  • "We had an absolutely wonderful stay and have all fallen a little in love with the Lake District!"

    The Nook had everything we could have hoped for, with plenty of space both inside and out. The handy instructions meant we quickly got to grips with the basics of Aga cooking, although the glorious weather meant that the barbeque saw more action that it usually might in May. Our first visit but I suspect not our last. Thanks for a great holiday.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are really glad that you enjoyed the property and all that it has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Owner Relations Expert Property Owner

About the location

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.
