  • "1st impressions last and ours was that we loved this cosy little lodge with excellent facilities and hot tub, we're already planning our next trip back."

    PhillipJan 2026

  • "We booked this as had family staying in the connected property - Lonsdale Villa so was ideal for a large family Xmas."

    The lodge was as described, although a little tired in places and the kitchen was slightly lacking when it came to glasses and sharp knives, although this wasn’t really an issue for us as we spent most of the time next door. Property info says Alexa available but this didn’t work. Only downside, the property is on bottled gas. No info about this in the info pack and we came back in the early hours and the gas had run out so we were trying to change the gas bottle over, in the dark. The owners were quick to respond and apologise but I think people should be aware and what to do if the gas does run out.

    Angela, many thanks for your feedback. All points noted. Massive apologies about the gas, this actually should not happen as there should always be a full bottle ready as automatic back up. Clearly our maintenance people had not set up correctly. We had just had new fibre wifi installed and it appears that the alexa had not been re set. Appreciate the feedback and by way of an apology can we drop £50 back to you. And anytime you wish to book again offer you 25% discount. Many thanks again for staying with us Property Owner

  • "Went for a girly chillout weekend."

    Arrived late so didn't really see the lodge. What a great place, must say easier to access in a smaller car as I have a 4x4. The hot tub and patio area are fabulous, the grounds well maintained. The property was well stocked. It was an ideal Base for our adventures and Penrith is a lovely little town. The slightly late check out was greatly appreciated as well

  • "We stayed here for a couple days in August and it was honestly THE best experience!"

    I booked The Hermitage for my partners birthday and bought along our furry companion Willow for the journey. We would not stop smiling as soon as we got there. The whole property is absolutely stunning! Even Willow could not stop doing zoomies from how happy she was! Upon entry we saw a lovely bottle of wine and biscuits laid out for us which was so sweet. There are many board games, a lovely TV, and anything you need to have a comfortable stay. The hot tub is the BEST after a long day out, laying back and looking up was just the most relaxing thing, in such a beautifully decorated space. I did have a little trouble figuring stuff out with the hot tub since I am not used to it and straight away the owners answered happily to answer any questions I had. Super helpful and super friendly! I am so happy we came here, and will definitely be coming back again, just an absolutely perfect place owned by the most loveliest people! Thank you SO much x Romy, Dillon and Willow

  • "We booked "The Hermitage" as a girls trip away, the location is beautiful, it is on the grounds of a big house and it is very well kept."

    We didn't have any "problems" with our stay, it was gorgeous, but we do have a few reccomendations. There are signs saying "Hot tub use prohibited after 10pm" out of respect for their neighbours, however someone local was playing guitar until 12pm... When we got there, they could've provided one starter loo role as we hadn't been shopping yet and couldnt use the bathroom after a 2hr drive. Cleaner, you need to explore the bedroom roof and bed for cobwebs as there was so many dusty cobwebs. Owners were nice, we didn't meet them but they checked in and messaged. :-)

  • "Lovely stay in the Hermitage."

    Everything was exactly as described and the owners were very helpful. Great place to relax. Thank you for having us.

    JacobOct 2024

  • "Lovely log cabin."

    Owners very friendly and approachable. Had to call them to get instructions for access to property on arrival. Property clean, comfortable and had plenty of facilities. Hot tub lovely too. Only negative is that the outdoor area looks a little dated and none of the outdoor lights worked apart from the one off the kitchen. However, this didn't spoil our stay.

    michelle, thank you for your review much appreciated. we take on board your comments and will ensure better lights and or new ones are fitted. Property Owner

The property

The Hermitage is a welcoming two-bedroom lodge situated within the private one-acre grounds of Lonsdale Villa Retreat, located in the centre of Penrith, offering a rare sense of space and tranquillity for such a central location.

Nestled within the gardens of an old Victorian manor house, the lodge enjoys a peaceful, leafy setting while remaining within easy walking distance of Penrith’s shops, pubs, eateries, and historic attractions.

The Hermitage can also be booked in conjunction with Lonsdale Villa, accommodating groups of up to 18 guests and allowing them to enjoy the entire retreat for special occasions or extended family gatherings.

Arrive via the shared driveway and make your way to your private lodge, where an open-plan living space awaits.

The well-equipped kitchen, dedicated dining area, and inviting sitting area create a relaxed environment for unwinding after days spent exploring the Lake District.

Soft lighting and the gentle glow of the electric fire set the tone for quiet evenings in, while the decked veranda offers the perfect spot for alfresco dining.

As the sun sets, slip into the private hot tub and enjoy a peaceful soak surrounded by the mature gardens of the estate.

Two thoughtfully presented bedrooms, a double and a twin, provide a space to end each day, served by a modern shower room.

With Penrith town centre just a short stroll away, you’ll find everything you need on your doorstep, from independent shops and cafés to the Penrith and Eden Museum, Penrith Castle, and Thacka Beck Nature Reserve.

History lovers can explore Brougham Castle and Mayburgh Henge, while the wider Lake District offers endless adventures.

Head to Keswick for museums, watersports on Derwentwater, and scenic walking routes, or visit Aira Force near Ullswater for breath‑taking woodland trails and waterfalls.

Carlisle also lies within reach, offering a vibrant mix of culture, dining, and heritage sites, including Carlisle Castle and the cathedral.

With its unique setting, spacious grounds, The Hermitage offers a memorable stay in the heart of Penrith.

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.
