There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station.

The property was amazing, in a field that is rural and so peaceful but also close to amenities in Penrith and also all of the beauty in the Lakes. We had the most amazing stay, there has been a lot of attention to detail and the lodge really is clean and luxurious. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and all of the little things. Our dog had the best break too and the price of the hut compared to any others is fantastic value for money especially with the privacy you get. We will be back soon.

    We were greeted and welcomed by our host, Ruth. The kitchen was very well equipped. The place was spotlessly clean. A great deal of thought has gone into making someone’s stay perfect. A welcome gift was gratefully received, thank you. Our two dogs were catered for, bowls and dog towels ready for use. They quickly found the welcoming dog treats. I didn’t have to use to dog wash in the utility room, but a great idea. The hot tub was ready for use upon our arrival. A lovely place in a great location, I would thoroughly recommend.

    Location is absolutely great for Penrith town centre - both accessing on foot and driving in/out of town before and after. The beds were spotless and very comfortable, very good night's sleep. Ignoring the old sash window frames (can't be helped I guess), the main room and bathroom were very clean. Yes there was noise downstairs (we stayed on one of Penrith's busiest Saturday nights - Halloween/Droving) but a little after midnight that stops completely and everyone leaves. Honestly we would stay here again.
