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.

Found the apartment to be excellent, so peaceful with lovely views of the river and park. It was to a very high standard and definitely will go back .

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.

Apartment was tiny needed abit of updating and a thorough clean everywhere location was good would not recommend
4.8
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.

Provided an excellent base for our stay in Keswick. Very handy for the town and the surrounding areas.

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.

We have stayed here twice now because we love the location near the park and our dog is welcome! The flat has everything we need. We will be back again

Gretaside is in a marvellous location, we parked up and didn't use the car again as everything is accessible by foot. The apartment is smaller than it appears on the pictures, but it is very well appointed and so clean and tidy, for 2 people and a dog, it was perfect.
The only criticism we had is that we found the bed to be very uncomfortable, it is very hard, and by the second day my back was painful, so much so that we decided not to stay on our third night and drove home earlier than planned. The mattress is extremely firm and hard, and it didn't suit us at all, it spoiled what would have been the perfect stay.

The apartment is in a fantastic location adjacent to Fitz Park and also the town centre. This made the holiday! It is actually much smaller than it looks on the photos but is well appointed. Two floors up but that didn’t bother us. Although dog friendly, it was completely carpeted apart from the tiny kitchen which is not ideal for a dog friendly place in the Lake District in February. Consequently we thought the living room carpet seemed a bit grubby. Hard floors would be much more appropriate. The bed was a bit hard for us but that is personal taste. We would stay there again.

Amazing place located on the very edge of town perfect for all the shops and pubs, very quite and homely, we would highly recommend this place and would definitely book again.

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.

We stayed here for 3 nights in November.
The location is excellent, central to Keswick, with excellent private parking included.
The property is small but big enough for our needs. And is well decorated throughout.
It was very clean and well looked after and I look forward to staying here again in the future as long as they don’t increase their prices. Would defiantly recommend to any couple looking for a small convenient place to stay in Keswick.
The place we stayed was on the second floor so would not suit anyone who maybe couldn’t manage two flights of stairs.

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.
4.8
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

Our only slight issue was that the wifi was very spotty. This made it difficult to do work or enjoy FaceTime conversations with family.
4.8
A small tidy flat but sufficiently big enough for two in a cosy bed.
Great location with spacious parking. Definitely recommend.

Excellent central location but nice and quiet . Small but perfect for 2 people. We could leave the car and walk everywhere we needed
4.8
The apartment met our needs perfectly. It was in a great location and we enjoyed exploring Keswick and the surrounding area. The kitchen is small if you’re planning on cooking but it didn’t concern me as I refuse to cook on holiday! It was good to have parking in the town although we didn’t use the car once we’d arrived. Would definitely book again.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Wifi worked well with our smart speaker and TV stick. Great location minutes from centre of Keswick.

We stayed for a week at Gretaside. A lovely little apartment for two and our dog. The bedroom is very small however, the space has been put to good use to ensure wardrobe and drawer space. Excellent location - we only used the car once during our stay as we were able to walk everyday from the apartment. Nice to have Fitz Park on the doorstep for early morning dog walks. It would be nice to have a bench or seats outside like the adjacent apartment does - we were envious of their ability to catch the sun whilst enjoying a drink!

Had a 4 day break in this very cosy and comfortable apartment. It was small but perfect for the two of us and our golden retriever. The view out of the bedroom window overlooks Fitz park and the mountains beyond. There seemed o be plenty of drawer space and hanging space in the wardrobes. Could not fault this apartment in anyway, ideal size for the two of us and will look to stay there again

This was a lovely place to stay and very clean. It's v central to everything and very close to the Greta and Fitz Park (which provides the view out of the window). It's compact but very comfy with and well-equipped kitchen (it's small but has everything). Good communication with Keswick Cottages.
4.8
A small, neat and tidy property ideally located on the edge of Keswick centre. Parking included, which is a bonus compared to some other offerings in Keswick.
Good communication throughout from Keswick Cottages and a simple check in/out process.
Would definitely use this company (and property!) again.

Good holiday. Comfortable and clean. Well-equipped kitchen. Beautiful bathroom. Only one minor grumble - mattress was quite hard.
4.8
Cosy apartment right on the bank of river Greta which was lovely to hear at night going to sleep.
Apartment was clean and although on the smaller side, there was nothing lacking. Bathroom was particularly nice as looked like it had been done not too long ago.
Really good location as 5 minutes to town centre but it's off a main road so it's quiet and peaceful.
It was up 3 flights of stairs which meant there was a lovely view out both front and back windows as it overlooked Fitz park and some beautiful neighbouring gardens.
Would reccomend this property to anyone.

Bedding
Lovely flat with the location, quiet and parking we were looking for.
We left a note at the cottage re the smoke alarm, remote needing batteries and cobweb - not as a criticism but to make the management aware.
we did struggle with the bedding. We had contacted Keswick Cottages to ask for ligthweight bedding and if possible a fan bearing in mind the weather forecast. We were told that that wouldn't happen. I really think someone should have thought about how a medium weight duvet would be in a heatwave. while it is rare I would suggest thought is given to this especially as there is no alterntative/spare bedding stored in the flat (understandably because of lack of storage).
4.8
Relaxing stay
The apartment is ideal for a stay in the Keswick area. It's only 5 minutes walk into town or to the park,15 minutes walk to the lake , it's in a quiet area with beautiful views from the bedroom window . The apartment has everything you need for a relaxing break.on site parking is a bonus . We definitely would come back to stay. Thank you.

Excellent location
Excellent location and parking in central Keswick. The view of the hills and river from the bedroom window made the stay even more enjoyable.
4.8
Comfortable apartment in convenient location on the banks of the River Greta.
This second floor property, though small can comfortably accommodate two people. It is comfortable, well equipped with everything in good condition. The compact size means that there is not a lot of storage and drying wet clothes or equipment would be difficult. The onsite parking is a bonus as the apartment is very convenient for the centre of Keswick.
4.8
River Greta
The appartement is tiny but comfortable with a very practical kitchen. River Greta flowing below the bedroom windows makes you sleep well.
If you like fell walking you will have trouble storing your gear, especially when it is raining and your gear is soaking wet.
Overall we had a pleasant stay, with town centre and other shops nearby. Don’t forget to take a stroll through Fitz Park.
Notice:
- shower doors do not close properly
- shower drainage seems blocked
