  • "Lovely cottage in peaceful and tranquil Edenhall."

    A great location for walks and for accessing Langwathby and the wider Eden valley area. We really enjoyed a great week here.

  • "This was a comfy cosy cottage."

    I did not realise on booking it that the cottage is NOT as stated in Langwathby but over a mile away at Edenhall. Beware of this on booking. The parking was an issue for us and because of this we would not book again. Overall the cottage was well equipped and comfortable in a beautiful area. There could have been a lot more information on the cottage and appliances and more information on places to see and visit. The information book was very sparse. We had a relaxing stay.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you found the cottage to be comfortable, cosy, well equipped and in a beautiful area. The cottage is described by Sykes as being situated in Edenhall, close to Langwathby 1.1 miles away. Parking is also described as being road side. A number of leaflets are available in the cottage providing information on places of interest and local visitor attractions and the guest folder provides more specific information on amenities, places to eat in the immediate locality / details of doorstep walks etc. We will however further review the information already provided and expand upon that if considered necessary.

  • "What a lovely home away from home!"

    10mins from central Penrith, overlooking a quiet green complete with grazing sheep…idyllic! Comfy beds, good sized rooms and and overall warm and welcoming cottage for anyone. We stayed here for one month with our toddler and would have happily stayed longer. If you’re thinking about staying here, just do it!

    Thank you so much for your fabulous review Chris. We are so pleased you were happy and comfortable in the cottage. It was a pleasure to be able to accommodate you all before you move on to pastures new Wishing you all the very best in the chapter ahead! kindest regards Kathryn Property Owner

  • "The cottage is located in a lovely quiet spot overlooking a field, it was so peaceful."

    The cottage is beautifully decorated and very cosy. Great location for visiting the beautiful towns in the Lake District. Only a 5 min drive to Penrith, which has everything you need. Would recommend this cottage and would definitely stay here again.

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Ivy Cottage, it is everything you expect it to be and more."

    Its in a lovely, quiet village with walks from the doorstep. The cottage was very comfortable, tastefully furnished, super comfy beds, lovely bathroom and a cute rear garden to relax in at the end of a busy day exploring the Lakes. Kathryn, our host, was lovely and on hand should we have needed to contact her. I would highly recommend Ivy Cottage, it's not often I say I would go back somewhere again as I like to discover new accomodation and places, but I will most definitely be booking again to stay at Ivy Cottage.

    Well lit and nicely decorated through out. The amenities provided were more than enough for a short stay. Well situated as well ads we were able to quickly explore the Ullswater cruise. Will definitely rebook and recommend to friends who would like to visit the area.

  • "The cottage was lovely and in the perfect location being set in a beautiful quiet village with only the birdsong for company."

    Being early 18th century, the walls are about 2 feet thick, so would be cosy even in the worst weather (not that we had any). We had everything we needed for a wonderful week.

    Lovely to hear you had a wonderful week in the cottage Allan enjoying the peace and tranquility of our beautiful village, Edenhall! Thank you for taking the time to post such a super review. Best wishes Kathryn ☺️ Property Owner

    It had a warm and cosy feeling to it, like a home from home. We were warmly welcomed by Kathryn, the owner, and a special thanks for the very much appreciated welcome pack. Loved the local walk along the river and Eden estate where we saw a red squirrel, roe deer and a tree creeper. Also enjoyed a visit to Aira Force waterfall and Pooley Bridge.
