Greta Mill

We have travelled to the Lake District for years and stayed in many different propertys.

This property had the best equipped kitchen we've ever had - it made a great difference to our stay. The rooms were great and lovely relaxing spaces. Location was wonderful. We would definitely return to this propert.

We really enjoyed our week at Greta Mill.

The house is very comfortable and has the best equipped kitchen. As previous guests have mentioned, the location is ideal as it’s a 5 minute walk into town and Fitz park is just across the river, which is great for a morning dog walk. As a family of 6 we really appreciated the en-suite bedrooms. Also the electric car charger was useful and reasonably priced. It would be lovely if there was a supply of kindling and wood ready to light the wood burner on arrival .

Great property.

Walking distance from town and you can start numerous walks from the door. The facilities were good for cooking and ‘hanging out’. We’d definitely stay again.

Lovely property and was nice and warm all week.

All bedrooms are good sized and it’s a handy location for walking into Keswick.

As a family,Greta Mill, is a long time favourite holiday let.

Yet again we enjoyed our stay.if I had to be critical of anything, the shower in the front bedroom smells damp and has traces of mould around the edge of the shower tray but I am being “nit picky” and it had no negative effect on our holiday everything else was good, don’t know why the log burners were switched over as the one in the kitchen is much better than the one now in the lounge? My only other complaint doesn’t relate to the premises but to the 1600 entry and the 1000 exit time, that adds up to a days holiday lost.

Perfect weekend at Greta Mill.

Property was spacious and homely, spotlessly clean,a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds all en-suite rooms. Situated in an ideal location approx 5/10 minutes walk to the town centre with easy access to Fitz Park opposite. We walked from the house to Latrigg and as a cold wet day enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub on return. Parking good with enough space for 3 cars. A welcome pack of goodies was an added bonus -thank you! Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay at Greta Mill.

The house is lovely and spacious, just right for our family and grandchildren and in the perfect position for the park and town.

Exactly as described and suited our group very well.

A great location for the town and branching out on our walks. Will definitely choose again.

Loved the house it was so well equipped and beautifully decorated.

Perfect for our friend group. Only thing missing was hairdryers. The house was in a great location. We tried to book for next May but fully booked.

Greta Mill is in a wonderful location opposite Fitz Park, which was great for walking the dogs, and close to the shops and restaurants.

The property was comfortable and decently equipped, although would have liked a hairdryer and a tumble drier. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, even though the weather was not great and would return to Greta Mill.

Returning with family once again, this must be about our 5th visit.

Love all the upgrades, it just gets better each time. Great size for a family get together, had everything we needed, although it didn’t have a hairdryer this time. Can’t wait to go again, hopefully a little less rain next time. It didn’t spoil it for us.

Great house well located for exploring.

Very comfortable, well equipped with good access to Keswick town and Derwent Water.

A great property for extended family holidays.

Greta Mill was a fantastic property,everything was sparkling clean,and very close to Keswick town facilities,a bonus was 2 parking places on site.

Would highly recommend.

Nice well equipped large home, clean and tidy hot tub was great, nicely decorated for Christmas.

Would book again. Need to supply some instructions on how to use the electric car charger, installed the required app but couldn’t use it as a guest, would have to set it up as the owner of the charger, so didn’t bother. The few public chargers in Keswick are pretty busy at school holiday times.

Great property very well equipped and comfortable stay in the heart of Keswick had a lovely stay with family couldn’t fault it Hopefully back next year

Fantastic property that is well looked after and perfectly situated for Keswick centre.

The local parks are an absolute credit to Keswick. Thank you for an excellent stay.

We loved the property!

It had everything you could want. My only constructive criticism would be that the pillows are not great and there was a lot of mismatched crockery, cutlery & glassware. The hot tub was great after a long days walking!

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage.

We had a lovely time, the house is in a good position, well equipped and comfortable.

We would definitely book again.

