Excellent allround
We stayed here two years ago and were pleased with it then. The kitchen has been upgraded since then. There is no washing machine or bath and it is a very compact apartment but has everything in that two people would need. It has an excellent location near Fitz Park and the centre of Keswick. It is on the third floor and there are 4 flights of stairs to climb to get to it which might be problematic for some people. Keswick Cottages have now got an online app which acts as a guide to their accommodation which was very good and are as helpful as they have always been. For us Gretaside has now become our first choice of accommodation if visiting Keswick. A really enjoyable visit and stay with Keswick Cottages – again.

Hi, Alan! We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay, and that you're even more in love with Gretaside than you were a few years ago! We're always on top of maintenance and upgrades for our properties, and we love to see returning guests appreciate this. We can't wait to welcome you again to Gretaside soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

4 night stay in September 2025
This was our second stay at Gretaside and I have to say that the weather blessed us yet again ! The central location was very suitable to us as we have a dog, just around the corner from the park for morning and evening walks. Everything in the apartment was clean and little extra's left for us in the new updated kitchen was very welcome.

Hi Veronica, Thank you for your review. Gretaside is in a central but quiet location making it perfect for exploring Keswick. Nearby Fitz Park is perfect for dog walks or for catching a game of cricket in the summer. I hope you had a fantastic stay and that we can welcome you back again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Holiday
Very central position. Added bonus was parking outside property. Flat is quite small but adequate for a short break as a couple with small dog. Only real gripe we were unable to use one wardrobe as vacuum cleaner was stored in wardrobe.

Hi Ian, Thank you for your review. Gretaside's central location make it the perfect base for exploring Keswick. Fitz Park is close by and is perfect for letting your pooch have a good run around. We hope you had lovely holiday. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Clean modern great location
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.
