Greta Hall offers unexpected seclusion close to Keswick town centre and is an ideal base for literary scholars, walkers, cyclists, families and historians. Anyone wanting to relax and enjoy the Lakes.

A large garden and untamed woodland with river frontage surround this fine Georgian house. The structure of the house has changed little since the early 1800s - except some significant additions to the plumbing and heating systems! All restoration work has been carried out sympathetically using traditional materials.