We had an amazing time in Keswick, staying at Greta Mill.

We were surprised how big the property was. It suited our families needs perfectly and each bedroom having an en-suite was great. We only had one issue with the hot tub turning green and this was dealt with within an hour and no problem after. The lounge was a little cramped with 7 of us watching football on TV but we managed. When we return to Keswick we will definitely be booking Greta Mill again.

Really only space to park 2 cars not three.

Only seating for 6 in lounge. Apart from that we really love the property and think it is wonderful. 5 minute walk to Keswick centre. Lovely bedrooms, all ensuite. Superb kitchen with plenty of equipment. I could happily live there for the rest of my life.

Greta Mill was fabulous, I can highly recommend it.

It was very spacious and beautifully decorated and furnished. Bedrooms were amazing, all being ensuite, and there was plenty of room for all 7 of us in the sitting room and kitchen. Loved the hot tub, which got a lot of use by the kids. And it was a brilliant location, being both an easy walk into the town and opposite the lovely Fitz park with quick and easy access to paths up the fells too. It was clean and very comfortable indeed. A wonderful place to stay in Keswick.

This is a lovely property a short walk from the town centre.

The two big downstairs rooms are separate from each other so you get a great sense of space. It is an old property and so although fully modernised is a bit quirky. I was worried about how close it it is to a busy road but that was not a problem and the closeness to the park and the river was perfect.

Beautiful property.

A free minor issues with hot tub and DVD player but quickly resolved. Great sup port and service.

Lovely property in a great location for town, walks and ample parking for 3 cars.

Couldn't fault!

Great place to stay.

Clean and comfortable. The only thing I would say is that for 8 people there isn't quite enough comfy seating in the lounge area, which could be rectified by moving things around slightly. Other than this would recommend and go again.

Great property located in centre of Keswick.

Will look to book again

Great location and very clean and well-maintained

Good location, though not clear from the advert that it is on a main road.

Good sized rooms, though not enough comfy seating in the living room for more than six people. Bath taps did not work properly making it impossible to use. The fixtures and fittings of the accommodation area are dated. Garden area is more of a yard and overlooked.

The cottage is lovely, however needs some attention some of the heated towel rails don’t work, one toilet has a small leak, another toilet just keeps running once flushed.

Sofas in lounge are not very comfortable to sit in. Hot tub pumps randomly come on during the night and can be heard in the bedrooms. I would definitely stay again, the cottage is in an amazing location it just needs a little bit of attention. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful home in a perfect location

Comfortable cottage in central location with much appreciated parking.

Well equipped with comfy beds and good showers. Meets all the needs of a walking holiday and hot tub nice to help aching muscles. Could use a bit of maintenance eg bits of peeling wallpaper and poorly fitting curtains.

Greta Mill was lovely and perfect for us.

All the facilities we needed as a group of four couples. Thank you.

What a beautiful cottage in a perfect location.

We got a lovely welcome pack ( one of the best we ever had ) and it was so great being so close to Keswick centre . We did have a problem with a toilet and the owner and Sykes sorted it out so promptly. The staff at Sykes are so helpful ( especially Amy) which is why I use this company on a regular basis . We loved the cottage so much we booked again BEFORE we left

The hot tub was not hot.

so we could not use it We reported it to Sykes representative in Keswick office She contacted The owner who said we wouldn’t come over because he had “ guests “ so he asked the lady called Sharon to try and sort it . She couldn’t.She also confirmed it was not hot The owner made a visit the next day but did not fix it That was the last we heard from either the owner or Sykes We only went in the tub once . We paid a lot of Money to have a hot tub over Xmas and we never had use of one I believe we are due some money back

Had a great week in Greta Mill.

The house suited our family of 6 adults and one dog,- plenty of space, well equipped kitchen and en-suites with all the bedrooms. We enjoyed the hot tub, even in the rain. It was great being able to walk into Keswick for shops, restaurants, theatre and pubs, also walking to Derwentwater and catching the launch to walk along the lake to Grange.

