Armathwaite, a charming, unspoilt rural community, is ideally located for exploring the Lake District, Eden Valley, and the stunning Solway Firth shoreline. Two old pubs, both with popular restaurants providing good food, a local Post Office, and a traditional village shop are all located in the village. The Eden River runs through the settlement, and the area is known for good salmon fishing, as well as walking, canoeing, and climbing. Armathwaite Castle is a four-story Pele Tower on the river, and the 15th Century Church has beautiful stained glass windows. Between Lazonby and Armathwaite, the Eden Gorge is one of Cumbria's best-kept secrets, and it's well worth visiting.

Very spacious with everything you would need - Great communication from the owners who were helpful throughout. The toys for the kids was a great touch and made them feel very welcome. Can't wait to visit again.

The lodge was lovely - clean, homely and had everything we needed (and more!). Only 10/15 mins away from Penrith and Carlisle, but the nearby surroundings were lovely for walks also. Weâll definitely be back and have already recommended to friends. Thank you!
