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.

Short Break
Gretaside was a new to me accommodation as I usually stay in regular self catering apartments. As an ex self catering owner always have a critical eye, needn’t have worried.
An absolutely lovely comfortable apartment with everything you need. Clean and modern and an absolutely lovely view of the river and fells beyond from the bedroom, really comfortable bed. Great location with parking two mins walk into town centre.

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.

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.

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.

Few days away in Keswick
The dog and I had a very pleasant stay in the flat that is on the top floor. This overlooks the river and Fitz park, great for walking the dog first thing and last thing at night. It was lovely and peaceful and very handy for the town and Derwent Water.
The shower is not very powerful but otherwise but otherwise everything else is very comfortable.

Gretaside, Keswick
Apartment was expected to be compact but photos were cleverly taken to give the impression of more space. However, it was in a clean condition.
Bedroom had a narrow wardrobe either side of the bed, the left hand one was half filled with a vacuum cleaner! No room really to swing a cat.
Kitchen was new and cleverly laid out to make the most of the limited space.
Lounge had a round dining table which was taking up space and blocked access to the limited electric sockets.
Bathroom was fine but the water pressure a bit low from the electric shower.
Walls were thin and noise and voices can be heard from neighbouring apartments.
Main issue experienced was some type of humming extractor type noise coming from ceiling area above kitchen and bathroom. This was reported to Keswick Cottages on our second day as the noise was severely disrupting sleep.

Little Gem in central Keswick
Gretaside is a lovely little apartment with parking in central Keswick. It’s homely, warm and very well situated. It’s lovely to hear the sound of the river whilst drifting off to sleep. We had a great weekend here and would highly recommend both the property and Keswick Cottages.

Great Location and View
Small but very nice 1 bedroom apartment. Bedroom is a bit cramped for two, but overflow can go in the living room! Bed is quite firm, but good. Kitchen is well appointed and functional. When turning on shower use a firm pull on the switch cord.

Gretaside
2nd time of staying here, a small but comfortable flat, dog friendly and a parking space for the car. The view out of the bedroom window over the river and Fitz park is fantastic. Ideal for 2 people who do not need a lot of room and fairly fit as it is on the top floor. It is clean and well equipped. Very close to the town Center and amenities. We love it and hopefully will stay again sometime soon.

A nice stay
Our only slight issue was that the wifi was very spotty. This made it difficult to do work or enjoy FaceTime conversations with family.

Gretaside - just perfect
Compact and bijou but with everything we needed for our 4 night stay in Keswick :-)
A cosy space for the two of us with the space put creatively to use. The apartment is in a lovely quiet location with parking and a short walk from the town.
Great views from the bedroom over Fitz Park to Latrigg Fell and the River Greta bubbling away soothingly underneath our bedroom window was just lovely.
Thank you for the Welcome Pack too !
We would definitely stay here again
