"Lovely comfortable well furnished cottage."
The river setting is wonderful. Had a great week exploring the lakes hiking walking. Would have 5 stars but sadly the road noise was a tad irritating. The M6 north bound was shut for 2 nights with 40 ton lorries passing every 30 seconds throughout the night. Overall would recommend to family and friends
Hello Anthony. We are so pleased you had a great week. Thank you for your complimentary comments about our cottage, they are very much appreciated. The knock on effects from the M6 road works are irritating for everyone in the area, sorry for the bad timing on your behalf. Best wishes, Derek & Gillian Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage by the river."
Well equipped and comfortable. The only negative was that it is right next to the bridge, which see some heavy traffic during the day. But overall, a fantastic place to stay.
Hi David. We are so glad that you thought River Cottage was fantastic and you enjoyed your stay. Part of the cottage's attraction is the location next to the river and historic bridge, which we do highlight in the photos. However the volume of traffic using the bridge does vary and hopefully most times is not too obtrusive. Kind regards, Derek & Gillian Property Owner

"Lovely cottage near the river, disappointed the weather didn’t allow us to sit outside."
Very well equipped with everything you would/will need. The only negative is the road noise especially if like us you are a light sleeper. Two nice pubs in the village only 5 minute walk away.

Your home away from home
River Cottage is a pretty terraced cottage with a garden running down to the River Eamont and centrally located between Ullswater and bustling Penrith with its shops, bars and restaurants, the gateway to the North Lakes. This character cottage with original beams and exposed stone walls is a light and airy cost-effective getaway destination for a couple and their dog who want to be able to explore the Lake District in comfort at any time of the year. River Cottage has a village location, but as you walk in from the outside you'll step into a lovely and character-filled room with a large feature fireplace, gas fire and exposed stone wall.
There's comfortable seating and picture windows plus a TV.
Through to the light-filled conservatory, where you can dine looking out over the garden to the river, to the fully equipped modern kitchen.
Upstairs there's a lovely light and airy super king size bedroom, and the wet room with shower, washbasin and WC completes the accommodation. Outside there's off road parking for 1 car at the side of the property and then a patio with garden furniture at the rear.
The lawn leads right down to the river's edge and the views towards the old stone bridge. The pretty little village of Eamont Bridge has not one but two ancient stone henges, King Arthur's Round Table and Mayburgh Henge.
Nearby Yanwath Hall is reputed to be the finest manorial hall in the entire country.
There's also a pub within a few minutes' walk of the cottage. Just minutes from the A6 and M6, the lively town of Penrith is virtually on the doorstep with its shops, bars, restaurants, swimming pool and cinema.
For lovers of the Lakes, Ullswater is a short drive away and there are riverside walks easily accessible from River Cottage.
If you're keen to explore the best of the North Lakes and the Cumbrian coast beyond, River Cottage is a comfortable and cosy cottage where you can recharge your batteries with an inexpensive Lakeland break throughout the year
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
Where you’ll be staying
PENRITH
Keswick 17 miles; Carlisle 20 miles.
The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle, Brougham Hall (The Windsor of the North), Lowther Castle and Gardens, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
