The charming old village of Penruddock sits in a secluded position in the northern Lake District between Keswick and Penrith, and just four miles from Ullswater. The village is spread out amongst beautiful rolling countryside and wonderful scenery and is made up of a number of farm dwellings, traditional Lakeland homes and two churches. Penruddock originated in Celtic times, with the name derived from Pen, a Celtic name for 'hill' and 'rhuddawc' meaning red in Welsh to reflect the reddish brown colour of the soil found in the area. Nearby, the popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the north of the Lake District and has plenty to offer, boasting numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, some good parks, the Century Theatre, a charming cinema and the beautiful lake. Penruddock provides easy access to the spectacular surrounding Cumbrian countryside which can be explored by both car and on foot, and with the southern Lakes, Solway Coast and Hadrian's Wall all within easy motoring distance this great location has plenty to see and do for all the family.

Previous visitors' comments about Mell Fell View:
Great location for North Lake District, Great countryside for when the hills flatten out. Everything went to plan with Sykes cottages and the owner of the cottage.
Mr Garnham, Ipswich, December 2012
The location was good to access the mountains in the North West of the Lake District. We climbed Helvelyn, Skidoor, Blan Cathra and Ullswater. We accessed a good outdoor activity centre within 4 miles offering horse riding, shooting, quad biking etc. Fairly easy access to villages and towns around Ullswater in particular. Good access to M6 so we could access Carlisle and Hadrian's Wall.
Regarding the cottage - lovely selection of books and games to read and play with. Logs supplied for fire along with milk and a good selection of things eg tea/coffee/sugar etc which really was appreciated when we arrived. Being in the North East of the Lake District is an advantage if you don't like crowds of people. Apparently it's much less busy than the more southerly areas such as Kendal etc.

Excellent preparation of the cottage anticipating all our needs. The attention to the decor and cleanliness was outstanding
Mr Manning, Matlock, September 2011
We particularly enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the location. The views over the fell are spectacular and we would have no hesitation in booking the cottage again. It was lovely to see the many varieties of birds that visited the garden throughout the day.
