“Lovely property, particularly downstairs, upstairs is more basic.”

There was a problem with some of us getting in and out of the bath which sits high and shower doors limit access a bit. We could have done with an extra hand towel in the downstairs loo. There is an issue with the bin as along with previous guests we arrived to the bin being rammed full. We had to take some of our rubbish home.

There was a problem with some of us getting in and out of the bath which sits high and shower doors limit access a bit. We could have done with an extra hand towel in the downstairs loo. There is an issue with the bin as along with previous guests we arrived to the bin being rammed full. We had to take some of our rubbish home. Many of these points would be easily resolved to make this a really perfect property as it is well equipped, has a great location and off street parking and a beautiful spacious open plan downstairs with a stunning patio with bi fold doors which would be perfect in the summer.

“We were very impressed with the property.”

Clean and comfortable. Felt really spacious and had everything we would need

- Kelly, September 2024
Peter September 2024

“A beautiful property in a great location, very well presented and generously equipped.”

We loved our week, the great weather also helped. The property is spacious with a lovely garden and great views. We only ate out once as the dinning area is a great place to eat and chill. We used to live in Cockermouth for 34 years and Keswick is one of our favourite places. It was nice to come back and visit after moving away from the area and to see old friends - the house and stay made for a perfect week. We will look to come back again next Spring.

Beverley August 2024

“An amazing property only 5 minutes walk into Keswick.”

Fully equipped with everything you need. Being able to park 2 cars off road was a bonus. Beds extremely comfortable, well thought out property, would definitely book this property again.

Timothy August 2024

“Really good property, with close access to Keswick.”

Pros: - Modern kitchen and dining area, with open plan - Great bifold windows - Good toilets and shower - Lovely garden, really well maintained Cons: - For a place in the Lakes, a bigger airing rack is needed to dry clothes - Install an outside washing line to air clothes - Have an ironing board. There's no point just having an iron - Lake lovers should do more to keep a few bin liners, hand wash in each toilet, and more tea towels. There was one tea towel to dry and none of the other above products. A customer should not have to spend a lot of money for a week's stay and then buy bin liners. A few could at least be added for the beginning of the week - Upstairs curtain poles are loose, to the point of breaking off. They need replastetring and securing. - Bit more colour/pictures to the upstairs bedrooms

Jane July 2024

“This was our second stay at Greengarth.”

It is a lovely property in a quiet location but easy walking distance to town. The garden is a good size and enclosed, perfect for our dog. The kitchen is well equipped (though we always eat out or or bring in a takeaway). It is good to have off road parking too. It provides everything we need for a week of walking in the Lakes and we have already booked for next year.

- Jane, July 2024
Edward May 2024

“In general absolutely loved it, best cottage we have stayed at in the Lakes and we will definitely come back.”

Love the Herdy crockery! I am already badgering my wife to rebook. Only one small point to mention, there is a lot of mould in the silicone around the bath below the wall tiles. Could do with cleaning or replacing. Thank you and please pass on our thanks to the owners for a lovely stay.

- Edward, May 2024
Karina May 2024

“We have been coming to Keswick for the last 30+ years and have stayed in many houses.”

But this house has been the best on location, comfort and facilities. The garden was secure for the dogs and the bi-fold doors in the kitchen really make this property so special! We enjoyed it so much we have already booked for next year. Thank you!

- Karina, May 2024
Janice April 2024

“Greengarth is a lovely well equipped house with beautiful bi-fold doors out to a rear garden with a view of Skiddaw.”

It is within walking distance of the square in Keswick. Beautiful home from home we will return soon.

Julie February 2024

“Greengarth is a lovely spacious property , we really enjoyed our time there, it has everything you need for a great holiday.”

Particularly enjoyed eating breakfast with a view of Skiddaw! Situated in a quiet cul de sac but in close proximity to the centre of Keswick and walks straight from the door. We have already booked to return next year!

- Julie, February 2024
Cassie February 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Greengarth which is easy to find, has good parking and is very conveniently located.”

