All within a short drive are Brougham Castle, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the city of Carlisle.

Stuart
Tastefully decorated bedrooms and living area. The kitchen was fully equipped with an extensive range of cooking equipment and appliances. Thank you for the welcome pack of milk, juice, croissants and wine. Efficient heating system so we did not need to use the log burner. As another review mentioned the towels were barely adequate for showering. The second(twin) bedroom would be more suited to children than adults as space and storage is minimal. Penrith was an easy drive away for supermarket shopping and the Sun Inn in Newton Reigny had a good menu with friendly service.

The natural oak woodwork everywhere is very attractive, and having two bathrooms in a two bedroom cottage is a rare luxury. It is conveniently situated for visiting both the Lake District and Northumberland, and very accessible from the M6, yet in quiet countryside. There is no garden to sit out in, but so much magnificent countryside to visit that you wonât want to stay back at base, and the Juliette balcony gives the large living-dining area a lovely open and fresh feel in warm weather.

Bedrooms very small with uncomfortable beds. Good shower but awful worn out towels with only one toilet roll provided, very mean! Upstairs lovely with open plan lounge and diner/ kitchen. Outside limited parking for 2 cars. No outside area apart from a bench where your cars are parked. Overall okay but would not return as have stayed at a lot better self catering accommodation in the Lakes.
