Acerca de este alojamiento

Greta Howe is a superb first floor apartment in what was formerly the Keswick School Of Industrial A

A large spiral stone steps lead to the first floor veranda, looking out across the River Derwent to the stunning skyline of Latrigg and Skiddaw and the world famous former Cumberland Pencil Mill. The front door opens to the bright, airy and spacious open plan living area. This incredible space is quite unique with its high vaulted ceiling with impressive wooden beams. Comfortable sofas and armchairs are arranged around the feature fireplace with gas stove. A couple of step lead to the elevated, bespoke, fitted kitchen, that overlooks the living area with range cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. To the side the large family dining table is set into the bay window, with views over the lower roof to the northern fells.

Choose from one of three welcoming bedrooms all with their own Smart TV. To the front is the spacious dual aspect master bedroom with superking bed and views to Skiddaw. A further double bedroom with king bed and a twin bedroom are situated further to the rear of the property. The bedrooms are complemented by a feature bathroom with an elegant rolltop bath where you can relax after a day on the fells and enjoy the view to the hills beyond, a large walk in shower cubicle, basing and WC. Off the landing is a smart shower room with shower cubicle, basin and WC.

This stunning apartment has high vaulted ceilings, beautiful picture windows, an immense amount of character and offers very high quality accommodation just a few minutes walk from Keswick’s bustling market square, with it’s wonderful selection of local shops, bars, restaurants and cafes.

With easy access to walks of all standards, from gentle low level walks beside the river, or following the old railway line across the valley, to the high level walks to Skiddaw or the towering peaks of the north Lakes, excitement on two wheels on the tracks through Whinlatter Forst or waterborne adventures on Derwentwater, Greta Howe offers first class accommodation for friends or families whatever the time of year.

A comfortable and well-appointed oasis of luxury. Everything needed to feel at home whilst being away.

Hi, Andrew! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Greta Howe felt like a true oasis during your stay. The cottage is designed to make time away feel effortless, from the spacious open?plan living area to the well?equipped kitchen and the peaceful bedrooms that help guests unwind after a day exploring Keswick. Its location, just a short stroll from the town centre and with walks from the doorstep, is something many guests love, so it’s wonderful to know it helped make your visit special too. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back whenever you’re next in the Lakes. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely Property, great location!

Greta Howe is a lovely property in a perfect location. Just a small tip for future guests, I’d avoid putting the washing machine on before bed, as when it goes into the spin cycle the vibrations travel through the property and can wake you up. We’d definitely consider booking again. The staff at Keswick Cottages were superb as well, I phoned them twice before our visit and they were really helpful both times. Thankyou.

Hi Elliott, Thank you for your review. Greta Howe is the perfect base for a break in the Lakes. It is only a short walk in to the town centre where you are spoiled for choice for places to eat and drink. There are lots of walks you can do right from the doorstep and the bus stop is only a 5 minute walk away if you want to travel further afield with the hassle of taking your car. We hope we can welcome you back again soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Loved it!!

Much bigger than it looked in photos, this was the best place we have stayed in Keswick! We stayed here while working at the Mountain Festival but can't wait to come back again with the family for a non working holiday. The accommodation had so much space, we loved staying here and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying in Keswick.

Lovely stay in Greta Howe

We had a great stay in this holiday home. The location was great - quiet, plenty of parking available and a short walk into town. The apartment was well equipped and comfortable. The shower in the main bathroom was incredible! Would recommend without hesitation.

Comfortable property with open plan living

The property is ideally located for walks from the door but also trips to pub on an evening. All 3 bedrooms are spacious and two good bathrooms with showers. The open plan living space has lots of room for large families. Lots of space for parking.

