Description

Lydia's River Cottage is open plan downstairs, fully central heated with a remote control living flame gas stove to provide a nice cosy focal point on cooler days. There is a 40 inch Smart Super HDTV and a DAB radio.

The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, oven with ceramic hob above and a microwave oven.

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.

a holiday base that surpasses all expectations!
We have used Lydia's as our Lake District holiday base every year since 2005, some times twice in a year. Ideally situated with amenities very local, yet it is a short walk into Keswick and there is a pleasant route via Fitzpark if you can know the way. The cottage is well presented, comfortable, always immaculate with all necessary equipment & facilities that make it " Home from Home". We know the owners personally and we are now very satisfied with the way and means that Keswick Cottages present the letting, nothing is too much trouble for them. The cost is the local average but it offers and pleases ourselves a lot more, there is a fantastic ramble just outside your door, the upgraded railway track a pleasant walk to Threlkeld and you can then catch the bus to return. I would thoroughly recommend a stay there, as long as you don't compromise my booking (LOL). Hopefully our annual pilgrimage will allow us many more years of pleasure, thank you very much the staff at Keswick Cottages.

Thank you so much for your lovely 5-star review! We love that you are regular guests to Lydia's River Cottage and that it is a home from home for yourselves. We are so pleased to know you are happy with how we are managing the cottage, we truly think it is a beautiful cottage with stunning views of the river Greta. We hope you continue to have wonderful stays here and make more special memories. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages
