  • "Had a wonderful time staying at the hidden place, stayed for the Easter bank holiday and couldnt have asked for anything better."

    The view is amazing and it’s so private, apart from the sheep that like to come say hello

  • "Bed and living room furniture extremely uncomfortable."

    No tv channels available. Poor quality picture from dvd player. I had to SCRUB your oven tray clean as someone just put a sheet of tin foil over old food spilled on it which resulted in the oven smoking when we used it. Poor quality and quantity of dishcloths and dish cleaning materials given. Asking for the crockery to be clean and stored away with the materials provided is a joke. The road entrance to the property requires attention with grass scraping underneath my unmodified vw polo. The car is due its mot soon and if there is any damage caused by this I WILL be sending you the bill.

  • "Overall we enjoyed our stay, a couple of observations that would enhance the experience TV has limited stations, no BBC, possibly needs a signal booster?"

    The road leading to property has some big pot holes on the first part of the lane very uncomfortable experience

About the location

POOLEY BRIDGE

Penrith 6 miles.

The picturesque village of Pooley Bridge sits on the northerly edge of Lake Ullswater in the Lake District National Park. The name Pooley came to be due to the forming of a large pool, which was left by the fast flowing River Eamont, and the word Bridge was later added when a bridge, which is now 250 years old, was built over the river. Pooley Bridge has many traditional inns and tempting tea rooms, plus the Ullswater Steamers depart from the village, from where a tranquil cruise down the lake to the villages of Glenridding and Howtown can be enjoyed. There are numerous walks with breathtaking views nearby, plus a short walk up to Dunmallard Hill reveals fascinating Iron-Age remains, whilst the towns of Penrith and Keswick are within driving distance. Pooley Bridge is an ideal base for a cottage holiday stay in the stunning Lake District.
