Great stay in Keswick

Comfy and cosy stay at Greta cottage. We visited during a cold November month and the cottage was perfect base for walks and then relaxing by the fire.

Keswick Mountain Festival with the family

Loved the property. Was very well equipped and the beds were fresh, clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were nice and plenty of hot water for 6 peoples baths and showers. Would definitely stay again.

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.

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. .

Excellent Accommodation

Accommodation newly decorated. Everything you could need and pristine condition. Parking easy access at front of property for the lager vehicle. Few minutes walk into town centre for shops, cafe, pubs etc. Highly recommend.

Excellent Location

Better information needed regarding parking. Noisy plumbing. Showers seems to be limited one only at once. Good size family room and eating area. TV in all rooms.

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 location

Great location close to all the amities in Keswick, good parking, beginning to need some TLC in places but we would come back if we need a larger apartment in the future.

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.

8/10 Good

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.

Perfect

A wonderful, spacious clean property in a perfect location for local shops etc. The only thing that would be useful is clearer info about what to do when leaving I.e. do we strip beds.

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.

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.

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.

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.
