Description: Former home of the Lake Poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey, Greta Hall is now a family home and three extremely comfortable 4* self-catering accommodation options.

Former home of the Lake Poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey, Greta Hall is now a family home and three extremely comfortable 4* self-catering accommodation options.

Frequented by William & Dorothy Wordsworth, Lord Byron, Keats, Shelley, Sir Walter Scott, Sir George & Lady Beaumont, De Quincey, Dr. Arnold, Sir. John Stuart Mill, Robert Owen, William Wilberforce, Ruskin, Humphrey Davey, Lamb and Hazlitt. Greta Hall has a unique literary history.

A large, utilitarian garden and untamed woodland with river frontage surround this fine Georgian house. The buildings have been sympathetically restored and the structure of the house has changed little since the early 1800s - except some significant additions to the plumbing and heating!

Greta Hall is within easy walking distance of Keswick town centre, Skiddaw, Latrigg, Derwentwater, Borrowdale, Bassenthwaite & Newlands valleys, thirteen miles from Grasmere (Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount) and seventeen miles from Hill Top Farm (Beatrix Potter). A perfect base for dedicted walkers, families & historians and anyone wanting to relax & enjoy the quiet perfection of the Lakes.

We aim to offer a relaxed and friendly environment for your holiday focusing on simplicity, avoiding pretension, devoid of snobbery and hopefully providing an experience which is deeply relaxing, very enjoyable and not too expensive.
