Grisedale View

This property is an absolute gem.

It was spotlessly clean, really spacious and well equipped. Bed was very comfortable too. The terrace was lovely to sit out on in the evenings and we even managed to eat outside on the table as the weather was beautiful. The garden and summer house is so private and peaceful. We enjoyed relaxing here with a book. I would definitely return here. It provided a wonderful space to relax, soak up the good weather and views and switch off from a busy life! Its location is only a 10-15 minute walk into Keswick along the old railway track too. Thank you for a lovely stay!

One word "stunning".

The cottage (very comfortable and clean) the views the position all perfect. Pictures don't do it justice. Has everything you need and more, even a set of scales :-) Use of the EV charger made travelling stress free, no planning or searching for chargers, really made a difference to our time away. Grisedale View - highly recommended ☆☆☆☆☆ Missing it already - Julie & Bob

Loved our stay, accommodation was so big, comfortable and had everything we needed including incredible views!

So much storage space, including in the kitchen which was a big bonus for us when staying a week and cooking most nights. Washing machine and dryer also a big bonus. No problem with parking on site, hardly used the car though as easy to walk into Keswick and beyond. Pleased to have recycling bins which you often don't get. Host was quick to respond to queries & super helpful. Will definitely be booking again.

Another lovely stay at Grisedale View.

Excellent accommodation, highly recommended.

Lovely cottage stay for my birthday weekend!

Had everything we needed and perfect space for our 3 month old too! Would recommend adding some more plug outlets, we had a couple things we needed to plug in for an our little one and didn’t find many sockets. Parking was not as bad as it looked but the bins made it more difficult than it needed to be. Also one last thing! A better outside light so you can see where you are parking at night. Those are the only little pointers we had but wouldn’t change the fact that we’d 100% stay here again!

A well appointed apartment, very comfortable in a good position to access the town, local walks and bus services.

Although reversing into the parking space is a little narrow it’s position gives very easy loading/ unloading of luggage We will definitely return

Fourth time we have stayed here,a magic place to stay.

We love this apartment and all it provides.

A beautiful unique property.

Beautifully furnished with great facilities. And very easy to walk into Keswick and access some lovely walks without having to drive anywhere. We didn’t want for anything. Only small suggestion to change the time the heating comes on. I was putting it on at 6.30am so the flat was warm when we got up as it didn’t seem to come on till after 8. We were very lucky to have a week of amazing weather.

A lovely, well equipped flat within easy walking distance of Keswick town centre.

Elegant and spacious flat in a great location.

Sound insulation is poor. Conversation from the upstairs flat is difficult to ignore.Impressive TV, until we tried to use it. We had to search for anything to watch that was not US streamed product. The hob in the kitchen is a perfect example of form over function, overly complex in its use.After many years of self catering holidays, this was the first one with no form of welcome pack, a few tea bags and sachets of coffee are the minimum requirement. We would probably not return to this accommodation. Could be so much better.

Very high standards really enjoyed our week at grisedale view would definitely recommend

Well….

what can I say ? This is our second visit to Grisedale View and we still absolutely love it! Perfect in every way …it feels like it’s our own home from home! Love the decor, space and location…the apartment is spotless and has everything you could possibly need including a new Smart TV!!! Loved it so much that we’ve now booked for next year! Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home!

This was our fifth stay at Grisedale View - it's such a beautiful, comfortable home from home for us and the perfect base for some Lake District walking.

The refurbished kitchen looks lovely and although the new hob did prove challenging for about an hour, we soon got the hang of it with the help of a YouTube video. Perhaps it might be an idea to add a QR code link to an online video on the written instructions pinned on the door, to make it a little easier for guests to work out how to use the hob. The larger TV was much appreciated as was use of the summer house and the patio with those amazing views and sunsets. We're already planning our next visit so many thanks to Jo and Philip for providing such a wonderful holiday cottage - it has everything we need and more!

My partner and I stayed for a week and had a fantastic time.

Grisedale View was really comfortable, warm, well equipped, had great views and we felt at home there. Helpful to have electric vehicle charging. Also extremely easy to stay at Grisedale View without a car - 2 bus stops just down the road to Kendal/Lancaster (555) and Penrith (X4/X5) to join up with trains. Those buses also stop close to walking routes which we did e.g. Blencathra, Helvellyn. Loved our time here and would highly recommend.

Lovely stay.

We really liked the place and appreciate everything the owners have done to make it a comfortable place with character in which to stay. Having lots of books around was really nice for the rainy days, and the owner's own artworks really give the place a unique feel. Thanks for everything!

Was really looking forward to staying at Grisedale View and wow we won't disappointed.

