Set on the fringes of the market town of Penrith, you could not be better placed to enjoy the Lake District at its best with every kind of outdoor activity on hand, the stunning Eden Valley, and even over the border into Scotland. Ullswater is a mere 10 minute drive away where you can enjoy sailing, canoeing or just take a leisurely launch trip taking in the magnificent scenery.

For a more relaxed day drive into the stunning Eden Valley with its lush green countryside and traditional towns and villages, and a must is a trip on the Settle to Carlisle railway line which runs through the Eden Valley. Best of all return to Eden Cottage, park the car and just cross the road to the local pub serving fabulous food.

Jessie
Lovely stay in Penrith for my 30th birthday. The cottage was clean and had plenty of space for 5 adults. Really accesible to lots of the nice walks we wanted to do, and also close to lots of pubs and restaurants so we didnt have to drive anywhere in the evening. It was a really hot weekend and the downstairs stayed nice and cool with no need for fans. Only slight isue was the parking availability, but there was some free parking further up the street. Just a bit hit and mis about getting a space. However, regardles of this, the cottage was great value for money over a bank holiday weekend. Id definitely come back again. Thank you!
