The Old Riggs Paddock is an excellent, large ground floor property in a stunning location just outside Penrith in Cumbia.

The property is spacious, clean, well equipped and surrounded by magnificent countryside. The large, living/dining/kitchen space with a stoned, underheated floor and wooden beamed ceiling give the property a real, ‘wow’ factor. There is a small-standalone annex connected to the main building, which is excellent if you have a young child in your party as we did. The directions to the property were one of the best we have come across with Sykes rentals, making it very easy to find even in the dark. Its very isolated so planning what you need for the stay in advance is highly recommended. Penrith and Keswick are easy to reach by car. We had a great weekend at Old Riggs Paddock even though the weather was not very kind to us.

A great holiday home, exceptionably large and comfortable.

We were four couples meeting for a college reunion. Perfect for us. Excellent location near M6. So many wonderful places to visit nearby, both walks and by car . The gorilla in the garden certainly provided some unusual photo opportunities!
