    “My husband and I plus our two dogs had a wonderful time at Pond End.”

    The cottage was everything I was looking for and I had been looking for at least 3 months!! I wanted an old stone cottage with enclosed outside space (for dogs) with a view! I also wanted quiet but not completely isolated. Pond End couldn’t have been any more perfect for us. Clean, comfortable big free view tv. Lots of books to read, birds galore.

    The cottage was everything I was looking for and I had been looking for at least 3 months!! I wanted an old stone cottage with enclosed outside space (for dogs) with a view! I also wanted quiet but not completely isolated. Pond End couldn’t have been any more perfect for us. Clean, comfortable big free view tv. Lots of books to read, birds galore. The local villagers were all friendly and stopped for a chat or a wave. The nearby village of Morland had a lovely tea room but the pub had sadly closed and was up for sale. Not too sure if there was wifi , we didn’t ask and the nearest shop is in shap about 4 miles or so so if these things bother you then might be a problem but for us it was fine. We took our-shopping with us. The only other thing to mention is the outside space IS enclosed as described but if you have an escapist dog then you would need to watch. Our two (cockapoo and Jack Russell type) were fine. We were lucky enough to have fabulously warm weather during our week so we spent more time than we envisaged around and about the property l, soaking up sun and reading in the courtyard, but lots of places easily accessible as the cottage is easy to get to off the M6. (No sight or sound of it in Newby but it is close ) All in all a fantastic week in a fabulous spot in England.

About the location

NEWBY

Appleby 8 miles; Penrith 8 miles.

The charming old village of Newby sits in a secluded location in the Eden Valley, between the northern Pennines and the Lake District. Newby, with its better-known neighbours of Appleby and Penrith, is surrounded by lovely rolling landscapes and is often described as having a special, unchanging beauty. The village itself is surrounded by open fields, supporting cattle, sheep and horses. The nearby market town of Penrith offers a good selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, a cinema and swimming baths. Why not visit the Rheged Discovery Centre in Penrith, or nearby Lowther Castle Gardens and Bird of Prey Centre? Ullswater, with frequent cruises from Pooley Bridge, is eight miles away or you may like to visit Appleby, famous for its annual horse fair and a stop on the Settle-Carlisle railway. This is an ideal holiday location.
