Comments on Greta Bank
Absolutely super, immaculately maintained apartment. We had been once before and had no hesitation about going again. We went in early November both times, and found it warm, comfortable - especially the large bed! - and very well equipped. It is ideally situated, being very convenient for the town centre and only a few minutes walk to both the excellent Booth's supermarket and the bus station. While we were there the central heating boiler failed one day, which we reported right away, and in just over half an hour an engineer arrived to attend to it. Brilliant service from a friendly, helpful staff. As we have nothing to compare it to really, I am unable to comment usefully on the "value for money", I can only say that we are more than happy to pay it, as it seems reasonable for the quality of the accommodation provided. Needless to say, we hope to be able to go again!

Hello, Brian! Wow, what a lovely review for Greta Bank! This has really made us smile. We hope you enjoyed your holiday. We don't mean to blow our own trumpets, but we do always strive to provide the best customer service for the best properties, and we're proud to be such a friendly and happy team! Greta Bank has a lot of wonderful features that we love to take advantage of, and always recommend guests make the most of. My personal favourites are the coal-effect fire, Smart TV, and, of course, the views across the riverbank onto the fells. We hope you get to visit again soon! We're looking forward to it just as much as you are. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Definitely recommended
A great choice of accommodation for a stay in Keswick. Spacious, comfortable, very well-equipped and near to all amenities in Keswick. AND of course the benefit of a parking space. A quiet location with the benefit of the nearby river and wildlife. We particularly enjoyed the morning visits by the pheasants. Only one negative point, easily remedied. The taps in the bathroom handbasin had black gunge hanging off them and had to be cleaned before being used. The rest of the cottage was immaculate.

Hello, Lynn! We're pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Greta Bank! It's amazing to hear that you got to see the pheasants-- the flora and fauna are really something to behold, and Greta Bank is perfectly located to sneak a peek at the surrounding wildlife through the french patio doors, and to fall asleep to the sounds of the river. Parking is always a bonus, especially in Keswick! We take great pride in our housekeeping, and as well as a member of the housekeeping team, a member of our office team visits every property prior to check-in to ensure that the properties are up to the standard we expect on arrival, so we're very disappointed to hear that we may have missed the mark this time! We hope you'll stay with us again, and trust that a member of our dedicated team is always on call to answer any queries or rectify any hiccups you may encounter. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Quiet and central
This is the second time that we have stayed at Greta Bank. It is in a convenient location close to the bus station and Booths for shopping. It is useful for us that it is all on one floor, the ground floor so you don't have to carry your bags far. The apartment is very clean and well stocked with crockery and cutlery and feels spacious. It is very quiet even though it is centrally situated and the beds are comfortable. The one car parking space is very generous and easy to access even with a large car, we always leave the car parked up and use the buses. We also love feeding the birds that visit the garden. If we come back to Keswick, we will always choose this particular apartment.

Hi Janet, Thank you for your review. Greta Bank is in a great location, close to the shops and the town centre and very handy for catching a bus on the days you wish to travel further afield but without the hassle of taking your car. We hope you had a fantastic holiday and we hope we can welcome you back again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

It was just brilliant, the children loved it here. There was everything we needed. My husband especially love the visiting pheasants in the garden. Beds were super comfortable, if a little squeaky.
Groceries nearby and close to the old town center. 2 bathrooms, eletric fireplace to warm living room and 2 sets of sofas for everyone to enjoy the evenings comfortably.
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.