Greta Mill was clean, warm and well looked after with comfortable furniture and fittings.

The space was adequate for eight adults, with enough crockery and cutlery. The spacious dining table was a bonus. The lounge and bedrooms were all comfortable, although the twin room was a bit tight. The showers were good with on tap hot water at all times. The kitchen was well equipped, with enough equipment to enable us to cook meals several times. The location is excellent, we didn’t use the cars all week and ample parking on site and free on road parking meant this was easy for all. Great base to explore Keswick and surrounding areas with walking and bus routes on the doorstep. Niggles about the house were too minor to give feedback on, and are about personal preference, none of which spoiled the time we were in the house. In fact, we would book again. (Not a complaint, but the owner may like to know that the guttering at the rear of the house - above the dining room windows, leaks significantly when raining.

This is a brilliant property in an excellent location.

So much room for a family of 5 adults. Hot tub was lovely, got colder at times but we did use it a lot. Beds were very comfy. The one at the back of the property could do with an upgrade as its squeaky but overall great. Would stay again.

Cottage clean and a great space to have family and friends as all bedrooms have en-suite facilities, a major plus.

Showers v powerful and plenty of hot water. Kitchen lovely and location within a short walk to all facilities. HOWEVER, the beds are terrible! The mattresses all look new'ish but are totally worn out, dipped, lumpy and very uncomfortable. When your 13 year old daughter complains she can not sleep because her back hurts - its got to be bad! I think the divans also contribute, as they are all collapsed and really old, circa 1980 I'd say. It's a mistake so many rental cottages make - with a high turnover of people, the beds (including their divans) need changing every 6 months. Such a shame that a minor, easy fix at little expense, REALLY caused us an uncomfortable stay at this cottage :-( The sofas are also very well used and a bit grubby, plus a lick of point wouldn't go amiss. Final moan, no black out on curtains so summer sun at 5am and you are awake! Please fix these small things as the rest of the cottage is perfect, such a shame.

The house was clean and had everything we needed.

It is a great central location for a mixed age family gathering.

Provided us with a great family break, very comfortable and spacious accommodation, with all amenities clean and modern.

Fantastic and very comfortable house in a perfect location to explore Keswick and the Lake District.

Lovely little welcome package and very good value for money. I would highly recommend xx

The double beds in the two main bedrooms were not comfortable and really should be replaced as back problems were pretty bad by mid week.

We had a great stay at Greta Mill, it was perfect for a family getaway.

Plenty space and so convenient to have a ensuite bathroom in each room. We loved the location and the added benefit of a hot tub! Would definitely stay again. Only small criticism us that one of the neighbours complained about us using the hot tub before the cut off time of 10.30 pm. Otherwise it was a perfect stay.

Greta Mill was a lovely place to stay it had plenty of room for the six adults two children & two dogs & each room having an en-suite was an added bonus , the house was very well equipped with plenty of everything , the only thing extra we could have been doing with as we all like to cook was a small food processor & a pestal & mortar but we improvised and made do .

Greta Mill sits in an ideal position being close to the park , shops, the Lake & mountain walks , overall we were delighted & had a wonderful week spent with our family & would definitely book again . Thanks

4th visit, says it all really.

Feels like coming home. Love staying at this house, just sad that, due to Covid restrictions, some of our family couldn’t be there!

The only thing we would mention was that we were told a high hair and travel cot would be readily available.

