About this property

Greta House - Luxury refurbished accommodation

Freshly renovated throughout, Greta House offers a modern and functional space for both families and couples. The property is accessed from Penrith Road, just opposite The Twa Dogs Inn, and is within walking distance of Keswick town centre.

The front door leads into the sophisticated open plan living and kitchen area, where you will find plenty of space to hang coats and store boots. There would be enough room here to keep a pram if needed. The living area is furnished with 2 plush leather sofas, a built-in bar which is kitted out with cocktail making equipment, wall-mounted 42-inch smart TV and log burning stove for those chilly nights by the fire.

Beyond the living area you will see the dining table, which seats 4 people comfortably. In this central section you can also find the integrated fridge and freezer, kettle and toaster. Food preparation is possible around the corner in the main kitchen area, which also houses the electric oven/grill, induction hob, dishwasher, sink with hose attachment, air-fryer and washer/dryer.

The kitchen is filled with light thanks to the bi-fold doors that open out onto the delightful patio area. You can enjoy al-fresco meals around the large outdoor dining table whilst soaking up the views and the sounds of the River Greta. From the patio you can walk through the lawned area to a beautiful deck complete with outdoor sofa and parasol, for those lazy days by the water.

Heading back up towards the house, you will find an outdoor kitchen area to your left, perfect for the Summer months.

Once inside, walk back through to the living room and up the stairs to the 1st floor hallway. Straight ahead, at the front of the property, you can find the master suite. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed, bedside tables and lights, and clothing rails. The ensuite comprises walk in shower, WC, heated towel rail and sink.

The second bedroom can be found at the rear of the property and benefits from beautiful views over the garden and River Greta, which are on full display thanks to the floor-ceiling casement window. The addition of a Juliette balcony means that you can open this up to enjoy the surroundings from the comfort of your bed! This room is furnished with a super-king bed, which can be made up into a twin upon request (£15 additional fee).

Finally, across the hall you can find the bathroom which comprises walk in waterfall shower, sink, WC and heated towel rail. Towels are provided.

There is a bus stop close by which will take you into the town centre, or you can enjoy the lovely walk along the old trainline which has been turned into a footpath.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Wonderful accommodation in a great location. Just a short walk into town. Place was spotless. Lovely garden with the river at the bottom. Kept the window open in the night to hear the lovely sound of it. Parking may be difficult during busier periods but we were able to get a space on the small road opposite every time.

Fabulous cottage and garden

The cottage is beautiful and really well appointed. It had everything we needed for our short stay. The garden is beautiful and we’d like stay again in the spring or summer months to appreciate it more! It’s only a short walk into Keswick and bus stops are right near by. We’d definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous garden. Very relaxing stay

We loved relaxing in the garden and using the fantastic BBQ. Beautiful house, and really comfortable. The house was well equipped although an airer to dry the clothes and a bread knife would have been useful.

Cosy cottage with amazing garden

Beautiful cottage on the river Greta. We loved our stay. Everything really clean. The house itself is compact but the garden is expansive which is quite rare in Keswick.we loved all the beautiful garden furniture in the glorious weather. My only improvements would be space to store food, better kitchen knives, another set of cutlery/glasses so you don’t have to be washing all the time.

A lovely setting

Greta Cottage is lovely, a smashing garden which leads down onto the shallow river. Lovely garden furniture. It’s not fenced from the neighbours so dog needs to supervised always when in the garden. The cottage is furnished to a very high standard. The beds very comfortable. Only downside is it’s on a busy main road. We were able to park on the little road opposite and was able to walk safely into Keswick once crossed over the main road and up onto the old bridge behind the petrol station. Would definitely stay again

That Garden!

That garden…. If you have dry weather it just stunning. Lovely stay at Greta House, great location. The back bedroom view is amazing. Parking not the best but we could always get a space. Keswick cottages always on hand with any queries. The only downside for us would be pillows… only because I prefer them firmer. Also in the warmer weather a fan in the bedrooms would be a great addition.

Greta house

Greta House was everything we hoped would be. We had the loveliest stay. Attention to detail in this property was amazing and having beautiful garden with river at bottom was a massive plus. Lovely seating area at bottom where had lovely snooze. Seating area through the bifolding doors was lovely my only wish is I wish had time to use the amazing gas barbecue never seen the likes of. Owners you can see have spent a lot time, thought and money on Greta house I loved hidden bar and hot drinks area. Thank you for lovely stay. Tony Mary Watson

Greta House - short weekday break

Greta House is a well presented property within walking distance of the town. The town can be accessed via the Threlkeld to Keswick old railway line, following the river path or via the main road. Parking is opposite the house on a short street which can park around seven cars. We had no difficulty finding a parking space but this might be more tricky in busy periods. The Twa Dogs car park is also opposite the House and may allow parking but we had no reason to enquire about this. The House is adequately equipped. The bedrooms and bathrooms are also adequately equipped. We found the House to be warm and comfortable. The garden is lovely with views and access to the river and benefits from garden furniture.

A haven in Keswick

We had an amazing stay in Greta House. It is newly refurbished to an extremely high and contemporary standard. The owners have gone way above the finish you would expect to find in holiday rental. The linen, duvets, towels crockery and glassware are really high quality. The house is small but there are two lovely bathrooms and decent sized bedrooms. The downstairs open plan living space is fantastic and includes two large comfy sofas, log burner, bar, pantry cupboard, coffee tables, smart TV, and bi-fold doors out to the garden. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need including an induction hob and air fryer. The bed in the bedroom at the back of the house is HUGE and there is full height window that opens onto the garden. The garden is stunning and slopes down to the river Greta. The garden has a dining table and comfy sofa. For dog owners - the garden is not enclosed. One thing to note - the house is on a busy main road and there is traffic noise in the house (but not in the bedroom at the back). We live near to a main road at home and so the noise didn't trouble us but it might be an issue if you are used to a quieter environment. In addition, there are a few parking spaces over the road and while we did not have any issues with parking in February, it might be different in peak season. An amazing stay and we will certainly be back.
