“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.

“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.

Duncan December 2021

“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.

The property

The stunning, detached Eagle Farmhouse rests in the centre of Glenridding, towards the south end of Ullswater. Within easy reach of the Lake District National Park's sights and being a Grade II Listed Building, Eagle Farmhouse is certain to be a memorable stay for a family of six. The whitewashed house is set behind a secure, electric gate and boasts ample off-road parking for three cars, where you can leave your vehicle before heading inside to be welcomed by rustic interiors featuring exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and stone flooring. After leaving your belongings in the boot room, make yourselves at home in the snug as you delve into a book from the array available, as the flames of the wood burning stove flicker in the background. After a relaxing evening, continue to the open-plan living space where you can find a well-equipped kitchen; the space hosts duo-tone units that not only boast style, but practicality, as they house a great range of appliances, including an AGA range. When dinner is ready, enjoy it at the close-by dining table with your loved ones; why not fetch a bottle of wine from the wine cellar to accompany your meal? The sitting area is just behind the dining area and is home to a Smart TV, where you can enjoy your favourite show as you spend some quality time with your group; there is an additional wood burning stove here for some extra warmth. The utility room isn't far and hosts a handy washing machine and tumble dryer, so you can leave old clothes to wash overnight, before heading upstairs. The first floor is home to three wonderful king-size bedrooms, with one hosting an en-suite shower room, and two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, where you will be left spoilt for choice when it comes to getting ready, as a walk-in shower and freestanding bath are on offer. A highlight of this remarkable property has to be its garden, with ample seating areas for you to unwind on, along with access to a pizza oven, fire pit, beautiful views and a large lawn; the garden also backs onto an idyllic stream, so you can savour a cup of coffee as the tranquil water trickles in the background. Eagle Farmhouse is just moments away from a wealth of Glenridding's amenities, including ample shops and eateries, as well as a good selection of activities, including walks throughout the nearby Helvellyn and Place Fell, as well as ample watersports to be enjoyed in Ullswater via the Glenridding Sailing Centre. The renowned town of Windermere isn't far and not only backs onto Lake Windermere, but houses some fantastic attractions, from the fascinating World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and the Windermere Jetty Museum to the exhilarating Windermere Outdoor Adventure Centre and Miller Ground. An outing awaits at Penrith, where you can tour the Thacka Beck Nature Reserve, wander through the ruins of Penrith Castle, and enjoy a picnic at the nearby Castle Park. The settlements of Keswick, Cockermouth and Ambleside aren't far and also make for brilliant outings for all the family. For a stay to remember in the Lake District National Park, look no further than Eagle Farmhouse.
