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.

Our stay at Abbot Moss was simply amazing. We could literally find ourselves just sitting starting out of the windows watching nature. The house was impeccable in every way - everything you could ever want or wish for. The decor, so tasteful and well finished - just beautiful. The surroundings were quiet, peaceful and serene and the wildlife was right at your door step. We enjoyed every minute, rain or shine - could have stayed forever. The house keeper, Julia was so kind and left a beautiful home made cake and freshly laid eggs and was always there to help.

Honestly the most comfortable rental we have ever stayed at in the most idyllic surroundings. We loved the house and the lake. Our welcome basket was an unexpected treat. We went on walks as a family and enjoyed the bird life of the lake. A memorable holiday. We hope to return.

We had a wonderful stay at Abbott Moss! Everything about it was just perfect - a beautiful home in an exquisite setting and great communication with the housekeeper. It was very difficult to say goodbye. Thank you Abbott Moss!

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.

The house is just amazing & the furnishings and decor are fabulous. It is equipped with everything that you could possibly need and we especially loved the Aga. It’s set in a beautiful peaceful location but not too far from villages with shops and pubs. It’s not very often that you find somewhere this fabulous that is dog friendly and our whippet loved playing in the large garden. We will definitely be back.
