“Absolutely perfect for 3 families of 4, we loved it.”

The kitchen was stocked with every kind of utensil possible, there was enough towels for all of us. The hot tub was amazing!!!! If you are looking for somewhere to eat, the crown inn at Kirk Oswald was unreal, fantastic food and very reasonable prices.

“We had a brilliant weekend stay here, would highly recommend.”

The house is beautiful in a fantastic location with wonderful views. There is plenty of space for everyone, lovely rustic features with all the mod cons. Very personal touch with check in. We hope to come back again at some point!
Miss Plimley March 2019

“Beautiful setting with walks straight out of the door.”

Cottage was comfortable and well-equipped although the addition of some sharp knives or a knife sharpener would be good. Management staff were helpful and responsive. The hot tub was very popular!
Mr Sinclair February 2019

“Lovely house, ideallic setting, really good sized hot tub.”

Walked in about 45 mins to Langwathby a nice village with a decent pub.
Ms Holland January 2019

“Such a lovely start to 2019 for eight work colleagues - super chilled.”

The house was so spacious and yet very homely and the hot tub was fabulous. Amazingly kitted out kitchen with everything you could need. Comfy beds and fabulous showers. Ideally placed for walks, tried the circular walk from Little Salkeld, 5 miles, was just enough. Sunday lunch at The George and Dragon, Clifton was divine. Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future

“Our family of ten people spent Christmas at Udford House and enjoyed the house it's amenities and rural location.”

The staff were very helpful and answered any questions we had very promptly. Will definitely recommend both the area and property

“Accomodation exceeded expectations.”

Lovely venue in a beautiful location. Private, clean and very spacious for a large group. Only drawback was no access to the central heating. The heating didn’t appear to come on during the day so it was cold and we were unable to access boiler/thermostat to adjust. Sykes cottages wouldn’t allow to take out accidental damage cover on the day of the booking, even though it was well before our check in time.

“The cottage is very remote and private.”

it is a very large property and had loads of room for everyone. The Bedrooms are very spacious and beds massive and very comfortable. We found the Wi-Fi worked perfectly and we was all connected to it. The kitchen had all of the pans, trays and utensils we needed. The biscuits, tea, coffee, milk and jams were a lovely addition to arrive to. The garden is very large and enclosed securely for the dog and children to run around in and the hot tub was massive, we all showered every time before we went in the hot tub but still found towards the end of the week it was getting a bit murky, could maybe do to put some chemicals in midway through a weeks stay to prevent this. The house is like a maze and we kept getting lost in and out of all of the doors :-) We had an issue with the heating as the weather turned very cold while we was there but they came and adjusted the heating and hot water within 15 minutes which was excellent service. we had some lovely walks but found we had to drive to the next village to start the walk as the roads leading to the cottage are about 2 miles long, but that was fine as we started and ended at the pub. The only other issue we had was the TV in the dining room wasn't working at all, not a massive issue but would have been nice to have the news on while we had breakfast. Also the showers trays didn't clear as quickly as would have liked and often made them overflow, these could do with looking at and maybe cleaning clearing but apart from that we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, perfect week away, perfect location and we had the perfect weather.

“Great cottage in a stunning location, lots of wildlife and nice big garden for the dogs.”

Lovely comfortable bedrooms. Unfortunately let down by some of the communal space, entertainment systems and NO WIFI!! We were 6 adults (this property actually sleeps 12). The dining table, although having chairs for 12, wouldn't comfortably seat more than about 8/10 adults. The lounge area was much smaller than expected, with two sofa's and one chair. Anymore than 6 adults in this room, would have started to feel very cosy..... (also soft furnishing were starting to look and feel very worn - rip in one seat and pet scratches on sofa uprights). The TV is quite dated and the sound kept going up and down throughout, making it very hard to hear programmes and the scart lead from TV to DVD was obviously very old and meant we had to watch our DVD's in black and white, as couldn't get colour on the TV. The property states it has WiFi - it doesn't (born out by other guests comments in visitors book and also staff member who confirmed we'd be really lucky to get it, they've been saying they are going to sort it for about 2 years now!) Laptops logged into router - but no internet connection! We wouldn't have booked this property if we had known there was no WiFi. If you advertise it, it should be provided! Two of our party are self employed and need to be connected at the start and end of each day! This meant instead of walking as a group as planned, two had to go and sit in MacDonalds in Penrith to do work during the day! Not what we'd all gone away for!! And when they did go back to the cottage, it was cold as guests don't seem to have any control over the heating, which was set to go off during the day and not come on until approx. 5pm. Hot tub was lovely, but again guests couldn't control the heat of the water. We have stayed in lots of cottages over the last eight years, this being the most expensive. If the above things were sorted, we would definitely return, as actual house and location was amazing, and we had a good time, despite the above complaints!
Miss Yang September 2018

“Really all round excellent stay.”