..opening the front door was a wow and walking in each room was a wow....perfect in everyway... The bed was comfy...the bathroom great ..shower good....kitchen once we worked out how to work hob was great too . everything you needed was there....perfect location in Keswick with walking into the town centre 20 minutes away ..would definitely stay there again...❤️

Absolutely loved Grisedale View….

it’s perfect! Spotlessly clean, cosy, well equipped and tastefully decorated and furnished …truly a home from home! We loved it so much that we’ve rebooked for next year….that says it all!

A wonderful apartment on Chestnut hill.

Very stylish and traditional. Beautiful gardens and a very relaxing atmosphere that hides away from the busy centre of town . We would definitely return and probably will.

One of the best properties we have stayed in.

Ideal location for the lakes and Keswick. Bus stop 100 yards away in either direction. Views from the back garden fantastic. Highly recommended

Very well equipped apartment.

Very comfortable and with amazing views.

Wonderful property had a really nice holiday , very comfortable and clean.

Only problem was TV on first night , to get Fire tv to work it needs to be on HDMI side setting took quite a while to work this out , it had been left on TV setting needs to be in TV instructions. Otherwise very pleased would book again. Barry

Beautifully presented property and accurately described on the website.

Two observations; the digital cooker hob has been over designed by Neff and is extremely difficult to get to grips with unless, perhaps, you already have a similar type. The other is that I do agree with others that whilst the parking is very handy for off-loading luggage, the parking can be a little tricky whilst leaving the property does take a good bit of care. If you are a reasonably good driver don't let that put you off.

Another super stay.

Always booked so far ahead that it’s difficult to plan our next visit! So quiet in the property and superb views. Ideal location for short walk to buses in all directions. Perhaps advice regarding reversing into the drive from the busy road in the arrival information would help.

Lovely property with period features.

Very comfortable and well equipped. Great views -we enjoyed sitting on the terrace even in February! Great location with easy access to the railway path into town and many other walks. Close to the 555 bus stop to Grasmere and beyond. We had a lovely stay and look forward to returning!

The apartment was very comfortable and well placed for exploring the area.

There was everything we needed, and a very well equipped kitchen. Due to the time of year, we very much appreciated how easy the heating was to control, and the additional heater provided for the main sitting room was very useful. The apartment has pleasant views of the hills, and we very much enjoyed our stay. Would love to return in the summer to make use of the summer house and garden area.

Generally excellent.

TV is tricky. Some of the additional help in the booklet allows you to work around it eventually. I know it's difficult to clean with the high ceilings but the cobwebs hanging down in the bedroom particularly could do with removing. Superb views and good location are this property's best points.

This was our second stay at Grisedale View.

We enjoyed it so much last November we booked it again for this year. The property is so spacious and homely with all mod cons. It was a wonderful place to sit out Storm Debi! Its also a very manageable walk along the cycle track out of Keswick and close to the bus stops if either you don't fancy the walk or if you want to go further afield. Maybe Windermere Grasmere or from the town, Borrowdale. Of course there are sooo many walks and fells to choose from and that's before you check out the lake and the shops. Will definitely be back.

Another fabulous stay.

The property was as sparklingly clean as back in April. Only comments: A more comfortable chair (or two) in the breakfast room would be appreciated for those who don't both want to watch TV and do enjoy the view. We had TV issues. Thought I had tried everything, so property manager called the technician who promptly sorted it out. The extension code in the property handbook was incorrect (I hadn't tried that as it had been the same for three years). Corrected it in pencil! Back next April!

Excellent spacious accommodation in a marvellous setting.

The property was very well equipped and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. (. The only real downside was parking, as the entrance was quite narrow and turning the car round to exit ( onto a bend on a busy road ) was difficult but possible. Backing out onto the main road could have been very dangerous ) Well worth considering!!

We had a fantastic stay and loved the terrace and summer house.

The kitchen was a good size and had everything we needed, although we had to Google how to use the hob as there was no welcome pack/instructions. Great location with lovely views and an easy 20 or so minutes walk to the centre of Keswick (bus stop just down the road too). We were exceptionally lucky with the weather being glorious sun all week. This made sitting out on the terrace having dinner the highlight of our trip. It'd still be a very nice place to stay in different weather but not quite as special for us.

A lovely patio to sit and watch the sun go down in the evening.

The bed is very comfortable indeed! It was very nice to have a hot bath after walking the fells, to soften those stiff legs again!

Our fourth visit, this time for two (mostly dry) weeks.

Our "home from home" already booked for October. Couldn't believe we were the first in since November-the owners have been busy in the property. The place was sparkling. Love the clever kitchen re-vamp, though the hob was tricky at first (handbook above oven helped). All the negative points made previously have been dealt with: bathroom tap fixed, wi-fi boosted in sitting room, sitting room radiator working (nice and cosy).

As stated in previous reviews, the Wi-Fi is temperamental.

The accuracy of the agency contact information in the property folder requires updating (the contact name and number are incorrect). We required to contact them regarding a serious plumbing problem in the kitchen. In fairness, the named contact themselves contacted the agency on our behalf and the plumbing problem was fixed very quickly and satisfactorily.

