Welcome to our 4 Star Lake District Cottages
Welcome to Greta Hall former home of the Lake Poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey, now a family home and three extremely comfortable 4* self-catering holiday cottages near Keswick in the Lake District. We have a variety of excellent cottages providing self catering accommodation for 2 to 11 people.
A large family orientated, utilitarian garden and untamed woodland with river frontage surround this fine Georgian house. The buildings have been sympathetically restored using traditional materials; the structure of the house has changed little since the early 1800s except with some additional plumbing!
