Edencroft

Excellent property and facilities of a high standard.

Lots of thought given to customer’s needs on a Lake District holiday. Only negative was an ever dripping tap in the kitchen. This was annoying but a very small problem.

Yet another wonderful stay at Edencroft -a lovely home from home cottage.

Has lovely walks on the doorstep and the cottage is well equipped. Love the table tennis. On arrival, the oven was not working properly, I called the phone number provided (property care-taker / owner) and the oven was fixed later that day - thank you for arranging the engineer to come out so promptly, it was greatly appreciated.

Second visit, very happy with accommodation and equipment, same as the first time.

Only slight criticism is that it could cater for disabled people a bit better for example grab rail in shower or shower seat. Also loose rugs in hallway and passage could be a potential trip hazard. Overall very happy would stay again and would thoroughly recommend for a quiet and comfortable holiday. The four amigos.

Lovely warm bungalow, well equipped.

Garden rather over grown.

Edencroft was an incredible house to rent & stay.

There where just a couple of issues; they Set of Keys where not supplied, 1 of the French doors wouldn’t lock properly and the bushes at the entrance need to be pruned. On the whole it was a Great experience which we hope to repeat. Many thanks to all involved in giving us a great experience. Regards

The drive and foot path could do with a jet wash there is a lot of muck from the birds and animals and you can not afford bringing it in on your shoes

Edencroft surpassed our expectations.

It is a lovely home-from-home in a tranquil rural setting. Every requirement has been thought of and met. It was the perfect base for our touring throughout the Lakes.

Lovely house, only a couple of improvements I could think of - perhaps a mattress topper on the king size bed as a bit firm, and a soap dish / shelf in the twin room shower.

Red squirrel made an appearance on our last morning, much to our delight. Table tennis table a welcome addition, providing a little exercise and much hilarity.

One of the best, our second visit everything as before,perfect accommodation in beautiful location.

What more do you need. Pity about the weather but that's in somebodies else hands We shall be returning next year. Regards David Lock

The property was Excellent just the job and what I needed after a rough few months I hope I will be able to book it next year thank you

Absolutely beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting .

Very spacious and extremely well equipped , best we've stayed in by far . Everything thought of even some small espresso cups ( a first for us ) , we had everything we could possibly need and much more besides .Beds lovely and comfortable as were sofas and chairs , decor and furnishings all very good quality . Good wi fi connection , which seems to be a major issue for many people these days . Welcome hamper with milk ,tea ,coffee ,biscuits a lovely gesture and much appreciated . Only negative was the fact we only had 4 days , would love to have had a longer stay ,maybe next time . Would definitely return .

We would definitely recommend this wonderful holiday property, it is very spacious, extremely comfortable, had everything we needed, including the Table tennis, which we all enjoyed especially our Son and Grandson.

We enjoyed the tranquility of not only the accommodation, with its beautiful gardens, but also the area all around. Ulswater, Pooley Bridge, Keswick and Penrith are all within easy reach. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Excellent cottage, very well maintained and equipped with everything you need.

Very comfortable and highly recommended.

Lovely house, clean, spacious, warm and comfortable.

Really well equipped, and the garden is lovely too. Added bonus of seeing a red squirrel in the driveway as we arrived on the first day. Very quiet- just a couple of miles from the main A66 but close to Penrith for supermarkets and petrol. Would definitely choose this house to stay, if I ever go back to the Lakes.

Lovely spacious bungalow in an out-of-the-way area on the edge of the Northern Lakes.

Lovely garden too. Perfect.

On our arrival the outside refuse bin was full.

This was the same as our time here last year. We had no way of disposing of our waste, there only being one bin. Neighbours, we noticed, had the facilities of managing waste into separate containers ie recycling. Can I also recommend a calendar of bin collection dates so that people know when bins are due to be collected. There was no collection in the full week we there. Outside side paths are becoming slippy and could become a hazard very shortly. Passageway runner carpets continually ruck up and could also become a trip hazard. Heating, although very good, comes on at strange times ie middle of the night - maybe timer needs adjusting?.

This is the third time we've stayed at Edencroft and I don't think it will be the last.

Its a genuine pleasure to be there. Its a gorgeous, comfortable, warm and well equipped home. The garden birds and occasional red squirrel are added bonuses. An absolute delight, hope to return again soon!

This is the 2nd time we've stayed at Edencroft - with good reason!

It's one of the best, if not THE best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in. The owner clearly goes the extra mile to ensure guests have everything they could possibly need during their stay - right down to spare back packs and umbrellas. Beds were super comfy, showers great, kitchen very well equipped. And - the cherry on the cake - several mornings watching a busy red squirrel in the back garden. Absolutely perfect, thank you!

