Tethera is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and stunning views.

Facilities are appreciated for their high standards and the inclusion of thoughtful extras, contributing to a homely feel.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, describing it as spotless and very clean, which indicates a high level of maintenance and attention to detail.
The location is highly praised for its fabulous views and proximity to Keswick and local attractions. However, some guests mention the driveway and distance from facilities, which slightly impacts the score.
Reviews frequently highlight the comfort of the apartment, mentioning comfortable beds and furniture. There is a single mention of lounge seating being uncomfortable, but overall, the sentiment is very positive.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of high-spec appliances and well-equipped kitchens. The mention of a dehumidifier's noise and a request for seating updates suggest minor areas for improvement.
While guests appreciate the inclusion of thoughtful extras like birdseed and a Nespresso machine, there is no consistent mention of gifts or consistent thoughtful gestures that would warrant a score in this category.
About this property
Tethera is a fabulous, two-bedroom ground floor apartment in Fieldside Grange, a grand slate building, originally a farmhouse, which has been converted into apartments. The house stands on a hillside above Keswick with panoramic views over majestic fells. A truly idyllic location. Accessed by a private unmade driveway, it is enchantingly set in two acres of unspoiled Lakeland countryside, yet is only one and a half miles from the pretty market town of Keswick. It is ideal for a family or two couples.
Walk into the communal entrance hall where you will find your front door. Store your outdoor gear in the handy utility room and find a beautiful open concept L-shaped room, which has been lovingly arranged into kitchen, dining and living areas to create a warm and sociable living space. Walk over to admire your fully equipped kitchen with granite worktops and your delightful dining table , imaginatively placed near the patio doors, with views to Cat Bells and surrounding fells. Then, relax for a while on your comfortable suite by the attractive electric fire and imagine lovely family evenings in this cosy space. You will find two lovely bedrooms: a double bedroom with a king size bed, and a twin bedroom. Both bedrooms are spacious and have attractive beamed ceilings. Your large and beautifully presented bathroom has a bath with separate shower unit. Walk through the door at the far end of the hall and explore your extensive shared grounds. Take in the majestic scene all around you and anticipate exciting adventures in this truly beautiful part of the world.

It's set in an idea location, surrounded by beautiful countryside and views of Catbells, but set close enough to Keswick for a spot of retail therapy. The owners care and consideration is truly welcomed, and we look forward to our next visit.

The views from the patio and grounds are stunning. An excellent base for walking and again maps and walking books are all provided. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return.
