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.

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.

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!

Enjoying Keswick the right way
Our stay at Gretaside was super convenient. The flat has just everything a couple needs and is situated right next to a cosy river. Very romantic!

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.

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.

Perfect Base for a Relaxing Week in the Lakes
A fantastic week’s stay again at Gretaside Apartment in Keswick. The apartment was spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable — it felt like a real home-from-home. The bed was especially comfy after long days walking, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches and a well-stocked kitchen.
The location is ideal — just a short walk into the centre of Keswick, but in a quiet and peaceful spot with beautiful views of the surrounding fells. We had no problem with parking, and it was a great base for exploring the Lake District.
Communication with the host was excellent — everything was clear and easy from booking to check-in.
Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a cosy, convenient place to stay in Keswick.

Hi David,
Thank you for your review. Gretaside overlooking Fitz Park is a cosy apartment and is handily close to the town centre and all it's shops and restaurants. There is a brewery just around the corner from the apartment where you can enjoy locally brewed ales on their terrace or in their bar. We hope we can welcome you back again soon.

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.

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.
