Super little cottages, plenty of space to relax. Excellent, well stocked kitchen. Washer and dryer although we didn’t need these. Water pressure an issue for second shower but we just worked that out ourselves . Great location for exploring Keswick and all it’s amenities.

Our 21st year in the lakes “Wainwrighting”, have stayed in a fair few places over the years, Keswick being our favourite. Green Ghyll is ideally located a short wander to the town centre with free off street parking outside the property.Inside the rental has a great layout, the kitchen is really well equipped with modern appliances, plates , cutlery etc. Bedrooms are comfortable, bathrooms well specked with lots of hot water, and the decor through this very nice. A proper home from home, we are booking again for year 22.

Great location, free on road parking (and we got parked right outside). Rooms very spacious, especially kitchen and the two bedrooms we used very comfortable. Could have done with mirrors in both. The top ensuite had a tiny oversink mirror only. The sink in the ensuite also v small but adequate for a 3 night stay. Kitchen had full set of everything.