Hot tub was awesome and there were even towel robes provided! Comfy beds, very spacious, and everything we needed in the kitchen to cook a variety of tasty meals. My one complaint is that things were a little lacking on the technological side of things - the WiFi signal was very weak and patchy and often did not work. Eventually we had to stop using it and use our mobile data. Also, the TV in the main living room does not have an HDMI port which means we could not connect it to our computers / games consoles. I realize this is a pretty niche requirement though (sorry, we're nerds!), and apart from this everything was fantastic and we could not recommend it more. :)
Mrs Oliver September 2018

“Fabulous cottage in a lovely secluded location!”

Huge property with modern and clean bedrooms and bathrooms, great well equipped kitchen, and so cosy in the living room with the log fire, especially welcome in the colder months! Hot tub is fabulous, view out the back is amazing. The property is very remote and there was some confusion trying to find it but we got there in the end! Would be helpful if the website showed the actual property address rather than the check in address (which is a different building in the next village). If we'd have the proper address when we booked we would have had the right address to give Sainsbury's so we wouldn't have had to go out and find the delivery van haha! Overall a great stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again!
Miss Franks August 2018

“The house was really nice and clean.”

There was a hot tub and we all had bath robes which was an added bonus. The outside lights didn't work for the first day but we rang the man in charge of the building and he came round the next day to fix them for us which was great. Would definitely recommend, and we will be booking again.
Mrs Degirmenci August 2018

“There were many thoughtful touches which made our stay more comfortable, such as the bathrobes and towels, fresh milk in the fridge and jams and biscuits.”

The property was very spacious with plenty of space for 12 people. The only criticism was that the downstairs shower had a manky shower head and no lock meaning we only really had 2 bathrooms for 12 people; and the hot water ran out a couple of times but this was easily remedied by us staggering our showers through the day. Would definitely return!
Mrs Mason June 2018

“This is a beautiful cottage, perfect for our large family gathering.”

The hot tub was an absolute hit with the youngest (1 yr old) to the oldest (60 yr old) The lovely touches such as the free gift of a selection of jams and biscuits was much appreciated. Our only criticism would be that we couldn’t stay longer! Thank you!

The Rivers Eden and Eamont run by, the area is known for its fishing, as well as walking, cycling and climbing.

About the location

EDENHALL

Penrith 4 miles; Ullswater 12 miles.

The enchanting, unspoilt rural village of Edenhall is situated in the Eden Valley and is ideally placed for exploring the Lake District and the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Edenhall with its sandstone cottages and attractive scenery should be at the top of your holiday hit list if you're looking for a quaint and rural destination in Cumbria. The River Eden runs nearby and the area is renowned for its excellent trout and salmon fishing, along with walking, cycling, canoeing and climbing. Just four miles from Penrith, yet deep in the peaceful Eden countryside, Edenhall is a big hit for those in search of seclusion. Think single lane country roads flanked by time forgotten drystone, along with lofty sandstone houses beside stone-built terraces, the perfect place to relax and unwind amid the charming countryside. Down the road from Edenhall is Langwathby, another attractive Cumbrian village with a handful of country pubs serving fine fare and quality cask ales. The road to Langwathby is thought to be one of the prettiest in Cumbria and is regularly voted among the top ten scenic driving roads in the world. The Eden Gorge, between Lazonby and Armathwaite, is one of Cumbria's best-kept secrets, and is well worth exploring, plus the local railway station is a stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain. Within easy reach is Rheged, which provides an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema, whilst Brougham Castle, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England), Hadrian's Wall and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away. Visit Alston, the highest market town in England, or take a day trip to discover the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks.
