Location: Armathwaite

Penrith 11 miles.

The attractive, unspoilt rural village of Armathwaite is ideally placed for exploring the Lake District, Eden Valley and the lovely coastline of the Solway Firth. The village has two old pubs, both with popular restaurants serving excellent food, a village Post Office and a traditional village shop. The River Eden runs through the centre of the village, and the area is renowned for its excellent salmon fishing, plus walking, canoeing and climbing. Armathwaite Castle, by the river, is a four-storey Pele Tower, and the 15th Century Church has fine examples of stained glass windows. The Eden Gorge, between Lazonby and Armathwaite, is one of Cumbria's best-kept secrets, and is well worth exploring. The local railway station is a stop on the Settle-to-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and where today many old steam trains still wend their way through some of the finest countryside in Britain. The Rheged Discovery Centre in Penrith is the "largest grass covered building in the country" or you might like to visit Dalemain Historic House, featured in a television production of Jane Eyre.

Previous visitors' comments about 2 Eden Grove Cottages:

Where do I start! The whole holiday was fantastic, even when it rained I loved the sound of rain on the roof whilst we were so warm and comfortable in bed at night. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped, as was the store house for the logs for the fire, although we only used it once as the house was warm and cosy enough! The TV/DVD was good although the height of it in our humble opinion warranted it being a little larger screen than it was but that, if any, is the only tiny thing we would have changed, everything else was fantastic! Thank you to the owners for your fabulous attention to detail! We hope to return again! It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Many many thanks again! See you again, if you'll have us!

The property was spotless. Excellent size kitchen/dining area and lounge to accommodate 6 adults. 2 local pubs/hotels serving great food. Ideally placed to visit Cumbria and the Lakes and with great walking straight from the door. Lovely log burning stove.
Miss Ward, Cottingham, September 2011

We found the cottage was very comfortable. Armathwaite is a lovely village having two good pubs for food and a village shop and post office. Also, there are superb walks close by and not far from Carlisle or the Lakes for visiting.
