Description

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.

Long weekend break
We really enjoyed our break at Lydia's River Cottage the weather wasnt the best but we managed to get out for walks and a browse around Keswick shops, the Christmas lights are always so lovely! The cottage was very cosy and well equipped, we had a small issue with the gas fire which was dealt with very promptly by Michael the owner who very quickly resolved the problem he couldn't have been helpful and we enjoyed chatting about the cottage. The cottage is about a 10-15 walk into town along the road but there are also footpaths within easy reach which take you into the countryside and park, we would definitely return to this cottage as we felt it met all our expectations

Thank you for your amazing 5* review! We are really happy that you enjoyed your stay, it's so great to hear that you would come back to visit again, that is the best review possible! We're glad that you met Michael and that he was able to help with the fire - it's definitely needed at this time of year. We hope to host you for another stay in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lydia river cottage
Had a lovely week stay in Cottage . Very cosy and a perfect location . The only thing that was missing which would have been useful was a bench at the front of house .

Thank you for your wonderful 5* review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay at Lydia's River Cottage. The location on the River Greta is beautiful and the walk into Keswick is very pleasant, we're glad that this property ticked all the boxes for you. We will be sure to pass on your comments regarding the bench, guest insight is always appreciated. We hope to host you again soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Wonderful family cottage
We stayed during October half term. We were stunned by the beautiful wall of autumn colour from the rear of the house and the river is so lovely Great location if you want to distanced yourself from the centre. Only 15 mins by bike along the railway path into town with the kids (3 & 5 years). Road noise is loud but sound of river does balance it out. Newly refurbished and has everything you would need. Gas fire didn’t work. Beds really comfy but double is a small double - adults would be better in the twin room and kids share small double. Overall lovely little cottage, stunning river views and all the comforts you need. Definitely recommend!

Thank you for your fabulous review, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Lydia's River Cottage. We can just imagine how stunning those views were from the patio with all the Autumn leaves on show across the river, you picked a great time to visit! We bet that the little ones loved cycling into town, it's a great path away from the traffic. I'm sorry that you couldn't use the fire during your stay, as a small local agency based in central Keswick we are always happy to assist if there are any problems, so never hesitate to contact us if you need anything :-) the master bedroom is furnished with a standard double bed, just a touch smaller than a king but we hope that it still provides a very comfortable sleep! We hope to host you again for another Lakeland break! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

This is a lovely cottage by the river and a short walk to the town centre. The nearby garage shop is very close for anything you need. Everything we needed was there for us and the crockery etc was of a very high standard. The smart tv was handy and wall mounted. We couldn't get the gas fire to work but the central heating was more than warm enough. The bedrooms were comfortable and we used both as the river noise can get loud at night. Parking was easy and we left the car there from arrival to departure.