The house was well-equipped and very warm - we forgot to bring logs for the fire but we didn’t need it. There was a cleaning pack but no teabags etc provided, which we were aware of from previous reviews so didn’t cause an issue. The garden was just right for our dog and will be lovely once all the bulbs are out. We would definitely stay here again.

- Cassie, February 2024
Joanne January 2024

“Lovely spacious property in excellent location.”

Good sized off road parking space. Nicely equipped and decorated throughout. Comfortable beds, plenty of fresh, generously sized bath towels. Enclosed garden great for dogs. Beautiful views. Only minor disappointment is that this is first property where we have not been greeted with a small basic welcome pack - a few tea bags/coffee and milk plus a starter pack of kindling and logs would be a nice additional touch.

- Joanne, January 2024
Stuart October 2023

“Excellent holiday cottage.”

We can’t wait to return. Thanks

Lorraine October 2023

“We’ve just returned home from another wonderful week in Keswick.”

Greengarth is a beautiful, well appointed property with modern furnishings, comfortable beds and a great shower. There is a neat enclosed garden to the rear which was perfect for our two small dogs and a lovely patio area to sit out, directly off the kitchen / dining area. It wasn’t cold enough to use the log burning stove this week but can imagine this would be a great feature during the colder months. We loved the location which was quiet and a short walk to Fitz Park and the town centre.

- Lorraine, October 2023
Alan October 2023

“We have holidayed at Greengarth 16 times and have three weeks booked for next year already .”

We love this house. Comfort , cleanliness and a beautiful garden . Love the off road parking too and it’s position in Keswick close to amenities.

- Gail, September 2023
Gail August 2023

“Fabulous well equipped house .”

Already booked for 2024 x 3 weeks . Had 4 weeks this year . Off road parking , great garden and ideally situated near to shops and bars and lake. Love the Bi fold doors in summer. Always spotlessly clean . Comfortable beds . Couldn’t ask for more .

- Gail, August 2023
Mark August 2023

“We had a great week at Greengarth, The property has everything you need and is only a short 10min walk into the centre of Keswick.”

The bi-folding doors and the garden are great for the warm days and our dog loved it. The bin men were on strike whilst we stayed so the bins didn't get emptied. I reported this to Lakelovers so they could hopefully get this sorted before the next guests arrived. I would recommend this property and would look to return in the future.

- Mark, August 2023
Jane August 2023

“The property was in an excellent location and the view at the back was to die for!”

The kitchen was well equipped but much of the crockery, cutlery and utensils were grubby. My husband discovered that the top drawer of the dishwasher was too low so the rotating arm was unable to spin. We raised the top drawer and so the dishwasher worked better and cleaned things properly. The lounge was comfortable but poorly lit if you wanted to read in the evenings. The bathrooms were good, the shower was great although it was pretty hard to turn the temperature down and reading through the guest book this has been mentioned before. The beds were comfortable but the bedroom furniture was lacking and not particularly functional. When we arrived, we were unable to get in to our property as there was some garden maintenance being done. There was no notification of this but we were able to get in to the property about 10 -15 minutes later.

- Jane, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the views! We will ask the Maintenance Team to look into the dishwasher, and the shower. Thank you- The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Gail July 2023

“Love this house booked it four times for this year and have been before approximately 12 times .”

Have booked one week for next year up to know. Spotless well done to cleaning team. Well appointed. Great location. Dog friendly. Off street parking a bonus too. Beds comfortable. Love the garden , gets the sun all day when weather is good. Could do with a draining rack for cups and plates as we accidentally broke two glasses which fell off the draining board. Will definitely return .

- Gail, July 2023
Paul June 2023

“My partner found the larger front bedroom bed abit hard to sleep on,personally l found the area abit noisy with children screaming and playing,got woke up Sunday morning with kids hitting a ball onto metal garage doors directly opposite the property using some sort of ball bouncing net,just for me took the edge off a lovely property.”

- Paul, June 2023
Gail June 2023

“We book this cottage four times a year , lovely place to stay .”

