Lovely large property, everything there that was needed. Location handy for our many trips Ullswater way this time-have been enjoying annually family holidays in The Lakes for about 15yrs now-usually nearer to Keswick & Derwentwater, so made a refreshing change. Welcomed by owner on arrival.

Had a great time, nice rural location and a short trip into Penrith with its 4 major supermarkets and a good choice of independent shops to buy food. Everything is provided right down to bin liners. The EV charger was convenient, meaning that there was no need to look for chargers in the Lake District.

We had a wonderful stay at Ravencroft in October 2024. The house is really well equipped for groups and was spotlessly clean. Beautiful view from the living room. We had a great time exploring the Lake District and Hadrian's Wall. Would definitely recommend.

A beautiful cottage, in a beautiful location not too far from Penrith town but secluded enough. Plenty of space had my family and friends family stay (total of 7). Kitchen is well equipped and the range cooker is impressive. Would highly recommend!
