GREYSTOKE GHYLL SELF CATERING COTTAGE HOLIDAYS

Greystoke holiday cottages are ideally placed to visit all of the attractions that Cumbria has to offer, situated about four miles west of Penrith. This makes Greystoke self catering cottages easy to get to, while secluded enough to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing break in the countryside. Greystoke iteself is an extremely pleasant village, with an ancient church, a village green with a 16th century market cross and Greystoke castle complimenting the pretty cottages and friendly, local pub. Greystoke lies in the lovely landscape at the foot of the Eastern Fells of the Lake District, with rolling hills, green fields and woodlands all around.

As well as the immediate attractions of the village, visitors to Greystoke self catering properties can enjoy the Eden Valley, which has numerous visitor attractions and history to explore. There are castles, pretty sandstone villages, ancient churches, craft centres, art galleries, cafes, potteries and even an Ostrich farm that is open to the public! Of course, the Eden Valley is great for walkers to, with miles and miles of peaceful footpaths and bridleways criss crossing this unspoilt, tranquil landscape. The Lake District is on the doorstep too, with Bowscale Fell and Carrock Fell the nearest walking options in Mungrisdale. However, within easy reach the entire national park is at the disposal of guests at Greystoke holiday cottages - with Keswick not too far away, Ullswater and its famous steamers, or the famous fells of Great Gable, Helvellyn or Scafell Pike.

This area of Cumbria is advantageous in location because it sits at the centre of a fantastic landscape that includes the Lake District to the West, Hadrian's Wall Country to the North, the North Pennines and Eden Valley to the East, and to the Southeast, the Yorkshire Dales - all easily visited on day trips. Alternatives to Greystoke self catering properties include the nearby Catterlen holiday cottages and the self catering cottages at Dacre.
