    “Stag cottage is a real gem.”

    It is very comfortable, well equipped & maintained to a high standard with beautiful views to the rear. Comfy beds & very clean. Great communication from the owners who really care about their cottage & guests. We loved our few days here & would love to stay again sometime, it was an absolute treat.

Outside, is a well kept garden with patio area and plenty of space to enjoy the views, both during the day and at night when the stars will be bright due to the rural location.

Situated on the edge of the Lake District, the beautiful village of Pooley Bridge, on the shores of Ullswater, is just a 12 minute drive away.

Here, you can embark on a cruise on the Ullswater Steamer and gently cruise down this enchanting lake to Glenridding, passing the impressive mountains that flank its sides.

Why not head up to Keswick and enjoy a day browsing around the host of shops and cafes or wander down to Borrowdale?

About the location

PENRUDDOCK

Keswick 11 miles; Penrith 6 miles.

The charming old village of Penruddock sits in a secluded position in the northern Lake District between Keswick and Penrith, and just four miles from Ullswater. The village is spread out amongst beautiful rolling countryside and wonderful scenery and is made up of a number of farm dwellings, traditional Lakeland homes and two churches. Penruddock originated in Celtic times, with the name derived from Pen, a Celtic name for 'hill' and 'rhuddawc' meaning red in Welsh to reflect the reddish brown colour of the soil found in the area. Nearby, the popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the north of the Lake District and has plenty to offer, boasting numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, some good parks, the Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema and the beautiful lake. Penruddock provides easy access to the spectacular surrounding Cumbrian countryside which can be explored by both car and on foot, and with the southern Lakes, Eden Valley, Solway Coast and Hadrian's Wall all within easy motoring distance this great location has plenty to see and do for all the family.
