“Lovely Clean property, great location, will definitely book again”

- Michael, November 2024
Philip August 2024

“A very clean and tidy home at which we had a wonderful week.”

Perfect situation by the Greta river and just a few minutes walk into Keswick centre. Couple of very slight niggles in the kitchen; the washing machine outer door rattles badly when it is on; and the lower side of the fridge door gets very hot when the oven is on.

“Lovely apartment, couldn’t fault anything.”

Great views and central location. Allocated car park space a bonus. Would definitely book again.

- Thomas, June 2024
Doreen April 2024

“Have stayed in Riverside on a few occasions, last time 2020, standard as good as before and delighted to return.”

Very minor request would be a sharp knife though this did not affect our stay! It was a lovely touch to have milk, tea and coffee, crisps, jam and cake provided. Thank you

- Doreen, April 2024
Sara March 2024

“Gorgeous apartment and in a great spot.”

- Sara, March 2024
Beverley March 2024

“Stayed four times now & will stay again.”

Sofa could do with an upgrade, but apart from that, perfect.

- Beverley, March 2024
Judith February 2024

“Lovely modern apartment very conveniently situated in Keswick with the added bonus of a parking space.”

We were very comfortable at Riverside Park 2 and hopefully would return.

- Judith, February 2024
Maria December 2023

“Home from home, looking forward to our return trip this year.”

Decorated beautifully at Christmas with an added bonus of a hamper. The icing on the cake was your own parking space however we didn’t use our car as you are only a couple of minutes away from the centre.

- Maria, December 2023
Helen November 2023

“Fabulous place and mostly great.”

...however....some things need replacing now. We've stayed here many times and appreciate that things that started off comfortable will deteriorate with the constant use they get. So, just as helpful feedback, the river side bed mattress no longer has good support, nor does the sofa if you're in for the evening. Kitchen facilities work well for self catering and new frying pans would be helpful. The Shark vacuum was very useful to enhance floor and sofa clean-up when we arrived....better not to have needed it of course. Lovely place to come back to after superb walking in the area and great views across the river to Fitz park and the fells beyond. Parking is a real bonus, thanks.

- Helen, November 2023
Martin October 2023

“Great property we have stayed in Riverside Appartment 2 twice this year and once in Appartment 4.”

Will be looking to book again during next year.

- Martin, October 2023
Maxine October 2023

“This is such a lovely, comfortable apartment with a great view.”

The welcome pack is a smashing treat at the start of a holiday and very much appreciated. Only two points to raise: A non slip shower mat would be useful (we bought one and left it behind so it can hopefully be washed and used by future guests), and the kitchen is a bit lacking utensil-wise. A set of sharp knives would be a great addition plus some kitchen scissors, a fish slice and a draining spoon. We reckon that’s all that’s needed to make it perfect - and we’ll definitely be coming back.

“Few problems with cleaning Shower heads dirty Under bed needed cleaning very dusty and dirty”

- Karyl, September 2023
Nilofer August 2023

“Caretaker accessible on the phone and helpful.”

Kitchen was equipped extremely well. As I have only stayed in self catering properties in the past 15 years, this compliment is huge coming from me.

- Nilofer, August 2023
Kenneth July 2023

“Ideally located apartment in the centre of Keswick with beautiful views of the river and across to the park.”

Immacukately clean, well equipped and spacious. Two good sized bedrooms, each with own bathroom and king sized beds. Although we didn't have a dog with us it is dog friendly.

- Kenneth, July 2023
Ian March 2023

“Excellent property.”

..spotless...many thanks for the extras you laid on..it really was appreciated

- Ian, March 2023
Paul February 2023

“Having stayed at Riverside Park on several occasions it was a pleasant surprise to find the apartment had undergone a refurbishment.”

The new decor and look has really lifted what was becoming a little tired. Excellent facilities with a great location plus dedicated parking in the middle of Keswick, what’s not to like. Highly recommended.

- Paul, February 2023
Phil October 2022

“Excellent stay in a lovely apartment.”

