The rear door leads onto a large elevated riverside patio directly above the river Greta, which is private and has spectacular river views.Relaxed outdoor dining can be combined with wildlife viewing (binoculars supplied). Ducks, goldeneye, mergansers, herons, white throated dippers and grey wagtails are common and the rarer sightings include kingfishers and otters.
Upstairs there are two pretty bedrooms - a double bedroom to the rear of the property which overlooks the river and a twin bedded room to the front with views towards Walla Crag.
The modern shower room washbasin and toilet are upstairs, as the cottage has no bath the owners installed a large shower with choice of monsoon or normal showering.
Parking for the cottage is private, off road and large enough for two cars.
WiFi is complementary and unlimited approx 16Mbps.

Clean, well equipped, reasonably comfortable, pleasantly situated by the River Greta and an easy walk into Keswick town centre. The busy main road towards Penrith that runs past the cottage is a little noisy but that’s not the fault of the cottage, just something to be aware of. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Lydia’s cottage is a delight, it definitely has the wow factor. Everything about it is a delight, it’s so well equipped and comfortable. It was very pleasant to go to sleep every night with the sound of the river, and a very comfy bed. A big plus for me was the bus stops outside, I travelled by train so I used the very good bus service to get around. I also appreciated the Fair Share scheme so I could donate food etc that I couldn’t take with me. I highly recommend this cottage and would definitely book again. It also helped that I had beautiful weather so the patio overlooking the river was well used!

We had a fantastic time at Lydia’s cottage. Although on a main road no noise could be heard from passing vehicles. The back of the property backs onto the river and the views and the sound of the river were heavenly. Lots of bird action & binoculars provided in the property gave us a close up view. The property itself has been beautifully renovated and on arrival spotlessly clean. Beds and bedding really comfortable and lovely bathroom with an excellent rainfall shower. The owners of the cottage, Michael & Daphne, were very prompt and helpful regarding help with heating controls (our only request)
The cottage location is perfectly placed for access quick to the Threlkeld railway trail and dozens of other walks from easy to hard. A 10 minute walk will take you into town with access to lots of dog friendly pubs, cafes and restaurants.
Thank you Michael & Daphne for a great stay
