Eagle Farmhouse

This is a stunning property in a fantastic situation.

There are a huge range of walks from the doorstep. There is plenty of space for people and for storage, including lovely outdoor seating. We had a great holiday. A couple of very minor suggestions - we would have appreciated place-mats and coasters as if felt wrong to put plates/mugs/glasses on the surfaces and there was a bedside light with no bulb - we could not find spare bulbs. These are very trivial points, I highly recommend this property.

Our second time at Eagle Farmhouse and we were pleased to find that we were just as happy as the first time.

The cottage is perfectly located in Glenridding to enjoy many walks from the doorstep, with the Ullswater steamer just a short walk away. There were 4 of us (2 couples) and the rooms are all decorated to the highest standard. Cooking on the Aga was a most enjoyable experience (with a separate induction hob and oven as well). The weather was variable, but as they say, there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes! Overall, another great week in the beautiful Lake District.

We really enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again.

Our first impressions of the house looked great, beautiful garden by the stream and a great location.

Unfortunately this was let down by the standard of cleaniness. Disgusting toilet brushes that need replacing. Thick dust on the shelf and kettles above the aga. Inside kitchen cupboards and fridge were dirty and required cleaning before use. The single tea towel felt slimy. In the bedrooms, the tops of the mirrors, the bed posts and under the bed needed dusting. Bed pillows need a deep clean or replacing as they have yellow marks. We found dirt marks on some of the towels therefore felt the need to wash all of them. Lastly, there is a wasp nest in the house that needs addressing. We encountered at least 10 wasps daily either buzzing around or dead on the floor.

A lovely property in a superb location.

Very comfortable with everything you could need. Please pass this message on to the owners. Many thanks, Kay and Phill Speechley. Ted our golden retriever thought it was magnificent,

Only problems were towel rail in jack and Jill bathroom not working stairs a bit tricky perhaps higher hand rail everything else perfect beautiful house and gardens location brilliant we'll be definitely back .

We arrived 23rd May to Eagle Farm….

We were blown away, this property is truly outstanding… extremely spacious and tastefully furnished and decorated throughout…. The weather was not on our side however we did enjoy the beautiful garden on every available opportunity…. We did not want to leave and are intending to return as soon as we can ….

Wonderful, spacious farmhouse, tastefully renovated.

Wanted to spend my 60th birthday in Glenridding and this was perfect. There is a huge boot room, perfect for storing walking gear and drying off our lab Rupert after a day out. The house is just lovely, clean and comfortable, bedrooms and showers brilliant. The kitchen has an Aga, first time of using one but quite easy once I got used to it. We didn’t get to use the garden a great deal but I can imagine in the summer we would sit out in the evening. The location of the property means you don’t need a car, so many walks from the door. An absolutely perfect week and we will definitely return. Thank you to the owners for the fizz and the chocolates.

We all loved the farmhouse which was so comfortable & warm.

Large spacious rooms with enough seating for everyone. Well equipped kitchen with the added bonus of the utility room & wine cellar. Plenty of firewood provided for the log burners. Sadly too cold to make use of the outside facilities. The location was perfect as we attended a wedding at the Inn on the Lake and stayed for the week. Enjoyed walks straight from the house & would recommend the Travellers Rest for great beer & food.

This has to be one of the best cottages we have booked in all the years coming to the Lakes… and we will be booking again.

Immaculate accommodation, tastefully joining old with new. Good location and well equipped. Thank you!

Lovely property, comfortable beds, fantastic showers, super garden to sit in and enjoy the sun.

There are no blinds on the skylights in any of the bedrooms so in the summer it is light until 11pm and then again at 4am which isn’t great for sleeping! A knife sharp enough to cut an onion would also have been appreciated!

Eagle farm was the perfect location, both for Ullswater and the Lake District in general.

The place itself was as good as it gets - beside a bubbling beck, with excellent facilities, including an electric Aga and two log burning fires. The best place we have stayed after many years of holiday cottages.

Fantastic property and furnished beautifully.

The setting by the river was lovely and plenty of walks from the door.

Excellent accommodation in a very good situation.

Generally the house facilities were of a high standard however there were a few issues which detracted from our experience. Downstairs toilet broken throughout our stay and as other facilities were within upstairs ensuites this was problematic. Lack of instructions on some appliances e.g. Sonos and tv. Inaccurate re electric gate opening.

Perfect place to stay nice and handy for all amenities.

I think the owner could save on power if they had an airer/washing line.

An exceptional property.

Idyllic setting, beautifully enovated. We will definitely be returning.

We loved staying in Eagle Farmhouse Beautiful inside and out We managed the stairs with a bit of effort.

Two of us were 90 and 82 years old! Love to stay again some time We especially enjoyed the garden where we spent many hours in the sunshine relaxing A truly lovely holiday house

A very enjoyable stay in a beautiful house.