Beds comfortable. Garden is a sun trap . Love the bi fold door’s especially in summer. We had amazing weather so sat out a lot. Off road parking and five minute walk to shops and eateries. House is well stocked and has every thing you need in the kitchen . We could have done with a fan the week we stayed but weather was unusually hot 31 and 29 degrees all week.

- Gail, June 2023
Claire June 2023

“Overall we had a fantastic week at Greengarth, surprisingly quiet location despite being a short walk into town, we walked in view the riverside path, which was lovely, and great to have a couple of no car days.”

The garden was great sitting and relaxing, and letting the dogs roam free safely is such a bonus, some reviews said neighbours rude, but we found them very welcomingand friendly and always stopped for a chat wheneverwe saw them. The only points we did have is that it could do with a deep clean, skirting boards and banister were a grubby, and some utensils could doing with being replaced, such as the can opener and scissors, and unfortunately the bins were collected on the day mentioned, so they were left full for the next guests. But these are only minor points, We will definitely be staying again.

- Claire, June 2023

Nicola March 2023

“We’ve stayed at Greengarth several times now.”

Although we love the cottage, we felt it is in need of a little tlc. Small things such as a decent set of utensils e.g. vegetable peeler, tin opener etc are required. There is a good range of kitchen crockery. Some small things like tea towels, kitchen towel, dish sponge etc weren’t provided. No coal or wood to start you off with the wood burner was provided. The outdoor furniture hasn’t been covered during winter and so the cushions have gone moody and are unusable. The patio is mossy and dangerous to walk on, it needs jet spraying to clean it and the garden needs a good tidy. Some paint coming off bedroom wall. Deep clean throughout needed. With a bit of attention Greengarth could be brought back to the lovely place it always has been.

- Nicola, March 2023
Alan March 2023

Philip January 2023

“Absolutely loved the place.”

So warm, the underfloor heating is amazing. Needs were clean and comfortable and the front bedroom zip bed is massive. The view from that window is to die for. Great facilities, you've supplied everything we needed and I see that you've responded to requests for equipment people have put in the visitors book - a very good sign. The views are superb through the bi-fold doors in the extension. We will definitely be back.

Tracy December 2022

“We enjoyed our stay at Greengarh, loved the open plan layout with great views through the bifold doors.”

The one complaint is we couldn’t use the washer/dryer. Lake lovers contacted us on the day we arrived to tell us not to use the the washer/dryer as the door was broken. The new part had been ordered on next day delivery and they’d fit it as soon it arrives. We were there six nights and it still hadn’t been repaired by the time we left. Overall pretty poor customer service.

- Tracy, December 2022
Ann-marie November 2022

“Really good location.”

Property nice a spacious for walking coats and boots etc. Property was nice and clean and had good facilitiessuch as dishwasher and washing machine. Would be helpful if there was at least some salt, pepper, vinegar, sugar in the house. Buying these becomes expensive when you only need a small amount. Bathroom is very dark and bath is very high. It wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. A shower mat in the bath would be helpful as can be slippy. Otherwise Property was lovely and would definitely recommend to family and friends.

- Ann-marie, November 2022
Martin November 2022

“Very nice house, the super king double in the front bedroom was really comfortable, plenty of hot water as well.”

Just a couple of things, storage in the bedrooms was limited, they seemed to have bought furniture for one room and spread it over two, there was room in the front bedroom for a chest of drawers/dressing table but just had a wardrobe, the back bedroom had that but no wardrobe, the small bedroom had neither! Log burner but no starter pack (I have stayed in places where this is supplied). They ask you to leave the property clean but there are no cleaning supplies (one nearly empty bottle of some sort of anti bacterial stuff under the kitchen sink). There were some loose dishwater tablets left. I have been self catering in the Lakes and various other places for years, this is the first place I have been that there is literally nothing left there for you! Also the drier on the washer dryer isn’t working properly, you might want to get that looked at, everything was coming out hot and wet!

- Martin, November 2022
Denise October 2022

“Have stayed at Greengarth 5 times and again had an enjoyable comfortable warm stay despite a bad start having to clear 7piles of dog mess left on garden and having to report broken toilet seat (which was replaced during the stay ).”

