta Bank stay 19-26 April 2024

Excellent. Very convenient for supermarket and buses. Great views. Luxury to have 2 bathrooms. Hot water pressure to main bath low so needs adjusting. One light bulb in hallway flickered so we removed it and left a note. Perhaps spares could be left. Beds very comfortable but pillows all too soft; maybe a few firmer pillows would be good so people could choose. These are not criticisms, just possible slight improvements. We truly enjoyed it. Thank you.

Lovely break

We have stayed here many times, the apartment has always been warm, comfortable, well presented and in a great location. The only reason for a couple of 4's in the review is: we think that the same sofa has been in place for quite some time and is becoming uncomfortable; and the apartment has an increasing number of scuff marks so seems ready for some re-decoration.

Another lovely week at Greta Bank. Plenty visits from the local wildlife.

We have stayed in this property a number of times. One of its many advantages is the private parking space and the ease of access to shops and public transport. The kitchen, and indeed the whole property is well equipped and well maintained. If there are any problems the staff are very helpful. A useful addition this year were the booster cushions. Very handy for anyone with hip or knee problems.

Clean, roomy flat in a convenient location with parking.

Comfortable roomy ground floor flat really close to Booths, and handy for Keswick centre and the lake, but in a quiet development. Convenient parking space close to the flat. We visited in a heat wave, and the flat was beautifully cool. Loved the little patio with wildlife visiting for food and water, including pheasants, ducks, chaffinches and blackbirds. Had to watch out for bird muck though! Very comfy bed, and good facilities in the kitchen. 2 lovely shower/bath rooms. We would definitely stay here again.

Good quiet spot very close to town

Quiet apartment tucked away and feels quite private but also very close to town. Well appointed, warm and comfortable with convenient private parking for one car. (Parking for extra cars relies on public car parks and they are expensive - worth exploring a monthly pass if you need an extra space for more than 2 days).

Nice compact property

Lovely ground floor apartment just 5 minutes walk from Keswick centre with parking for one car. Kitchen well equipped, comfortable beds and very clean. Perhaps only downside was the fact that the two sofas in the lounge were low and not very comfortable. That apart however would recommend as a base for four people.
