Bikes, Boats & Buses
Explore the area around Greta Hall by bike or boar. We have lockable bike storage and there is plenty of space to store sailing boats, canoes etc.

If you would like to hire bikes we would recommend booking in advance during school holidays. We would recommend Kewick Mountain Bikes.

If you would like to either hire a sailing boat, rowing boats, kayaks or canoes we would recommend Nichol End Marine in Portinscale. If you bring a roof rack we have our own Canadian canoes and kayaks which we are happy to lend to guests.

We also offer discounted tickets for the Keswick Launch.
