Lovely cottage with everything you could possibly want. Very close to the M6 (10minute drive) and perfectly positioned to exore Cumbria and the Lake District. Ullswater/Kendal/Keswick all within a short drive. Debs couldnt have been nicer or more welcoming. Felt like we I knew her my whole life lolWould highly recommend. Photos do not do the cottage justice.

A spacious property with all the amenities to make a restful stay enjoyable.
It is out of town so peaceful, but close enough to be able to enjoy what Penrith has to offer.
The host provides clear instructions. You can cook easily or walk to the local hotel/bar for a good meal.
Good size shower, comfy bed, easy parking, well maintained.