We appreciated the cosy fires and the warmth of the underfloor heating as it was very rainy during our stay. The location is ideal, with a big variety of walks from the door. We liked the local shops, and also ventured out to the Keswick and Penrith areas which were easily accessible.

Eagle farm is a beautiful, spacious and well maintained property which has fabulous art work throughout.

It is warmed by underfloor heating with additional log burners and aga for snuggle value. Fabulous location, views and value

The cottage is beautiful and in a lovely location.

Unfortunately our arrival was marred by the fact that we had our 4 large mountain bikes with us and had chosen the property because it said it had lockable storage for bikes and boats. On arrival there was no key for the garage and after a number of phone calls we were told that there was no access to the listed storage after all. This was extremely disappointing and annoying. We had to keep two bikes outdoors and two in the hall which meant we couldn't light the wood burner to dry our clothing. That aside, the cottage is very nice and beautifully finished, lovely furnishings and very cosy and warm. The electric gate is extremely temperamental and often wouldn't open or shut when we wanted it to. Also nowhere to dry clothes other than a tumble dryer. But the Aga was great, the wood burners easy to use, the wine cellar very welcome, the view / sound of the beck was fabulous and the beds were comfy. The huge bath was a real bonus too. Overall a lovely cottage and one we would return to, but only if we didn't have our bikes with us!

Overall very pleasant with just a few issues: 1.

Lack of house manual other than a few sheets hidden in recipe books 2. Half eaten food left in fridge 3. Sewerage smell in Jack’n’Jill bathroom 4. Damp smelling towels and bed linen had to be washed 5. Lack of drying facilities internal and external 6. Inability to alter individual room temperatures and far bedroom too cold 7. Black bin full on arrival and no instructions where to empty it. We did take it to Village Hall on collection day but they didn’t empty it For Lakelovers: We called for assistance with wi-fi code and you promised to call back but didn’t

Eagle Farm House was gorgeous.

A beautiful house wonderfully restored. The location, right under Helvellyn, was glorious. The kitchen space is fabulous and so we barely used the gorgeous lounge at all. Observations that might improve the overall experience; The instructions were very limited, when we found them tucked amongst some recipe books and it would be great to have a bit more info about the house, how to work things. Where to eat where to walk but we did figure all this out. We enjoyed sitting outside in the glorious garden but there was a regular smell of sewerage which seemed to emanate from the river, and given the similar and corresponding smell further up the river from the campsite toilets we wondered whether there might be an issue with their plumbing. The same smell did back up via the shower/toilet ? in the Jack and Jill bathroom. The house was cosy generally although it might have been good to have a working towel rail to dry towels. Final comment is to suggest eye masks for those who struggle to sleep without darkness as the bedrooms have skylights that are not covered in anyway. I improvised by tying a pair of tights around my head !!! Overall, it was a perfect spot and we had a wonderful holiday. Thank you.

We stay at cottages in the Lake District a lot and this one is up there with the very best we have been to.

Attention to detail is second to none, the fluffiest of towels, quality beds and linen, plenty of toilet rolls, washing up liquid, cupboard full of condiments, quality plates and cutlery, I could go on. We knew where this property was as we have walked past in many times and envied those that have stayed, so it was good to be on the other side of the fence.., it’s a stones throw from the village centre with its couple of shops and pubs, walks from the doorstep, whether it be flat, small fells or the bigger fells, if you like walking, the world is your oyster. Can’t fault this property, we loved it and hope to try the Piggery next door at some point, when there is only the two of us + dog. Oh and friendly owners too, we enjoyed meeting them.

This is a lovely cosy spacious home in a stunning area for walking and touring by car .

It is very well equipped with comfortable beds and really good drying facilities . It is absolutely as described and we were delighted with everything .

Superb property and location

Amazing location, thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we didn't want to leave and will definitely stay again.

The location is superb, the farmhouse very comfortable, ambient, very nicely furnished and very comfortable.

An ideal location for basing lots of good walking days, without the need to get into the car. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing house and great location.

House has all the mod cons and was beautiful inside. Comfy beds and furniture. We enjoyed cooking on the Aga. I rarely give 5 stars but this place was well worth it.

Beautiful cottage with luxurious touches like pizza oven and coffee maker.

Setting couldn’t be better, walks from the door as far as you could want to go. Snug was lovely and overall a great retreat.

Fantastic cottage - it really did have the 'wow' factor when we arrived.

Plenty of space for 6 adults but with a real 'cottagey' homely feel. Pubs, shops and cafes nearby plus access to walks straight from the door. Very easy walk down to the lake if you wanted to catch a steamer and a good field for dog walking on the shores of Ullswater. Mini Market and corner shop both well stocked at the end of the lane. Good food in the Ramblers Bar at the Inn on the Lake and great selection of pizzas in the Beckside Bar. Great spot to spend New Year with family and friends - great to have the boot room and separate lounge too.

A beautifully restored property in Glenridding, comfortable and spacious.

Huge well equipped kitchen and even an Aga.
