  • "Me and my boyfriend stayed here over valentine’s, as soon as we walked in we could smell how clean it was."

    such a beautiful location and very private! the only small thing we realised was that there was water leaking from behind the toilet, we weren’t sure if it was condensation or coming from the toilet directly but it didn’t make a difference to our stay :))

    Hello Victoria, So pleased you had such a lovely stay and it’s a particularly romantic spot for Valentine’s. If you thought there was a problem with the toilet, we would have been happy to come and sort it for you at the time of your stay! To some extent every property owner relies on guests to say if something isn’t right because we only get to see the property between changeovers. All properties can get condensation, we find opening a window just for a short time will sort that out. All the best, Kate. Property Owner

  • "We stayed on the 12th of February and what a lovely place to stay."

    The accommodation was spotless. It was the first time we used a hot tub and the weather was cold. We went from lukewarm to boiling the family jewels in an hour and a half. The location is secluded and well laid out. If you are into walking it’s right on your doorstep. We will book again and advise anyone thinking of staying in the area to consider The Gardner’s retreat.

    Hello Timothy, Thank you so much for your lovely comments and so glad you enjoyed the hot tub. It’s so easy to use and much better for the environment. We look forward to seeing you again soon. All the best, Kate and the team, Property Owner

About the location

PENRUDDOCK

Keswick 11 miles; Penrith 6 miles.

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 Theatre by the Lake, 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, Eden Valley, Solway Coast and Hadrian's Wall all within easy motoring distance this great location has plenty to see and do for all the family.

Please note: Not suitable for children, outside patio is suitable for wheelchair users as level access. Sorry No tub tub towels provided. Starter wood is supplied for first night
