Central To Keswick
The automated booking process and informational emails was excellent. The flat itself is on the 2nd floor of the building so not for anyone with severe mobility issues. A few signs of ageing with broken rendering outside and signs of damp in the kitchen window. Small and neat kitchen, small lounge, modern bathroom, and small bedroom. Only 1 toilet roll supplied which could be improved. The bedroom had wardrobes either side of the bed which are a bit restrictive, would have preferred bedside cabinets but as lack of space, the wardrobes had to go somewhere. The bed was not to our liking, but may be to others. Situated on the edge of the town centre allows for easy walking to all the facilities including restaurants, bars and 2 brewery taps. We were lucky with the weather when there so did not need to rely on having to use the flat much. Bonus of having a car parking space. Where on the small size if thats all you need then a good choice of accommodation.

Hi there! Thank you for your detailed and balanced review. We’re really pleased to hear you found the booking process and pre?arrival communication excellent — that’s exactly what we aim to provide to make things as smooth as possible from the start. It’s great to know the central location worked well for you, with easy access to shops, restaurants, bars, and local breweries, as well as the added bonus of having a parking space. Thank you as well for your helpful observations about the apartment itself. We appreciate you highlighting both the positives and areas for improvement, including the exterior condition, kitchen window, layout, and furnishings. As with all of our properties, these are owned individually, but we will pass your comments on to the owner for their review. In terms of provisions, we do provide a starter supply of toilet roll, with guests expected to purchase more as needed during their stay, but we appreciate your feedback on this. We also understand that comfort, particularly with beds and layout, can be very personal, so thank you for sharing your perspective as it helps future guests make informed choices. We’re pleased you were able to make the most of the good weather during your visit and that, overall, the property suited your needs. Thank you again for taking the time to provide such constructive feedback, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Ideal location
Ideally situated for bus network, restaurants, walks, and shops. Great that there was a designated parking space. For us not the most comfortable bed, but that is personal. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Very comfortable flat
Very comfortable and well located flat in the centre of Keswick, with parking. Located on the second floor, so some people might find that to be a problem.

Hi, Patrick! Thank you for your lovely review. We’re really pleased to hear you found Gretaside comfortable and so well located right in the centre of Keswick, with the added benefit of parking. Thank you as well for mentioning the stairs. As you say, being on the second floor may not suit everyone, so it’s helpful for future guests to be aware when choosing the property. We’re delighted you had an enjoyable stay and would be very happy to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Good bathroom, nice living room. Location very handy. Bed was comfortable. Place was cosy and heating easy to use. Outside the bedroom window a beautiful narrow river flowing past, a beautiful sound. Kitchen facilities were great. A number of other places had failed to provide a simple spatula to cook with but our facilities there were great for that, there was a spatula and lots of other stuff including a new pack of cleaning items. Also a welcome pack of assorted biscuits. The staff did not bother us about checking out, meaning they did not barge in before we had left which had happened at other places so the staff at greta side knew we were there and knew their job. The company are local which to me was a factor as they understand their clients and the area. An excellent place and wonderful stay so thank you for that.

Excellent location in Keswick, well maintained small property would be ideal for a couple to stay, pet friendly and good onsite parking included. The property was very clean and well presented. The rooms are small but adequate for our 3 night stay. Would recommend to anyone as long as they can manage two flights of stairs. Am looking forward to staying here again in the future.
