Lydia's River Cottage is open-plan downstairs, fully central-heated with a remote-controlled living-flame gas stove to provide a cosy focal point on cold days (and we do have lots of them!). There is a 40-inch Smart Super HDTV and a DAB radio.
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 bedrooms – a double bedroom to the rear of the property, overlooking the river, and a twin room to the front with views towards Walla Crag.
The modern shower room, washbasin, and WC 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 complimentary and unlimited, approx 16Mbps.
