  • "Lovely property, comfortable and clean."

    No issues whatsoever.

  • "Clean, spacious, comfortable, dog-friendly property in quiet location ideally situated for exploring the northern Lake District."

    The property has all mod cons, a well equipped kitchen and generous provision of cutlery, crockery etc. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within a few minutes drive and a nice pub within a few minutes walk. We appreciated the small treats left for us and our dog. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again.

    The property had everything we needed for our weekend break and we would certainly book this again.

  • "What a great little find!"

    ! Such a homely comfortable and beautiful house. Everything you could need with facilities and household ‘equipment’. Bedrooms were large and spacious. Comfy beds and lovely bedding. Excellent pub for food down the road. The location was perfect for us as we always frequent Penrith, Keswick, Ullswater and surrounding areas. We have stayed in and around the area many times but never in such a lovely holiday house. We have a dog who we do crate at night and there was loads of room for her too. Secure front garden and friendly neighbour. Will definitely be staying again.

  • "One of the best cottages we have stayed in."

    Happy to recommend. Stairs were less steep than most cottages, rooms good size, clean and in good condition. Village is a good location but you do need to go everywhere in the car.

  • "Excellent property, a perfect location."

    Recommend the Sun Inn and Cranstons in Penrith for food every time! Will definitely be back.

  • "We had a wonderful stay at the cottage, it was so comfortable, it had everything we needed, the front garden was completely secure for our dog & good to be able to park out the back under the car port."

    We did some great walks & most of them were only 30mins away so the cottage was in a great location & it was very peaceful there. Can highly recommend staying here, will definitely be going back. Thank you very much.

  • "We literally had the best stay!"

    The cottage was clean, very comfy and had everything we needed. So many walks from your doorstep & the walk into Penrith was only about 45 mins. The little pub down the road did amazing food and everyone is super friendly. The only thing I would say is if you’re a light sleeper like me take some ear plugs… I take mine everywhere but this did not affect our stay one bit. All in all highly recommended and booking again for next year.

    ideally located for a trip to the coast, Lake Windermere and loads more places nearby. Cottage is very comfortable with a lovely enclosed garden and plenty of parking. Friendly village with The Sun Inn just a stones throw away ( dogs not allowed inside the pub but are welcome in the garden) Will definitely return to this home from home property and highly recommend it.

  • "My husband and I enjoyed our weeks stay in this fabulous cottage along with our dog."

    The cottage is warm and cosy, has everything you would possibly need and is well located away from the throngs of the Lakes and Northern Pennines but easy to get to. Everything was well thought out and provided for. Wi-Fi was great as we both had to log in for work for a few hours. Smart TV and the log fire meant a thoroughly relaxing winters evening. There are some books and games in the cottage too. Parking off road at the rear of the property and a short walk to the nearest pub (not dog friendly though) Highly recommend for couples or a small group/family and would book again. The Dog and Gun at Skelton is a must visit!

  • "Great place to stay!"

    The host was really friendly and welcoming! She had left a little basket of essentials with tea coffee milk biscuits and even some Prosecco in the fridge which was a lovely touch! The place has everything we needed for a lovely stay! The only slight downside is that one of the bedrooms are twin beds which was a little disappointing for 6 adults (3 couples) but this did not affect our stay! We would definitely return.

The property

Penrith 3.2 miles.

This charming, semi-detached property sits within the little hamlet of Newton Reigny, not far from the amenities of Penrith.

Set over two floors and sleeping up to six guests, 1 Springfort Cottages is a lovely base to call home while exploring the beautiful Lake District National Park and Eden Valley.

Off-road parking can be found at the rear of the property, before unloading your bags in the hallway and storing away any boots and coats.

After a long day of walking, look forward to curling up in the lounge, offering a sumptuous corner sofa and woodburning stove for your comfort, along with a Smart TV so you can stay updated with your favourite shows.

Rustle up a feast in the kitchen, amply equipped with all the essentials for a short break, including an electric range cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer and even a washing machine, so you won’t have to pack your whole wardrobe!

As you while away the hours, venture upstairs to the bedrooms, offering a king-size, double and twin, each neutrally presented and perfect for catching your rest.

After a restful night, meet your guests out in the rear patio where you can enjoy a morning coffee and discuss the plans for the day.

When you’re ready to explore, head into the town of Penrith where you will find the fascinating ruins of the once remarkable 14th century Penrith Castle, home to the future King Richard III, unravel history at the Penrith and Eden Museum, or venture to the Mayburgh Henge, with the historical sites of Eden Millennium Monument and the site of King Arthur’s Round Table closeby, before refuelling at a local restaurant or gastropub.

Head to the beautiful Lake Ullswater, surrounded by stunning scenery and gentle hills, it offers a wonderful spot for walking and enjoying water-based activities, including lake cruises and canoeing.

Take a sail on Lake Ullswater’s steamer just six miles away to explore the many valleys carved during the last Ice Ages, or scale the heights of Helvellyn and marvel at the wonderful views awarded at the summit.

Within the surrounding area there is still the magnificent town of Keswick to explore, home to many fascinating attractions such as the Derwent Pencil Museum, and the bustling city of Carlisle, home to the impressive 12th century Carlisle Castle.

However you choose to spend your precious holiday time, 1 Springfort Cottages offers a magnificent base, whatever time of year.

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.
