The Experience

The 1500-acre estate folds neatly into this restful valley, with woods and farmland dropping down to the rivers Eamont and Eden – it’s a huge playground for walkers, cyclists, wild swimmers and nature lovers, with the Pennine fells and the Lakes nearby. Your base is pleasing to the eye and full of comforts: books, board games, a wood-burner, sound system and smart TV in case the weather isn’t playing.

The kitchen has a door to the garden and is big enough for joiners-in; you’ll find plenty of prepping space and all the gear you need, though a chef can be hired if you want, and hampers delivered ahead from local suppliers. Bedrooms, one with a tub in the room, the others sharing a family bathroom and a separate shower downstairs, are sumptuous, with well-dressed beds and pretty views.

You have your own enclosed lawned area with outdoor seating, a hot tub and a barbecue for wonderfully long summer suppers admiring the spectacular views. Private fishing can be arranged.

  • The walking. From gentle strolls down to and along the river, to energetic hikes up some of the Pennine fells, or heading to the Lakes for something even higher
  • Joining in with some of the activities on the estate, like archery, clay pigeon shooting and paddle boarding at The Outpost activity centre. Wellbeing sessions are planned
  • Stocking up in Penrith, hunting for antiques and books as well as good local food

Reviews

Sala Cottage offers a delightful combination of historic features with comfort and contemporary art and decoration. There is space to relax indoors, with lovely views onto the lake and wider estate. On a summer evening there is no better place to be than soaking in the hot tub listening to the birdsong.

Location

The neighbourhood

The Eden valley isn't thronged with tourists like the Lakes, so you'll enjoy more solitude and peace, but you can easily reach the honeypots for boat tours and climbs. You can walk to the local hotel for a bar and evening meals, or the pub at Langwathby is a five-minute drive. Walks through woodland (look out for deer and red squirrels) will take you down to the river Eden. Penrith is ten minutes in the car.

Local points of interest from Catherine Anderson

  • Allium at Askham Hall, a hotel, health barn, café and beautiful restaurant. It sits at the centre of the Lowther Estate (where much of the food on the menu comes from) and offers the best seasonally driven cuisine available for many miles.
  • Ullswater Wake and Surf. Wake surfing on Ullswater, one of England's most picturesque lakes, during a sunny day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
  • Keswick, a location greatly known for its beautiful town and surrounding hikes. A must-visit that is not too far from Edenhall.
  • There are many fine ways to climb Helvellyn, but an ascent via Striding Edge has to be considered the most spectacular of all.
  • Aira Force, a beautiful stroll alongside a lush, forested creek is a great way to embrace a lovely day in the Lake District.
  • Lowther Castle & Gardens, take the kids out for a nice sunny day stroll through the rose fields and learn about the history behind the magnificent castle ruin that remains.