Warm, clean and a great location easy walking distance to Keswick centre. Literally a 5min walk. Also 5 mins the other way and you are picking up one of the many local trails. Lovely view over the river and Fitz Park from the lounge area. Would recommend and we will book again in future.

- Phil, October 2022
Scott October 2022

“I have stayed a number of times and again the apartment was well presented and allowed us to have a very comfortable stay in Keswick.”

One minor problem was rectified very quickly for us.

- Scott, October 2022
Rebecca September 2022

“I do like these apartments and have stayed in others, however I did have an issue with the internet in this apartment, it would work in living room but not in bedrooms.”

The apartment is looking a bit tired too, blinds didn’t work etc, just need a bit of updating I feel. No bin bags and a few items missing in kitchen for cooking. No instructions to use oven and microwave apart from booklets, one of which wasn’t in English. No TVs in bedrooms which I would have liked and very few channels on main TV. I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t return but there are other properties now more modernised and with better facilities for the same price bracket so I would look around. Property owner was ok in dealing with issues, did resolve or try to resolve them.

- Rebecca, September 2022
Sharon August 2022

“Lovely apartment with a semi rural feel while being in the center of town, highly recommend.”

- Sharon, August 2022
Gary July 2022

“Excellent property, lovely and clean in an excellent location.”

A plum cake and refreshment was a welcoming touch after a long journey. Would highly recommend

- Gary, July 2022
Sheila June 2022

“The apartment is lovely and very well equipped.”

Everything was spotless. The only negative is the parking. We had difficulty getting into our allotted space due to the people in apartment 3 having to park sideways on due to the bins. The bins were overflowing because the refuse collectors couldn’t get access because of how the cars were parked. An idea would be to pay for a permit for apartment 3.

- Sheila, June 2022
Oliver May 2022

“Thanks for a wonderful holiday.”

The apartment was perfect and Keswick lovely to explore.

- Oliver, May 2022
Scott April 2022

“I think both showers in the property need upgrading as the water flow is low in power.”

The shower screen in the main bathroom leaks

- Scott, April 2022
Ian March 2022

“Stayed here before twice and also at No1 and No4.”

..excellent...cant beat it

- Ian, March 2022
Colin January 2022

“Lovely, warm comfortable and convenient.”

Will always book number 1 or 2, dog friendly. Home from home for us !

- Colin, January 2022
Simon October 2021

“Loved the apartment - great location and very comfortable.”

One of two things could do with updating, broken zips on sofa cushions etc. Overall,, however, this did not detract from our stay which was very enjoyable.

- Simon, October 2021
John October 2021

“Second trip to this apartment.”

.Top location within the town. Spacious yet cosy. Nice open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area Car parking a huge advantage in an expensive public car park area. One little point of annoyance however was that I found that the microwave was out of action early the previous week but we had to wait till Monday evening till a replacement arrived. Disappointing but not a deal breaker.

- John, October 2021
Vicki October 2021

“The location of the apartment was excellent with lovely views along the river and over the park.”

In general, the standard of the accommodation was good and the apartment was clean and cosy, but there were a few issues we encountered which were disappointing and need to be resolved - the microwave wasn't working and, despite reporting it, this wasn't fixed during our stay; there is a good quality Nespresso coffee machine but you cannot buy the pods for it in Keswick so it was unusable; there was no cutlery basket in the dishwasher; one of the kitchen cupboard doors was broken; the pans were poor quality; the en-suite bedroom had a damp/musty smell and the shower tray was marked and discoloured. We reported these issues directly to Heart of the Lakes early on in our stay and hope they are addressed for future guests. Our other issue was that, as we were 2 couples holidaying together, there were no parking permits available for our second car. We had been told that it was possible to buy a weekly pass at the nearby car park but this proved not to be the case and the 24 hour day rate to park there was £11.60 per day which we felt was an expensive additional cost given the cost of the apartment.

- Vicki, October 2021
Helen October 2021

“We've been to this spacious, well equipped apartment several years running.”

It's in a great setting in Keswick with lovely views across the river and park. Sadly now, some elements could clearly do with a refresh to maintain the former standard.
