“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.

- Shirley, July 2023

Thank you for your nice comments. We have a rotary dryer for the garden.We will put it out c some pegs. A good way of saving on fuel costs. Thank you Property Owner

“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.

“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.

Sally December 2021

“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.

- Sally, December 2021
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 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.
