Mr Mellors
October 2020

“What a fantastic place , lovely walks with the dog , super cozy with the log burner on”

- Mr Mellors, October 2020
Mr Lister October 2020

“Very unfriendly neighbour who shouted and swore at me for parking on a public road outside his house.”

I am registered disabled with a blue badge and life is difficult enough without unpleasant people making you feel unwelcome on holiday. The inputs on the television had been incorrectly setup where we originally assumed the aerial must have been broken. It was day 3 when got the television to work properly. The mattresses were too thin on slat beds, especially for someone who is disabled in chronic pain. No enclosed garden for dogs - very disappointing not worth £640.00 a week in October...

- Mr Lister, October 2020
Mrs Henebery July 2020

“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.

- Mrs Henebery, July 2020
Mrs Norvock September 2019

“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.

- Mrs Norvock, September 2019
Mrs Swift September 2019

“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.

- Mrs Swift, September 2019
nikchapman August 2019

“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.

- nikchapman, August 2019
Mrs Turner-wilson June 2019

“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!

- Mrs Turner-wilson, June 2019
Mrs Wright February 2019

“Cottage was warm and comfortable.”

Location was good for amenities and walks.

- Mrs Wright, February 2019

“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.

- 37Teresa1969, September 2018

Mrs Fleming July 2018

“Lovely comfortable cottage - immaculate linen and good beds.”

Everthing provided and more than some cottages. Welcome plate included dog chew! Great location with dog friendly local pubs. The Carlisle/Settle railway station is just up the road and is the perfect way to travel. Beautifully maintained station .Would recommend staying at 2 Eden Grove.

- Mrs Fleming, July 2018

- Mrs Yorke, June 2018
Mr Turner June 2018

“The house was in a very good location quiet and off the road ...”

The house was in a very good location quiet and off the road The house had every thing you could ever need and more it was like home from home The dogs especially love the woodland walk just to the side the river With very friendly neighbours making for a very pleasant break Thank you

- Chapman, May 2018
Mrs Flowers May 2018

“Beautiful cottage set in the lovely village of Armathwaite.”

We spent our Golden wedding anniversary with the family . It's spacious, well equipped with 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets. Spotlessly clean and hope to stay again. Thank you Rachel for making us so welcome!

- Mrs Flowers, May 2018
Mrs Neaves May 2018

“A really well equipped cottage, the owners have thought of everything you could need when not in your own home for a week.”

The village is quiet, in a beautiful setting with the river Eden only 5 minutes away. Our two dogs settled in quickly and enjoyed the local footpaths. The village shop is very useful and friendly as are the two pubs.

- Mrs Neaves, May 2018
Dr Rostami April 2018

“We stayed here for our wedding in Armathwaite.”

It is a lovely cottage in the perfect location. It is very well kitted out and Rachel made sure we were well looked after! For us in particular, we would have liked to have more storage space and wardrobe space, but that's because we had a lot of wedding things! Also, be careful about parking off street, unfortunately someone keyed one of our cars while we were there. This is of course not a reflection on the excellent cottage and host herself.

- Dr Rostami, April 2018
AshleighA940 February 2018

“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.

- janlamb21, December 2017
Mr White December 2017

“Great cottage well equipped warm and comfortable for our new year break .”

the only tiny problem we had was we arrived later than expected and found the cottage a little hard to find as it wasnt that clearly marked ,even asked . 3 of neighbours where it was otherwise agreat time was had.

- Mr White, December 2017
Mrs Colverd October 2017

Chris07176 July 2017

“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.

- Chris07176, July 2017
Dr Simon July 2017

“Lovely cottage, just what we wanted despite that fact that I had to book it at the last minute.”

- Dr Simon, July 2017

“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.

- nikchapman, May 2017
Mrs Lucas April 2017

“The cottage was lovely, it had everything you needed for a self catering holiday.”

The 2 village pubs were lovely, great food. The walk around Coomb woods is lovely, the dogs loved it especially swimming in the River Eden.

- Mrs Lucas, April 2017
Climber568958 December 2016

“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.

- Climber568958, December 2016
Mr Drake October 2016

“The location of the cottage was excellent; with Penrith & Ullswater very close by.”

The owners had gone to a lot of trouble making sure that the cottage was well fitted out & presented. We would not hesitate to book again

- Mr Drake, October 2016
nikchapman July 2016

“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.

Within easy reach of Carlisle with plenty of shops and places to eat.

- Mrs Caldwell, September 2012
Miss Ward September 2011

“The property was spotless.”

Excellent size kitchen/dining area and lounge to accommodate 6 adults. 2 local pubs/hotels serving great food. Ideally placed to visit Cumbria and the Lakes and with great walking straight from the door. Lovely log burning stove.

- Miss Ward, September 2011
Mrs Seastron September 2011

“Where do I start!”

The whole holiday was fantastic, even when it rained I loved the sound of rain on the roof whilst we were so warm and comfortable in bed at night. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped, as was the store house for the logs for the fire, although we only used it once as the house was warm and cosy enough! The TV/DVD was good although the height of it in our humble opinion warranted it being a little larger screen than it was but that, if any, is the only tiny thing we would have changed, everything else was fantastic! Thank you to the owners for your fabulous attention to detail! We hope to return again! It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Many many thanks again! See you again, if you'll have us!

- Mrs Seastron, September 2011

“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.

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.
