Description

As you enter this warm and welcoming apartment you will find yourself in the comfortable lounge with two seater sofa, Smart TV, easy chair, and dining table. There are lovely views from this room across Keswick facing south west for the afternoon and evening sun.

The kitchen may be compact but is well equipped for your holiday. A small hallway gives access to the newly refurbished shower room. The east facing bedroom dressed with luxury linen and towels has beautiful views across the river Greta and Fitz park. The delightful sound of the river running past the building can be heard through the open bedroom window.

This modern apartment makes the perfect base for two, with easy access to explore all Keswick and the surrounding area has to offer. It would be easy to park up and enjoy a car-free holiday with fantastic walks and the vibrant town centre pubs, shops, parks and restaurants only minutes from the doorstep.

Keswick offers plenty of options to keep you occupied during your stay. For walkers the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trial which starts next to the Keswick Leisure centre is a 5 kilometre (10 kilometre there and back) walk along what was once a railway track. It offers beautiful views and is a multi-user trial suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. If you fancy something with a little more elevation and spectacular views, Latrigg and Walla Crag can be reached from your doorstep, and you can even tick off some Wainwrights! 10 minutes out of Keswick is Whinlatter forest, which offers a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities.

Keswick itself offers lots of amenities, from shops to cafés, pubs to theatres, you will be spoilt for choice.

Gretaside, Keswick
Apartment was expected to be compact but photos were cleverly taken to give the impression of more space. However, it was in a clean condition. Bedroom had a narrow wardrobe either side of the bed, the left hand one was half filled with a vacuum cleaner! No room really to swing a cat. Kitchen was new and cleverly laid out to make the most of the limited space. Lounge had a round dining table which was taking up space and blocked access to the limited electric sockets. Bathroom was fine but the water pressure a bit low from the electric shower. Walls were thin and noise and voices can be heard from neighbouring apartments. Main issue experienced was some type of humming extractor type noise coming from ceiling area above kitchen and bathroom. This was reported to Keswick Cottages on our second day as the noise was severely disrupting sleep.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Gretaside. This is one of our smaller one bedroom properties, but the apartment is a convenient base for 2 people who would like amenities on the doorstep and lovely river views. The owner has just had the kitchen fully refurbished. It is a shame that the property wasn't quite right for you, we are a small local agency and know our properties inside out, so please never hesitate to contact us to discuss your requirements and we will be happy to suggest some suitable properties for your next holiday. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Short Break
Gretaside was a new to me accommodation as I usually stay in regular self catering apartments. As an ex self catering owner always have a critical eye, needn't have worried. An absolutely lovely comfortable apartment with everything you need. Clean and modern and an absolutely lovely view of the river and fells beyond from the bedroom, really comfortable bed. Great location with parking two mins walk into town centre.

Thank you so much for your lovely 5* review, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Gretaside! Praise indeed considering your background, your feedback means a lot to us. Gretaside offers some beautiful views and has all the amenities Keswick has to offer on the doorstep. We hope to welcome you back in the future! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

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.
