About this property

Gretaside - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

The warm and welcoming lounge has a Smart TV, comfortable sofa, easy chair, and dining table with views 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 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. Complimentary WiFi is provided. Access to the flat is via open balconies and stairs.

4 day stay in Keswick mid September
We had a fabulous few days at Gretaside the weather was hot and sunny the whole stay. The apartment was comfortable, quiet and well equipped, a stones throw from the centre of Keswick and the location near to the park was a bonus for us as we have a dog. A small cosy apartment suitable for a couple and dog. We would be happy to stay here again.

Few days away in Keswick
The dog and I had a very pleasant stay in the flat that is on the top floor. This overlooks the river and Fitz park, great for walking the dog first thing and last thing at night. It was lovely and peaceful and very handy for the town and Derwent Water. The shower is not very powerful but otherwise but otherwise everything else is very comfortable.

Great location
This is a very comfortable apartment situated in a great location, very convenient for the town centre yet tucked away in a quiet corner overlooking the river. It's quite small but fine for a couple. Got a good night's sleep as it was so quiet and peaceful. Nice to be able to go out and walk along by the river.

Great Location and View
Small but very nice 1 bedroom apartment. Bedroom is a bit cramped for two, but overflow can go in the living room! Bed is quite firm, but good. Kitchen is well appointed and functional. When turning on shower use a firm pull on the switch cord.

Our short break in Keswick
The apartment was excellent. Very clean and comfortable and the location for the town was great as just a few minutes walk. Also, we have a dog and the location of Fitz Park (behind the apartment) was great and again only a few minutes walk. I would highly recommend this for a couple.

Gretaside
2nd time of staying here, a small but comfortable flat, dog friendly and a parking space for the car. The view out of the bedroom window over the river and Fitz park is fantastic. Ideal for 2 people who do not need a lot of room and fairly fit as it is on the top floor. It is clean and well equipped. Very close to the town Center and amenities. We love it and hopefully will stay again sometime soon.

Great location and spotlessly clean
Gretaside is in a marvellous location, we parked up and didn't use the car again as everything is accessible by foot. The apartment is smaller than it appears on the pictures, but it is very well appointed and so clean and tidy, for 2 people and a dog, it was perfect. The only criticism we had is that we found the bed to be very uncomfortable, it is very hard, and by the second day my back was painful, so much so that we decided not to stay on our third night and drove home earlier than planned. The mattress is extremely firm and hard, and it didn't suit us at all, it spoiled what would have been the perfect stay.

Lovely stay in Keswick
The apartment is in a fantastic location adjacent to Fitz Park and also the town centre. This made the holiday! It is actually much smaller than it looks on the photos but is well appointed. Two floors up but that didn’t bother us. Although dog friendly, it was completely carpeted apart from the tiny kitchen which is not ideal for a dog friendly place in the Lake District in February. Consequently we thought the living room carpet seemed a bit grubby. Hard floors would be much more appropriate. The bed was a bit hard for us but that is personal taste. We would stay there again.

Little Gem in central Keswick
Gretaside is a lovely little apartment with parking in central Keswick. It’s homely, warm and very well situated. It’s lovely to hear the sound of the river whilst drifting off to sleep. We had a great weekend here and would highly recommend both the property and Keswick Cottages.

Short stay at Gretaside
We stayed here for 3 nights in November. The location is excellent, central to Keswick, with excellent private parking included. The property is small but big enough for our needs. And is well decorated throughout. It was very clean and well looked after and I look forward to staying here again in the future as long as they don’t increase their prices. Would defiantly recommend to any couple looking for a small convenient place to stay in Keswick. The place we stayed was on the second floor so would not suit anyone who maybe couldn’t manage two flights of stairs.

Perfect Keswick base with no parking worries.
We made a last minute booking for our Golden Wedding Anniversary and had a lovely holiday. It is compact, but well designed and we look forward to coming again.

Gretaside - just perfect
Compact and bijou but with everything we needed for our 4 night stay in Keswick :-) A cosy space for the two of us with the space put creatively to use. The apartment is in a lovely quiet location with parking and a short walk from the town. Great views from the bedroom over Fitz Park to Latrigg Fell and the River Greta bubbling away soothingly underneath our bedroom window was just lovely. Thank you for the Welcome Pack too ! We would definitely stay here again

A nice stay
Our only slight issue was that the wifi was very spotty. This made it difficult to do work or enjoy FaceTime conversations with family.

Great Break
The apartment met our needs perfectly. It was in a great location and we enjoyed exploring Keswick and the surrounding area. The kitchen is small if you’re planning on cooking but it didn’t concern me as I refuse to cook on holiday! It was good to have parking in the town although we didn’t use the car once we’d arrived. Would definitely book again.

Great location
We stayed for a week at Gretaside. A lovely little apartment for two and our dog. The bedroom is very small however, the space has been put to good use to ensure wardrobe and drawer space. Excellent location - we only used the car once during our stay as we were able to walk everyday from the apartment. Nice to have Fitz Park on the doorstep for early morning dog walks. It would be nice to have a bench or seats outside like the adjacent apartment does - we were envious of their ability to catch the sun whilst enjoying a drink!
