Guests say
2 Greta Side Court is a compact, well-located cottage in Keswick, ideal for couples or small groups seeking easy access to the town centre and beautiful riverside views. Guests consistently praise its proximity to shops, restaurants, and walking trails, as well as the bonus of off-street parking and a balcony overlooking the river. While the property is generally well-equipped, some guests note areas needing a little TLC, such as cleaning, maintenance, and comfort improvements. Overall, it offers a convenient and enjoyable base for exploring Keswick and the Lake District.
Cleanliness is generally acceptable, with several guests finding the property clean on arrival. However, multiple reviews mention issues such as dust, cobwebs, mould, and bedding concerns, indicating inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving the proximity to Keswick town centre, Fitz Park, and the river. The peaceful setting and easy access to amenities and walking trails are standout features.
Comfort is mixed; many guests find the flat cosy and suitable for two, but others mention small spaces, uncomfortable sofas, old pillows, and occasional noise. The property is best suited for couples rather than larger groups.
Facilities are generally good, with well-equipped kitchens and parking appreciated. Some guests note missing basics (like hairdryers, instructions, or kitchen items), dated appliances, and maintenance issues such as heating and water pressure.
Some guests mention nice touches and prompt responses to issues, but there are also reports of missing bedding, towels, and lack of basic self-catering items. No gifts are mentioned, and such gestures cannot be guaranteed.

The apartment was well located, within 5 mins from Moot Hall. It was well equipped with everything we needed. Perfect for 2 would probably be a little tight for space if there was 4.

Overall a good location with amenities within easy reach and good value for money apartment. Other people have said it is in need of some TLC but with it being so popular when are the owners supposed to rectify this? Could make a few suggestions like instructions for electrical items and a larger duvet for the small double bed but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and would certainly book again.

Very dirty outside the flat. Inside could have done with a good clean. Dining chairs were not very good and we eat in most of the time. We would have liked a pouffe. Very good location. Some of the equipment needed updating. Verandah was very nice. We stay in for our meals but if you go out more it would be more suitable. Shower was good. We would stay again because of the location and it being ground floor.
