“Location, within walking distance to local amenities.”

Penrith and Carlisle not far away. Cottage was homely and set in a quiet part of Armathwaite. Hidden gem.

“Everything about the cottage was as listed, but it was the little things like toilet rolls , washing up liquid, a packet of biscuits, teabags that made the difference.”

Also I spoke to the owner before we left and she was so helpful and friendly. It's a lovely comfy cottage where you can relax and feel at home.

“The owner was very helpful and gave a few recommendations for the area.”

Much appreciated.Thank you Rachel. This property is well situated in a quiet village not far for to go the lakes, the Dales or Scotland. It is very well equipped for 6 people, cosy and comfortable. Locals and neighbours very friendly, felt like home from home.

“Already booked for next year.....”

Really enjoying our spring stays in The Eden Valley and would not look using this place as our base. The house is clean quirky and comfortable and the host is really easy to deal with. Armathwaite has two great pubs and lots of walks without needing to get into the car, The Lake district is only a 45 mins drive away. Can't wait till next Spring.

“We loved the inside of the cottage and the facilities were great.”

The very small courtyard is shared with three other cottages and is not suitable for a larger dog or for having a BBQ. Also access to the cottage is via a small gate and you can’t park the car near to the entrance - not good in bad weather!

“Cottage was warm and comfortable.”

Location was good for amenities and walks.

“Very clean, comfortable, well equipped cottage.”

“Ms”

Lovely well equipped cottage that is a very good base for Cumbria, Yorkshire and Scotland. The village is very friendly, great local shop that sells everything and a post Office where you can withdraw cash. There are two very good dog friendly pubs in the village which are a short walk from the cottage. There are also some lovely walks for the walkers. 10/10 all round.

“Beautiful Cottage .. Will definitely stay again!”

Lovely, well equipped cottage in the beautiful village of Armathwaite. We visited for my birthday Fri - Mon. Everything we needed was there. Even a complimentary pint of milk! 6 of us stayed for 3 nights but wished we could have stayed longer! Bedrooms were abit of a squeeze .. 3 bedrooms all 3 with double beds, 1 huge bath (great for a bubble bath after a long walk!), 3 toilets so with 6 adults there was no arguing for the bathroom! Neighbours and locals were very friendly and often came over whilst we were in the pubs to chat to us. The village Post Office is open 7 days a week (reasonable prices too!) 2 pubs within walking distance, both dog friendly.. the Dukes Head wins out of the two I must say! Overall, we all said we would definitely return to the delightful Eden Grove cottage! Thank you Rachel! :)

“A perfect cottage in a perfect location.”

Lovely location, the cottage has everything that you could possibly need. The village has two lovely pubs that serves food, has log fires and friendly staff. There is a village shop / post office that sells pretty much everything you would need. Also we were delighted to find that the village pubs are both dog friendly. All in all a fantastic Christmas stay. Would most definitely recommend.

“Excellent”

I booked this on the last minute for a surprise family weekend to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday, but it turned out to be the perfect place. Spacious, extremely well-appointed, very clean, and full of character. The cottage is situated in a small courtyard with very friendly neighbours, and good on-road parking. The pre-stay information and instructions from Rachel, the owner, were detailed and helpful. Armathwaite is a lovely village with two nice pubs and a shop just a short walk away, and is well situated for exploring the surrounding area. We'd definitely stay again.

“Second Stay”

Second visit in 2 years to this wonderful part of Cumbria and I very much doubt it will be our last. Rachel, the owner was very easy to deal with and answers all enquiries promptly and without pressure. We were able to tag on a couple of days extra which was very much appreciated. It has a large kitchen diner, a large sitting room and three good sized double bedrooms. The 2 pubs and the River Eden are all under 1/4 mile away. Fantastic walks from the village or only 30 mins drive from The Lake District. The village is also a stop on the historic Carlisle to Settle railway. Can't wait to return.

“Perfect retreat for a quiet get together with friends”

Quirky courtyard belies the very tasteful and very well equipped cottage. We were very comfortable and agreed we'd love to return.

“Charming property”

My wife and I and our dog stayed in the cottage for a week in June 2016. This is our 3rd stay in the village and the first time we have stayed in this cottage. I doubt that it will be our last visit. The information we received post booking was very helpful and the owner clearly cares about the service they deliver as well as the local area. The photographs on the website don’t actually do the property justice. Its a very quirky charming character building that has been renovated to a very high standard. Its' situated in a very quiet part of the village which is well located for walking to the pubs, shop and the local beauty spots. It has 3 genuine double rooms and plenty of space if you wish for a quiet moment. Its limited on outside space but the local area more than compensates for that. The village itself is a wonderful base for The Lake District but without the cramped feel. I couldn't find it lacking on any count. We shall return.

“Hidden Gem”

Lovely cottage in the middle of the village. Local, pubs (2) within a very short stroll and village shop had everything we needed for the week. Cottage very well equipped for self catering week. Cold on arrival but warmed up once the log fire lit. We even entertained our friends one evening in style. Beds comfy and bedrooms cosy. Took the train to Settle for the day and that was an amazing trip. Great scenery and lots to see in Settle. Worth doing.

“A wonderful stay in a wonderful cottage, would recommend!”

My Fiance and I stayed in the cottage for 4 nights prior to getting married in Gretna Green in March. The cottage was absolutely perfect, very well kitted out, very cosy and well located. The owner was very excited that we had chosen their cottage to stay in for our 'pre marriage honeymoon' and even sent us a lovely wedding card ! Very thoughtful. Would thoroughly recommend this property.

“Very Relaxing Holiday!”

We had a wonderful holiday and the cottage was clean & Tidy, stocked with all the essentials and had plenty of logs to keep the aga and fire running. The location was peaceful and had a great wee shop and two wonderful pubs and both dog friendly.

About the 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.
