Holiday visit
Have been to these apartments a few times as the location is great just a short walk to the town, the apartment had everything you need and very clean, it's lovely to hear the river, the mattress was a bit too hard for us but that is personal choice, will be going again

Neat little place in town.
The flat is well presented and in a good location. The welcome packs were a nice touch. Having your own parking space was helpful and it being next to fitz park and the river was nice. We would have liked to have an ironing board and iron. The bed was a little small and the pillows could do with being more firm. But it didn't ruin our stay. It was a good place overall and we would stay again. Thank you to everyone involved

Thank you, Paul, for your review of Gretaside. We're pleased you had an enjoyable stay and appreciated the thoughtful welcome touches. Thank you also for your constructive feedback regarding the ironing facilities, bed, and pillows, which we'll pass on for consideration. We hope you had the opportunity to make the most of the riverside walks and everything Keswick has to offer, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Gretaside is a perfect place to stay close to the centre of Keswick overlooking the park at the rear
This was our second stay at Gretaside and we love the convenience of the town centre location and the sound of the river from the bedroom window. Also a bonus to have private secure parking. It is a top floor apartment so 3 sets of stairs to get your luggage up could be a challenge for some. The apartment had a well set up small kitchen with everything we needed. The bed is on the hard side and we brought our own topper to soften it. Wardrobe space is limited especially as the hoover is stored in one, which is not ideal. The lounge area is comfortable and has a small dining table. Sofa can be used as a sofa bed if required. TV set up for streaming services. Bathroom shower works well once you get the temperature settings to your liking. Our only disappointed was with the cleanliness on this visit which was not to the standard of our first visit.

Hi Steven, Thank you for taking the time to review Gretaside. It is always a pleasure to welcome back returning guests! We are sorry to hear that the cleanliness wasn't up to our usual high standards on this occasion. We know how important cleanliness is for a comfortable stay. Our office is just up the road from the apartment and we would have been more than happy to come round and resolve any issues. Your comments have been passed on to the housekeeping manager so further training can be carried out with the cleaner who looks after the property. I hope that we can welcome you back to Gretaside again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Excellent location in the centre of Keswick, easy access to the shops, lake and walks. Private gated parking was appreciated. The apartment was lovely - clean, cosy and had all the essentials to make it an easy stay.

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.