A lovely comfortable, warm, spacious, very well equipped place to stay.

Nice quiet location, with excellent access to the Northern Lakes and Pennines. Only improvement would be an electric fire ( perhaps stove type) in the lounge, as the log burner is out of commission. It would give a nice warm glow to enhance atmosphere, but having said that, we were plenty warm enough, so not a complaint. We had a great holiday.

A very clean and extremely well equipped kitchen for a holiday let!

Thank you! There was no mention of a freezer so was in touch with Lakelovers who informed us that there was no freezer> However, there is an undercounter freezer in the utility room - great! Perhaps the description could be updated ? A wonderful place to stay. Thank you N&J

This is the most beautiful house in a gorgeous little Hamlet.

This holiday was a wonderful gift from our three amazing children for my husband's very special birthday, and we so enjoyed our week here. The garden is quite special and we were blessed with fabulous weather, couldn't have asked for anywhere more perfect.

This was our 2nd visit to Edencroft.

It is a true home from home; well laid out and beautifully decorated throughout, with everything that you could need. Edencroft is ideally situated for exploring the North Lakes.

My wife and I recently stayed, together with two other couples we are friends with.

The property is fantastic. It’s in a lovely part of the lake district with so many towns and villages within easy reach by car. Tastefully furnished, with all the amenities that we could possibly want. We’ll maintained and spotlessly clean. Thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. It was everything we could possibly have hoped for and more.

Really lovely place, 2nd time of visiting & won't be the last!

Title: A Perfect Retreat: Clean, Comfortable, Convenient, and Full of Amenities!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Edencroft that left us thoroughly impressed in every aspect of our experience. From the moment we arrived until the day of departure, this property exceeded our expectations in terms of cleanliness, comfort, parking, facilities, and location. First and foremost, the cleanliness of the property was outstanding. Upon entering, we were greeted by a spotless and well-maintained living space. It was evident that the property owner places great importance on cleanliness, creating a welcoming environment that allowed us to relax and enjoy our stay to the fullest. The level of comfort provided by Edencroft was truly exceptional. The furnishings were not only stylish but also designed with utmost comfort in mind. The beds were incredibly cozy, offering a restful night's sleep after a long day of activities. The living areas were thoughtfully arranged with plush sofas and chairs, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We truly felt at home and could unwind and recharge with ease. The attention to detail in ensuring maximum comfort was evident throughout the property. The gardens are a joy and we had the pleasure of watching the local red squirrels go about their daily activities! Parking was another standout feature of Edencroft. Ample parking spaces were available, making it convenient for both our vehicles. The facilities provided were top-notch. From a well-equipped kitchen to modern bathrooms and entertainment systems, everything was thoughtfully curated to enhance the overall experience. We particularly appreciated the attention given to detail, such as providing high-quality appliances, reliable Wi-Fi, and a variety of entertainment options, not least of which the table tennis in the games room! These facilities added a touch of luxury and convenience, ensuring that all our needs were met during our stay. Lastly, the location of the property was simply fantastic. Nestled in a small village provided us with peace and quiet, although easily accessible to Penrith and the M6. In conclusion, we highly recommend Edencroft to anyone seeking an exceptional retreat. The outstanding cleanliness, remarkable comfort, convenient parking, excellent facilities, and prime location make it an ideal choice for a memorable stay. We look forward to returning to the delightful Edencroft in the future!

Fantastic cottage, with everything you could wish for, with one glaring omission there were no details of listing for emergency telephone numbers for doctors etc.

This information is a must especially for the elderly for our piece of mind..in all the years we have been using holiday cottages[over 30 years] this is the only cottage where this information was missing.

Very good spacious bungalow.

Quiet out of the way setting far from Lake District crowds. Lots of room for 4 -6 adults. Greystoke nearby is a lovely village with a good but busy pub. Never seen such a well -equipped kitchen. Home from home with a personal feel with superb artwork and decor. Lovely garden - if you get the weather!

So sorry I've taken so long to leave this response.

I have nothing but the highest praise for this holiday property. From start to finish, the experience was perfect. This is our second time using this cottage and I don't doubt that we will book it again. Its comfortable, warm, well decorated, spotlessly clean and with every amenity you could wish for.

My friends and I were blown away by this cottage.

We couldn’t believe it when we arrived. We felt like we’d hit the jackpot! The cottage was immaculately clean and tidy, and was so cozy, it felt so homely, I kept saying I wish I could live there! We had all the facilities we needed, the bedrooms were stunning with the most comfortable beds. In such a tranquil setting, we all got an amazing nights sleep. We had a Co-op nearby for essentials and a lovely little pub called the boot and shoe. The games room which included a ping-pong table made the place stand out, and a Bluetooth speaker to play are music, teas coffees and biscuits- I loved all these little touches! We had an unforgettable weekend and I will definitely be re-booking and recommending to others!