However left feeling a little disappointed this visit, I feel that soft furnishings could do with an update as have been the same for at least 6 years , also a little alarmed on removing bed linen on departure to find pillow and mattress protectors stained , instructions were not to remove them ,surely these should also be removed and replaced after each visit . No cleaning products to use either , maybe some of these issues could be resolved with better housekeeping especially since COVID

- Denise, October 2022
Sue October 2022

“The property was well equipped with crockery and cutlery etc, and was clean.”

A convenient location for town, nice back garden with a great view of Skiddaw. A second bedside table would have been nice and more drawer space in the main (front) bedroom. We’ve stayed in many holiday lets and a welcome pack is usually included, so a little disappointed not to find any little treats waiting for us!

- Sue, October 2022
Sue September 2022

“Our first visit to this cottage and we really enjoyed it.”

Everything was very comfortable except for the pillows which weren't at all comfortable. The cottage is in a very quiet area yet only a few minutes walk into Keswick. It is a lovely bright property particularly the open plan downstairs area. Plenty of space to eat and relax. We look forward to returning here.

Debra June 2022

“We had a lovely fortnight at Greengarth.”

The house and garden are well equipped. The bifold doors into the garden were welcome when the sun shone. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking at home. The property has two toilets which is very handy for a family. There were some negatives. Next door are renovating their property and we had to remind him to stop hammering and drilling at 10 in the evening. He was very friendly and helpful but we had to ask him twice. The fridge was very poor at cooling and we had to have it on the lowest setting. The pillows were hard and heavy and the duvet in the back bedroom was too high a tog rating for me. It would be useful to have two sofas but can understand that it might spoil the layout.

“Our 3rd visit to Greengarth - absolutely love the place so close to Keswick centre, great parking, a very dog friendly back garden and everything you need in the house for a 2 week stay, and the view out the back still has the wow factor even after our 3rd visit.”

“It was wonderful, proper home from home experience, with a well equipped kitchen, everything you need and more to have a really enjoyable and comfortable stay.”

The bi fold doors are amazing, it created a lovely dining experience. The neighbours are also very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, a short stroll into Keswick town centre and literally 15 minutes to reach Derwent waters by foot. I would highly recommend to others and will be rebooking again ourselves for next year! Thank you!

- Gemma, July 2021
Helen June 2021

“Our 2nd visit to Greengarth, absolutely marvelous place, so close to Keswick town, private parking and a great back garden for the dogs.”

We did have issues with the bins again put out the 1st week not collected, put out the 2nd week and they went this time - but reading the visitors book this seems to be a on going issues. Also we went for 2 weeks and last time we stayed we had someone who changed all the bedding and changed the towels over in the middle of the stay, that did not happen this time but that may be due to Covid regulations? But Greengarth iself you could not wish for more warm , comfortable, breathtaking views out the back, everything you need in one house for a fantastic stay.

“Greengarth is a wonderful well equipped and comfortable holiday home.”

Five minutes walk to Keswick town centre , parking for two cars off at a bonus too. We had a lovely week there. Very clean . Love the bifold doors onto the garden which gets the sun all day. Can’t wait to return in august .

- Gail, May 2021
Sarah April 2021

“I would definitely recommend a stay at Greengarth when visiting Keswick.”

It is only a short walk to town, but benefits from being lovely and quiet with fantastic views of Skiddaw from the dining table, something we never tired of each meal time! The cottage has been stylishly renovated, was spotless and very well equipped with everything we needed. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. All in all a fantastic week in the Lakes!

Andrew December 2020

“Property was decorated for Xmas, nice touch.”

Decor really great, loved the log burner. A few things that either need attention or would be an improvement: Porch light not working properly, flashing. Please list what you provide so we know what to bring with us, e.g. washing powder and dishwasher tabs. Process to get door code did not work as it was tied into Sykes cottages site, person we rang on the day didn’t understand this and just had to give us the code over the phone. Happy to speak to you about this is easier.
