“Cottage required updating.”

“Pros: Great views,large bathroom,comfy bed and Penruddock is an excellent position to explore the Lake District, especially the northern end.”

Cons: The fridge/freezer is just a fridge with a small freezer compartment inside the fridge which wasn't very good as we had done our shopping before checking in only to find we couldn't fit it in the compartment. The electric heating is controlled by the owner who asked us to text if we needed it turning up or down.It was rather cool in the evenings a few times but we didn't feel we could text him around 9.30 pm to turn it up and it was too late to light the log burner .We felt we should be able to control the heating.

“Couldn't fault this cottage at all, had everything we needed.”

Very clean and cosy, abundant kitchen utensils and a nice complimentary bottle of red wine. Perfect base location for exploring the lakes. Will definitely be booking again.

“Perfect cottage, perfect setting”

This cottage has everything required for the perfect holiday. Very cosy with the log burner and spotlessly clean. In the kitchen there were plenty of utensils and much to my delight a can opener that did the job and a frying pan that didn't stick. The views from the window looking across the field with lambs in towards Mell Fell was beautiful. Even though the A66 not far away it was still very peaceful. The Herdwick Inn is so close and the road so quiet you can totter back to the cottage in safety.

“Peaceful and picturesque.”

We stayed here for a week over Easter. The cottage is down a quiet lane with great views. The only down side to the cottage is no washing machine and the fire was difficult to keep going. My husband had a similar fire himself and was used to lighting them but it needs a coke base. It was very cold with snow on the ground and we needed the fire at night. Would recommend this place for a quiet break, plenty of walks available without having to drive anywhere. The Herdwick Inn was good for meals but very quiet at night later on.

“Pretty cottage with stunning views”

Lovely cottage, very clean & tidy. Excellent well equiped kitchen, comfy lounge with stove (a must!). Spacious bedroom with lovely view of hills beyond and very big bathroom! Excellent location, very peaceful and relaxing, a total recharge. Liked everything but feel a washing machine would be a bonus!

“Laid back quiet break from everyday rush.”

The cottage itself is very well appointed and quiet. The main bed was extremely comfortable and we got a real good night's sleep each night. There was an amazing variety of birds in the back garden,as a keen photographer of wildlife I took a great many pictures. The nearby Pub did excellent meals as we didn't want to do too much cooking,although the kitchen was well equipped. The bathroom was enormous!! It is within easy reach of all the main centres as long as you have transport. The directions to it were faultless and contact with the owner was first class.

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.