Although, we spend numerous holidays in the Lake District, we’d never stayed in this area before.

The property and gardens were fantastic. As well as there being plenty of space, the bungalow is modernised, furnished and equipped to a very high standard indeed. From the property, we were able to walk on quiet lanes and footpaths, but were pleased that Penrith, Pooley Bridge, Ullswater and Keswick were all very accessible. As the property is all on one floor, this was perfect for two elderly parents too. If we were to visit that area of the Lake District again, we would definitely choose to stay in Edencroft again and would certainly recommend it to friends and other family members.

Beautiful peaceful spotless fantastically appointed , just perfect

Exceptionally lovely place with beautiful gardens, quality furniture and fittings, one tiny gripe would be the fire check door squeaks badly every time you go though it especially if you go to kitchen during night when everyone else asleep.

But would definitely book again thank you so much

Probably the best property we have stayed in.

Very comfortable, extremely well equipped with top notch pans, cutlery etc. Beautiful and very well kept garden with different seating areas. Location is very quiet and private. Some of the pictures do not do the property justice. Only one small gripe - the vacuum cleaner had not been emptied for some time - we don't mind emptying after use, but to have to empty (and unblock) it before it could be used was not so good. Would definitely book the property again though. John Wilkinson

To say this cottage has everything would be quite an understatement.

From its high quality fixtures and fittings to its beautiful artwork. Four family members stayed here for seven nights, and all were very impressed. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable with everything catered for, even down to hairdryers! Outside the cottage, the gardens were also spacious, with an abundance of shrubs and trees, and also with excellent places to sit and relax . Overall everything has been provided to enable a very comfortable holiday, with easy access to the Lakes, and local village. (Look out for the Red Squirrel, you just might catch a glimpse!)

This property is absolutely gorgeous.

It’s so comfortable and spacious. It’s very well equipped and the gardens are beautiful. Hope to be back soon.

Despite the weather, we had a wonderful February break at Edencroft.

The cottage was great for our elderly relative. Although not listed in the amenities (and the caretaker didn't think there was one), there is also a freezer available at the property, along with everything else that you could need during your stay. I would definitely recommend.

This was the first time we had been away since 2019.

We took my 85yr old mum who has barely been out since Covid. It was just the perfect choice: beautifullly decorated, comfortable, spotless, everything thought of. The only issue we had was that there was a problem with the TV antenae so we had to call someone out to fix that, which only worked for a day then no TV again. That was a bit of a pain. Apart from that though the accomodation was faultless. We really appreciated all the little extra things like the torches and the tea/coffee/biscuits on arrival. Thank you very much,

A beautifully furnished and extremely well-equipped house, providing the perfect base for our week in the Lake District.

Very spacious – bigger inside than perhaps the photos suggest. The gardens, front and back, were lovely too, even in November. The owners have clearly gone the extra mile to make sure guests have everything they need. We’ve rented many holiday properties over the years, and this is right up there with the best of them. 10/10

Oh my goodness - what an amazing property.

We've stayed in a lot of holiday lets - but this one is off the scale! Every possible kitchen utensil, knives which actually cut, 4 smart TV's, fast WiFi and a full sized table tennis table! Very spacious property (don't let a bungalow fool you - it's huge). Immaculately clean, very tastefully decorated and furnished with quality oak furniture. Master bedroom has a lovely 6' wide zipped & linked bed. All bedrooms have blackout curtains so you're not woken at dawn. High quality 'Booths' supermarket 15 mins away at Penrith, alongside a Morrisons with a fuel station. Keswick and the Lakes similar distance in the opposite direction. Really minor improvement suggestion - rather than having two relatively plump pillows on each bed, could one be swapped for a thinner pillow, so guests have a choice of pillow thickness. As I say really minor point - overall I'd give this property a score of 99/100! Cannot wait to book again for another holiday at Edencroft.

Whilst Eden Croft met my expectations there were 2 things that spoiled the holiday for me.

The excessive amount of sheets of instructions on what not to do and what to do in the cottage, alongside every surface being covered in coasters, place mats and trays left me feeling less than comfortable. On the morning of departure the cleaner arrived at 0935 and sat outside the property with the engine of her car running and hazard lights flashing whilst I packed the car and cleaned the house. As we drove out of the property she had to reverse to let us out and immediately drove in. Couldn’t wait to get rid of us is the feeling we had as we left. As a customer of Lakelovers for at least 20 years didn’t feel good.
