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

A great apartment for a weekend break

Really enjoyed our stay at Gretaside. The location is excellent. The apartment is small (as expected) but very comfortable. Parking was straightforward. Would definitely stay here for a few days again.

We’re delighted you’d choose to stay again and would be very happy to welcome you back for another few days in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

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.

What a great location!

The kitchen and bathroom are extremely well appointed, but shame about the kitchen window surround which needs some work. Small apartment but big enough for a couple (who need to be fit enough for the steps to the second floor!). The mattress was rather firm for my taste, but it was a delight to hear the river gurgling by outside the bedroom window with a lovely view over the park and Latrigg. Needs a little TLC and maybe a little more attention to nooks and crannies. Over all - a great place to stay with the town only minutes away.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 July 2026
Hi there! Thank you for your detailed and balanced review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the apartment’s location, the beautiful views over the park and towards Latrigg, and the sound of the river flowing by — it really is a special setting. It’s also wonderful to know that the kitchen and bathroom stood out and that you found the apartment a good size for a couple. Thank you as well for your constructive feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding the kitchen window surround and the areas that could benefit from a little extra attention and TLC. Feedback like this is always helpful, and we’ll ensure it is passed on to the owner for consideration. We understand that mattress comfort is very much a personal preference, but we appreciate you sharing your thoughts. And, as you’ve highlighted, the apartment is situated on the upper floor, so the stairs are worth bearing in mind for guests with mobility concerns. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay overall and found it a great base, with the town centre just a few minutes away. We’d be very happy to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

We’d be very happy to welcome you back for another stay. 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 there! Thank you so much for your review — and for choosing to return to Gretaside for a second stay. We're delighted to hear you continue to enjoy the fantastic town-centre location, the secure parking, and of course the lovely sound of the river from the bedroom window. It's great to know the kitchen had everything you needed and that you found the lounge area comfortable. Thank you as well for highlighting the stairs, which are worth bearing in mind for guests with mobility concerns or heavy luggage. We appreciate your comments regarding the storage and mattress. Comfort is always a matter of personal preference, but it's helpful to receive this feedback. For clarity, the property is advertised for a maximum occupancy of two guests and the sofa is not intended for use as a sofa bed. We were particularly disappointed to read that the cleanliness did not meet the standard you experienced during your previous stay. We pride ourselves on maintaining high standards across all our properties, so we will be passing your comments on to our housekeeping team for review. Thank you again for your feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed another stay overall and hope to welcome you back to Gretaside again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Small apartment in a great location. Unfortunately our stay was spoilt by black mould on the bedroom wall with a really strong smell of damp. Pity as it could be so much better with some TLC.

A fantastic Festive Stay!

We stayed over Christmas at Gretaside and the added touches of the Christmas tree and decorations alongside a Christmas card really made us feel welcome! The property was clean and had everything we needed during our stay, the location is perfect for exploring Keswick by foot! The view from the bedroom can’t be beaten! The shower could be upgraded very low water pressure but apart from that the property has been decorated and modernised recently. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Our happy place

This is our 4th stay at Gretaside, and it was excellent as usual. The position of the flat is excellent for going off walking all day, returning home either via the chip shop for a lazy night in, or coming home, getting changed and going for a night out in Keswick. Unfortunately there is a slight issue with a leaky kitchen window, which has got worse since our last visit, but it doesn’t spoil our stay, or put us off returning, but it does look a little unsightly. But we have stayed in other properties around Keswick (including another flat in the Gretaside block) and this is by far the best flat. Can’t wait to return.

Enjoying Keswick the right way

Our stay at Gretaside was super convenient. The flat has just everything a couple needs and is situated right next to a cosy river. Very romantic!
Response from VrboOwner on 2 July 2025
Hi Eduard, Thank you for taking the time to review Gretaside. This cosy flat is perfect for couples and having the river right outside is certainly romantic. It's so close to town while still being in a quiet area so not far to go when you want to go exploring. We hope we can welcome you back to Keswick soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.
