Description
River Cottage is a pretty terraced cottage with a garden running down to the River Eamont and centrally located between Ullswater and bustling Penrith with its shops, bars and restaurants, the gateway to the North Lakes.
This character cottage with original beams and exposed stone walls is a light and airy cost-effective getaway destination for a couple and their dog who want to be able to explore the Lake District in comfort at any time of the year.
River Cottage has a village location, but as you walk in from the outside you'll step into a lovely and character-filled room with a large feature fireplace, gas fire and exposed stone wall. There's comfortable seating and picture windows plus a TV. Through to the light-filled conservatory, where you can dine looking out over the garden to the river, to the fully equipped modern kitchen. Upstairs there's a lovely light and airy super king size bedroom, and the wet room with shower, washbasin and WC completes the accommodation.
Outside there's off road parking for 1 car at the side of the property and then a patio with garden furniture at the rear. The lawn leads right down to the river's edge and the views towards the old stone bridge.
The pretty little village of Eamont Bridge has not one but two ancient stone henges, King Arthur's Round Table and Mayburgh Henge. Nearby Yanwath Hall is reputed to be the finest manorial hall in the entire country. There's also a pub within a few minutes' walk of the cottage.
Just minutes from the A6 and M6, the lively town of Penrith is virtually on the doorstep with its shops, bars, restaurants, swimming pool and cinema. For lovers of the Lakes, Ullswater is a short drive away and there are riverside walks easily accessible from River Cottage.
If you're keen to explore the best of the North Lakes and the Cumbrian coast beyond, River Cottage is a comfortable and cosy cottage where you can recharge your batteries with an inexpensive Lakeland break throughout the year

What guests are saying
Beautiful cottage with lovely view over the river.
Ideally situated for the lakes & lovely & warm to return to after blustery days out! Everything you could need for your stay is provided. Very clean, & the one issue we had with the bedding was quickly sorted by the owners (who seem lovely). If i had to find one area that could be improved would be the mattress is too soft, not good for a bad back
While this cottage has a lovely setting and it's proximity to the river was beautiful there is without doubt that it is an extremely fast flowing river with a VERY strong current-even the ducks found it difficult to swim againstso we obviously did not let our dog out in the garden without a collar and lead on.
He has never seen ducks before and each time he did he strained to get into the water-so of course he was supervised at all times. The overriding factor to us never booking River Cottage again, was the traffic-it was CONSTANT and I mean CONSTANT. It just never stopped and we wonder how the local people live with it. On our first Saturday night I was still awake a 2am due to the boy racer cars and motorbikes going over the bridge for hours. The roadworks around Penrith are horrendous and even the locals are finding it difficult to navigate and they had leaflet drops explaining it to them. Sorry but we won't be back but it's not a reflection on the cottage-just it's location
We had a wonderful stay at River Cottage, the location on the river was beautiful and only a short distance from the lovely town.
The cottage was equipped with everything you would need and was beautifully presented. The furniture was comfortable and access to Netflix & Prime was an unexpected surprise. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely be back. Debbie & Terry x
