The Experience
Shoot past the tourists to land in the Eden Valley with its vast hills, moody skies, single track roads and majestic river running through it. The house is pretty in the local sandstone pink with woodwork and sash windows painted in the estate colours. Cook together in the sociable kitchen warmed by a humming Aga, eat at a table in the bay window overlooking the water, looking out for ducks, swans and geese. Find homemade biscuits and a bottle of wine waiting.
Take a book to the separate sitting room and unwind by an open log fire on comfy sofas; fabrics are vibrant, rugs come in bright colours, an eclectic collection of art hangs on the walls and every window has stunning views framed by thick curtains. Bedrooms upstairs have high ceilings and big beds with feather and down pillows; bathrooms gleam and the prevailing feel is one of light and warmth.
Bring paddle boards and kayaks, barbecue on the terrace, make happy memories.

This was our 4th visit. 3 times back in the 1990s. It still feels so lovely if not better with all the refurbs. Extremely comfortable and warm. Stunning views and great walks. We hope to be going again in 2026. Couldn’t wish for more.

A very special property indeed. We only wish that we could have enjoyed an extended visit to your home. We were very sorry to be leaving. Thank you for sharing this property with us - This property is very special and the location is ideal to visit the northern lakes or to enjoy what the Eden valley has to offer.

Location
The neighbourhood
A 25-minute walk along the quiet road takes you to Lacy's Caves and Long Meg and Her Daughters. Stock up at Booths in Penrith (the Waitrose of the north) or two superb butchers. Kirkoswald has two good pubs, wild swimming spots (careful, the current is very strong) and lovely walks. Take tea at Granny Dowbekin's in Pooley Bridge, or visit The Secret Garden for great food - from burgers to posh nosh.
Local points of interest from Tamar Ferguson
- The Northern Lakes are just on the doorstep - your closest are Ullswater (with its steamers) and Derwentwater with it's glorious views and lakeside walks.

- Rheged with it's subterranean shopping is perfect for rainy days. There is an art gallery, cafe, deli and independent shops. The Lake Artists hold their annual exhibition there.

An excellent cottage refurbished to a very high standard with equipment and furniture to match. A stunning location with house and garden overlooking your own private lake with amazing views. An exceptional property, warm and cosey throughout as Autumn set in. Helpful owner and staff confidently dealing efficiently with a late booking. We enjoyed our stay.
