  • "A brilliant house for a large group, the kitchen especially is great for a large group working together and the two dishwashers - a game changer!"

    !! Very comfortable throughout and a real home from home, had everything you needed and the welcome box such a bonus. A big thank you to David and Collette for that little bit more that they provide.

  • "A lovely comfortable large house which was perfect for our large family group."

    It was extremely well equipped. Our grandchildren loved the trampoline and hot tub. The house was beautifully decorated with great artwork throughout and the garden was delightful. Ideal position within walking distance of Penrith centre and lots to do. We walked, hiked, ran, cycled, kayaked and visited a couple of castles during our week stay. The owners, Collette and David, were extremely helpful and friendly.

This impressive Victorian villa has been thoughtfully renovated, blending its historic charm with beautifully-appointed, contemporary and stylish decor.

Offering guests a taste of country house life, this is the perfect dwelling for large families or a group of friends looking to explore the wonders of Cumbria and the Lake District with their beloved canine companion.

After a day full of exploration, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home, find a welcoming sitting room, a snug and bar area, all boasting woodburning stoves so you can unwind and rest your feet.

The interior also houses a wonderfully-appointed kitchen with all the necessary appliances to rustle up a hearty meal that the whole family can enjoy at the dining table with room for everyone in front of the gentle warmth of the woodburning stove.

If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling venture into the heart of Penrith where you can stock up on essentials at the local stores or head to a local pub to toast your well-earned retreat including The Druid Arms, The Woolpack Inn or Dappers Bar.

The town is also home to the historic ruins of the 14th-century Penrith Castle; continue the historic excursion by visiting Brougham Castle, Clifton Hall or the breath-taking Lowther Castle and Gardens.

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.
