loved the balcony with views over the river greta and walks on the railway line and surrounding woods. Have recommended this apartment and the Low Briery holiday park to friends and family and we look forward to returning in the future.

Quiet. 40min walk to bus station along the old railway track, & good views of the lakes. No problems at all.

The view over the river Greta was lovely, the property is well situated for an easy walk in to Keswick and is great base for exploring the area. There were a couple of points keeping us from giving top marks, the extractor fan in the kitchen did not work and there was a damp patch with mould In the corner of the lounge ceiling, which needed attention, this was also causing the wall paper to bubble below (these were reported to reception but not rectified during our stay), hopefully these were rectified on our departure. However despite these two issues we would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
