Guests say
Riverside Park 5 in Keswick is a well-regarded apartment, praised for its cleanliness, stunning views, and prime location close to the town centre. Guests appreciate the well-equipped space and the thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. While some minor maintenance issues and comfort concerns are noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests enjoying their stay and planning to return.
Guests consistently mention the apartment's spotlessness and the high standard of cleanliness, with particular praise for the housekeeper's efforts. The property is described as the cleanest some guests have ever stayed in.
The apartment's location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre, easy access to local walks, and beautiful views over the river and park. Its central yet peaceful setting is a highlight for many visitors.
While many guests find the apartment comfortable and well-furnished, some have raised issues with seating comfort, particularly for those with back problems. The addition of a pillow improved the situation for one guest, but the sofa's low height was a drawback for some.
The apartment is generally well-equipped, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as a broken washing machine, leaking radiator, and minor problems with blinds and toilets. These issues suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
Guests are delighted by thoughtful gestures such as a welcome pack and cakes on arrival. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

This was the cleanest & nicest holiday let we have stayed in. The place was spotless, warm, so well equipped with everything & the location perfect . The housekeeper & owner obviously really care. To find a housekeeper that cleans to this standard is rare, so a huge shout her to her. We can't wait to return!
