Description

Marwood is a charming detached holiday home situated near the Lake District National Park in Penrith, Cumbria.

With off-road parking for two cars, this delightful retreat is perfect for families or friends seeking a serene escape amidst stunning landscapes and endless outdoor adventures.

As you step into Marwood, you'll be welcomed by a generously sized kitchen, thoughtfully equipped to meet all your culinary needs throughout your stay.

Just off the kitchen, you'll find a convenient utility room complete with a washing machine and tumble dryer, ideal for those who are staying a little longer.

The living/dining area is undoubtedly the heart of the home, featuring a TV for entertainment and a gas fire that casts a lovely glow on those chillier evenings.

Whether you're gathering around the dining table for a hearty meal or plotting the day's adventures, this space invites relaxation and connection.

If you're seeking a bit of tranquility, slip away to the conservatory, where you can lose yourself in a book or simply take in the peaceful views of the enclosed rear garden.

Retire to one of the three inviting bedrooms when the day draws to a close.

The king-size bedroom benefits from an en-suite, offering a private haven for the adults.

The remaining rooms consist of a welcoming double and a single, ensuring a flexible sleeping arrangement for all.

A family bathroom, complete with a bath and shower over, serves these rooms, while an additional shower room provides extra convenience and helps ensure there are never any rushes or queues when it comes to getting ready.

Escape the calm of Marwood and immerse yourself in the history of Cumbria with a visit to Brougham Castle, a medieval fortress with picturesque views of the River Eamont.

Absorb the grandeur with a tour of the Dalemain Mansion & Historic Gardens, offering a glimpse into the past with its stately rooms and charming gardens.

Explore the revitalised Brougham Hall CIC, a true gem in the surrounding area that offers vibrant arts and craft shops within its medieval walls.

For a more leisurely day, stroll through the lush expanse of Castle Park, or solve the mystery of King Arthur’s Round Table, a Neolithic henge believed to be a legendary meeting point for knights.

End your day with a vigorous hike up Penrith Beacon, offering panoramic vistas of the Eden Valley and Lakeland Fells.

No matter your tastes, Penrith and its surroundings offer a wealth of adventure right from the doorstep of Marwood.

Discover all this and more whilst making wonderful memories at this stunning Cumbrian dwelling.

Nice spacious home with lots of bathrooms for plenty of guests.

The conservatory is large and bright giving extra space if needed. It’s a shame that recycling isn’t encouraged as the nearest drop off point is a long way from the house now.

Wont be going back, beds not made ready for the family on arrival absolutely no where to put clothes or suitcases in any of the rooms except the main bedroom.

had to physically build the spare bed and make up daughters bedding upon arrival, This is when we discovered that the property was not cleaned and dust on every surface. the ceiling light within the main bedroom was hanging on by the electrical wiring!! Their was a live stud sticking out of the wall socket in the hall way at the bottom of the stairs (which i had to cover with a piece of plastic and sellotape (240V) ). found a note to state that the downstairs shower was faulty and could not be used. there is also an issue with the tap in the kitchen which made an awful sound when any other tap was used in the house. the house its self was covered in antiquities on every shelf and surface. the dinning room chairs are broken and wobbly so 2 of our party had to sit in the conservatory. the garden was overgrown with nowhere to sit. the main hall way and rear kitchen door smelt of smoke and the discarded cigarette tabs on the floor around the rear kitchen door was not a pretty site. The TV in the living room was losing contrast and so was not pleasant to watch. There was also no replacement bin liners (which had to be Blue) or any work top/ surface spray at the property which we had to buy, The living room sofa was uncomfortable and sagged in the middle. All in all i would describe our stay as been forced to live in a house that was crossed between a care home and an Antiques shop!!

Well located and warm house on a quiet street with easy driveway parking.

Only a short walk from Morrisons and Booths supermarkets and Penrith town centre (which has a selection of shops, cafes and bars and a lovely little cinema). We enjoyed days out at Ullswater and Aira Force, Penrith Golf Hub, mountain biking in Whinlatter forest, and walking to Lacy's caves via Long Meg stone circle. We found the mattress on the bed in the master bedroom uncomfortable for two people as both rolled to the centre - so we made use of the spare single mattress under the bed in the single room.