Upon arrival, we couldn’t find either. After a phone call to the office, we came to realise that the travel cot was in a wardrobe in a different room than we were told (this wasn’t really too much of a problem). However, in order to locate the high chair we had to unlock the cleaners cupboard door upstairs, locate a key which unlocked a door downstairs to a cupboard with the high chair in (felt a little bit like Crystal Maze). However, overall, we had a very pleasant stay. The hot tub was a wonderful added extra and really made the holiday for us, after long days of walking, a relaxing time in the hot tub was well needed. The property was a 5 minute walk to the town centre which was perfect (we saved so much money on parking). The property itself was wonderful, very spacious, very homely. The beds were comfortable, the ensuites were great and the family bathroom was lovely. Everywhere was very very clean. This property would be the kind of property we would be looking for when and if we move to the Lakes. Would 100% recommend the property and would definitely stay here again. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 5 stars!!!

We had a great family reunion, the cottage was very clean and we all thought the beds were extremely comfy.

It was great having an en-suite each but the tub in the main bathroom was particularly appealing to one member of the family. The sitting room was well used of an evening, the woodburning stove was lovely and very well used as we did find the property very difficult to heat but being from Scotland and Snowdonia, North Wales we are built of sturdy stuff! A couple of members did think the large sofa in the sitting room was uncomfortable but the dining area was ideal, plenty of seating and space for the family meals we enjoyed together. As the nominated cook, I did think the kitchen lacked a lot of general utensils and more serving dishes and egg cups (3 for 8 of us!) would have been appreciated. Hot tub was great, although the fellas didn't get a look in. The parking was a real bonus and we could fit 3 cars quite easily as advertised. The location was perfect for us, close to Fitz Park (literally on the other side of the road and river) and Hope Park and just a short stroll through Keswick town (which we loved) to Derwent Waters. The girls (our 2 dogs) loved the extra walks and it was nice to have a fully enclosed patio at the rear for them. All in all a great week away and we are most definately thinking of rebooking for next year.

Previous feedback on the site mentioned the front bedroom was subject noise from the busy main road and people walking home after a night out.

This was noticeable on our first night (Saturday) but it wasn't every night. And that room was across the road from the river and park so beautiful views and nice early morning walks. It would be simple enough to put some secondary double glazing on those windows though it wouldn't stop us going back in the future.

Road noise is a problem for people in front bedroom,if you like to sleep late in the morning I advise you to take some ear plugs with you.

Parking for 3 cars is a bit optimistic unless they are small cars. Other than that its a fabulous place and we will surely be back.

Extractor in the kitchen didn’t seem able to deal with busy cooking - the alarms were activated a couple of times.

Maybe an extra key or a key safe would be ideal - several groups coming & going at different times. It’s a very lovely house & these are relatively trivial things. It is a super house in a great location.

We loved this cottage so much we came back for the second time this year and intend to again, will definitely visit more Sykes places too.

Superb location.

Brilliant for families to share accommodation with the four double bedrooms

Generally a lovely house, very comfortable and ideally located a few minutes walk from the center of town.

Great location for dog-owners as it is right opposite Fitz Park. However the owners could do with addressing a couple of points. No adequate drying facilities for clean laundry, only a boot room for drying waterproofs etc. We had to go to the local laundrette for this. Maybe a retractable washing line in the yard or exchange washing machine for a washer-dryer? Crockery needs checking over, quite a few cracked plates (mostly large green ones). Small issue with towel rails not working, but office were notified. Hot tub lovely - but has a tendency to turn on during the night on its own!! Very strange!! There was also no plug in the family bathroom hand sink, not sure why??

The house worked really well, being four en suite rooms with the additional family bathroom.

This is the comfiest house we've ever stayed in in Keswick.- we really appreciated the owners' efforts to make it so nice. I would have liked more plates and glasses which were matching. The crockery and dishes to cook with or serve up food were the weakest parts of the accommodation experience 0 I actually headed off to a charity shop to buy a milk jug of decent size and left it behind for the next folks.. We loved the tasteful patio where we could eat out this year - an uncommon experience for us in Keswick!! and we enjoyed the hot tub. We'd love to book Greta Mill again but we see it's already booked for 2019, so maybe 2020! Well done everyone for making our stay so enjoyable - including Sykes Cottages.
