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!

A lovely property, located on the outskirts of Penrith. Ample space for everyone to either enjoy their own space or group activities. Ideal for a base in visiting the surrounding historic sites and of course visits to the lakes. Ullswater is literally 20 minutes away and Windemere about 50 depending on which route you take.

A really lovely, clean and tidy property with everything we needed for a pleasant, comfortable stay. We were a group of 8 adults with 3 cars. There was plenty of crockery and utensils and the extra fridge for drinks was a bonus! Ample parking space. The property has a house at the back and farm buildings at the front and you can see the M6 (away inRead more the distance) from the picture window but it still felt very peaceful and rural. It's an ideal base for exploring the Lake District. Hide

The property is beautiful with even more beautiful views! We had one small issue with the plumbing which was sorted very quickly whilst we were out for the day, with no distribution to our stay! The lady that owns the property was very kind and polite and the property was no longer than a half an hour drive from where we wanted to be!

Beautiful cottage, though the photographs were rather artistically taken and didn't show how overlooked the property was. That being said, we chose the house for the one view, which it had accurately portrayed, and its comfort factor, which it completely was. I suffer from back issues so needed good beds, and this one certainly had that. And wonderRead moreful facilities also. Would certainly choose again. Even if it was closer to the motorway than we'd have liked. All in all lovely property. Hide