Great base with luxury feel

I stayed midweek in November for three nights with a Friend. I chose the location in case the weather came in as it was near main roads. The communication was brilliant but we were left alone to enjoy our stay in peace. The place is very well done, and comfortable. Although there were only two of us, it would be big enough for 6 without being on top of each other. The gas fire was very welcomed after a day out on the fells. We were lucky that we have snow up on skiddaw which you can walk to from the door, and catbells too. Would definitely stay again, as it was so clean and homely. If I had to be picky the large bedroom was chilly compared to the rest of the place but I left the door open to the main area to get some heat in there, but that is only to be real picky, it’s still a 10/10

Perfect getaway accommodation

This is our second stay in Greta Howe. We have stayed in Keswick many times and this has become our favourite accommodation. Everything about it is excellent. We love the quirky interior and the history of the place. The layout really works, it’s cosy and comfortable. Everything you need is provided. The location is ideal.

Greta Howe

Greta Howe was clean, well decorated and everything worked. It is just 5 minutes from the supermarkets, pubs and restaurants and the bus station which is very useful for us as we only travel around the Lake District by bus. The secondary glazing eliminates the road traffic noise. Views of Latrig and Skiddaw from the balcony. Highly recommended. .

Thank you for review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Greta Howe. It is an ideally located property with fabulous views of the fells. It's great that you have been able to take advantage of the bus service to see the surrounding area and we hope that you enjoyed exploring and seeing what the Lake District has to offer. We hope to be able to welcome you back in the future! Best wishes Keswick Cottages

Really lovely place

The flat was really stunning - very different, and everything was excellent quality. Great location if you want to be in the centre but with views - quite a rare thing especially given the cost. There is a lot of history as it was 'Keswick School of Industrial Art" and if you google that you get an excellent photo of what the room looked like 100 years ago.
Respuesta de VrboOwner el 26 de abr de 2024
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are so happy you found it to a high standard and beautiful. We agree that the views are lovely and Greta Howe is situated perfectly to explore Keswick. It was formerly the Keswick School Of Industrial Art that was opened in 1894 by Canon Rawnsley, one of the founders of the National Trust and which led the way in the Arts and Crafts movement. Fascinating history! We hope you had an amazing time and we hope to welcome you back again. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Thank you so much for your review! We are sorry you had noisy plumbing, if we knew about this we would have sent our maintenance team round to investigate. We are so happy you liked the large family room and dining area. Having a TV in every bedroom is a great feature. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you again.

Wow! What a beautiful surprise!

We had an amazing stay at Greta Howe, the space is enormous but so cozy and unique, full of charm and all modernised. We loved the space! The underfloor heating in the bathroom was a luxury. Communication was easy for all our stay and we were welcomed by a bottle of fizz and biscuits. We had a couple of rainy days so we enjoyed the space and cooked in the bespoke kitchen. We had a great time and we would love to come back soon, thank you so much for having us on such a short notice!

Great Property

We had a lovely stay in this holiday property. It was very spacious, had great facilities, and having the town within a few minutes walking distance was perfect. It would have been helpful to have some instructions on how to use the gas fire, as that wasn't included on the tablet. Also, when we arrived, I think the heating had only just been turned on as it was quite chilly and took a while to heat up as the room is very large. I would definitely book again if we were in this area.

Great property and location

Great property to stay in and lovely views of the hills. Very comfortable and spacious with everything you need. I had brought some "extras" - like hairdryer and kitchen equipment going by previous reviews but didn't need to as owners had obviously read and responded to previous comments. We are regular visitors to Keswick so knew location (2 min walk to start of shops etc) - which was perfect as other family were with us. The grandkids loved going down to mess about at the river - supervised of course! The cafe below was currently closed so had place to ourselves. Could do with some better seating on the balcony (we brought some ourselves). Highly recommend this property. Would visit it again.

Lovely apartment, needs much better maintenance. It is NOT a cheap option.

We had issues with cooker - resolved - shower which was partly resolved, and a general lack of maintenance. There were no oven trays and a poor selection of saucepans. Wallpaper was falling from the small bathroom ceiling and was re-stuck with sellotape.!! The shower head was broken resulting in water spurting all over the bathroom floor and the shower door would not close. Despite these considerable problems which really should have been spotted and resolved before we arrived, we enjoyed our stay in this historic building. It was annoying to be told by Keswick cottages staff that the owner was responsible for maintenance and then to be told by the owner that it was the job of Keswick cottages. Also if there is an inventory, where is it? It is a shame that these problems nearly spoiled a much anticipated break.