We absolutely loved our stay in Grisedale View.

Any less than 100% ratings are simply unemotional responses to the specific categories. In actual fact it was like home from home and the wobbly bathroom tap or the iffy Wifi didn't in any way detract from the comfort of our stay. We did have a little bit of difficulty finding the property and drove up and down the road a few times before we located it. However it was good to know that we had parked the car correctly when we read the instructions in the Welcome Pack! However none of this in any way detracted from the wonderful time we spent at Grisedale View. The apartment is so spacious and well equipped. The layout is wonderfully disorientating. We mastered it internally after a few days but have yet to get our heads round how it fits in with the other adjoining properties! The views are wonderful and to be able to sit in a cosy, heated summerhouse in November with a glass of wine and watch the sunset was simply gorgeous. We chose to walk too and from Keswick but practically outside the accommodation there are bus stops in both directions. We hardly used the car at all. Keswick can be extremely busy but Grisedale View is situated about a 20 minute walk from the centre and is a wonderful place to retreat to after a day on the hills or in the town. We can't wait to come back and are planning to book again next autumn.

A lovely property in which we were very comfortable .

The location of the key to the property was not as described, but we did find it . The bathroom tap was very loose despite having been reported several times . The living room radiator did not come on whilst we were there which was a nuisance because we had some wet weather and needed it . Also access to the property was off the main road and necessitated reversing into the driveway .

Wonderful place to stay with such a lovely history.

We intend to return next year. Great setting ,look forward to the new kitchen.

Excellent accommodation very conformable, well equipped and a great location affording outstanding views.

Another super week at Grizedale View.

I can only follow on from previous comments here and in the visitor book: there is a musty smell in cupboards and bedding/towels, most windows won’t open and wifi in the lounge is non existent. Hopefully after some time to “ refresh” over the winter, these points will have been remedied before we return in April. We really do love the property and locality.

Lovely spacious, well equipped apartment in a perfect location for exploring the Lakes, with the bus stop outside for trips around the area.

Stunning views and spacious garden. Very difficult to locate initially - maybe a picture of the front of the building would help - and no TV reception during our stay. Overall a comfortable apartment in a great location

One of the taps on the basin in the bathroom was very loose when we arrived.

..I left a not in the visitors comments book....didn't like the dog next door roaming around & doing its business on the lawn. Otherwise all OK been many times to the cottage & will continue to use

Our second, and another wonderful, stay.

Already booked for September. So sorry to hear about the delays re the new kitchen-hope it works out for you soon. Didn’t spoil our stay though! Advice to pull up an kerb and reverse in would be very helpful to first time guests. The, fairly new, neighbours have worked so hard in their garden and improved the view. Looking forward to seeing the progress. A pity we can’t “fuss” their adorable dog, but do understand that some guests might not appreciate him!!! So convenient for Keswick (if you can walk the 2km) and bus. Didn’t move the car all week.

We found it difficult to locate.

The view of the property was hidden by 3 other parked cars when we arrived - belonging to the upstairs flat. This made entering and leaving the property fairly difficult, let alone having to get out onto the busy main road. Luckily, these people left on the Sunday and we were able to turn around on the premises before heading out. We think it would be useful to give a picture of the property as seen from the road on the joining instructions plus mentioning that it is directly before a large road sign if coming from Windermere or, just behind if coming from Keswick. The latter would only show the back of the sign. Other than that, the dishwasher was broken. This was mended quite quickly but no note was left to say that it had been done so we continued to wash up by hand - until the last day! Maybe advise the tenants when a job has been completed? Other than that, we loved the flat. Home from home.

This is a beautiful property, comfortably furnished, tastefully decorated with many artistic touches.

Roadside location was a concern before booking but a previous reviewer indicated it was quiet inside which it truly was. Warm and cosy in the cooler October weather.

Lovely property with bedroom, lounge and bathroom recently updated, but kitchen looking a bit shabby.

The terrace needs a real tidy up and weeding. If we’d been in more with bad weather I’d have done some. Very very strong detergent smell lingering on all the bedding- we’ve booked to go again and will take our own! Excellent location for the buses. Main road location but very quiet inside. Front door extremely squeaky.

Location great and very comfortable property with pleasant garden and summerhouse.

Quiet and peaceful, even though close to road

Homely, well equipped and comfy place to stay.

Beautiful views and close to Keswick. Relaxing stay in the lakes.

Our 8th visit and we will keep coming back for more! Two weeks of lovely weather and walking. Great place to relax after a busy day!

4 times we have visited this property! Weather has been absolutely fabulous. This place is still as great as ever! Thank you all.

Lovely cottage with great facilities. The sunsets were so lovely! We will come back to this property for sure now we have tried it!
