“Best holiday cottage l have stayed in”

- Edward, August 2024
Colin July 2024

“Mill End suited our needs perfectly.”

Very close to Penrith and its facilities but on a cul de sac in a village setting. Being so close to the M6 we had concerns about the possibility of traffic noise. Fear not, because we never heard any road noise but only the gentle babble from the river next to the property. As we were on a motoring holiday due to mobility issues we were within easy reach of most of the lakes but some of the routes were a bit challenging. However, as we had visited the area before we knew what to expect. but beware potholes! We would rate Mill End as one of the best properties that we have had as a holiday let. The owner lives next door which is handy in case of any issues that you might encounter. (We couldn't work out how to get the TV system to work to begin with.) Nothing has been overlooked to make our say comfortable and pleasant. A home from home.

“Such a lovely house in a great location, nice and quiet, the sound of the river at night is amazing.”

It was super clean and really well equipped. Despite some rainy weather we had some great walks (Lowther castle loop not too far away) and Pooley Bridge/Ullswater only 10 minutes drive away. The dogs loved the garden too. Owner friendly and local but not obtrusive. We would definitely return

“The property was a fantastic place for ourselves and the dogs everything was perfect and a lovely welcome pack awaited us on arrival, a great location with the river Eamont running alongside the garden and a lovely quiet lane to walk the dogs.”

The locals who we met when walking the dogs were very friendly and helpful. Lots of places to visit within easy reach, Penrith, Pooley bridge, Glenridding, Keswick to name but a few. Trevor the owner who lives near by helped us understand the TV instructions de to us being techniphobes and said he was available if there was anything we needed. Would recommend Mill End to anybody looking for a great holiday rental. 5+ stars .

“Where to start with this property it was incredible.”

I almost don't want to tell people how good it is lol. The house was absolutely spotless, the cleanest place I've ever stayed. The house is decorated to a very high standard and not a scuff or mark on any of the walls. Soo many glasses (great choice) and mugs, plates etc. I spent alot of time in the kitchen it's absolutely stunning. This property had so many tvs as well, not that i personally watched anything. Sofas are so comfy and soo much room. Beds were very very comfy, if I had to say one negative thing the pillows are a bit firm and uncomfortable but that's minor. The garden is so beautiful and to hear the river was just heaven. Mill End really is such a special place that I've fallen in love with. All very secure for our dog as well. The owners Trev and Heidi are really lovely and helpful and friendly. Although they live across from the property you don't feel like they are on top of you like I've felt in pervious holiday homes. I can not wait to come back, I was really sad to leave, it's deffo stolen a piece of my heart. Thank you ever so much and we will see yous again xx

“Just got back from a stay at Mill End, fab weather which meant the dogs could enjoy the wonderful enclosed garden!”

“We had a fabulous stay at Mill End.”

The house is beautiful and finished to a very high standard with all mod cons. Kitchen has everything you need. Generous welcome basket. Very comfy beds. Falling asleep to the sound of the river and waking up to the sound of the birds singing. Ample parking. Enjoyed the garden overlooking the river. Our dog absolutely loved it. Great location just off the main routes. The owners are nearby and lovely, on hand to help with anything. Would definitely return. Thanks Heidi and Trevor.

“A well designed, spacious house, with a high standard of furnishings and fittings.”

It was spotless, well equipped and very comfortable. The garden is large and enclosed, and there are areas nearby where you can walk your dog. Absolutely no complaints; we enjoyed our stay. We have been on self catering holidays for many years, and this was one of the best houses we have stayed in. It is located in a small, quiet village near Penrith within driving distance of the main attractions of the Lake District.

- E, April 2024

Thank you for your kind words Hearing such words is what makes it all worthwhile Thanks again Trevor and Heidi Property Owner

“Mill End is ideally located for exploring the Lake District.”

It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen is spacious with a huge island to sit at. The Easter welcome basket was a thoughtful treat. The lounge was very comfortable with a cosy electric fire. It was lovely to sit on the patio listening to the river rushing by. We would definitely return to this property.

Emma December 2023

“What an amazing Christmas break we had at Mill End.”

The owners were amazing. Thank you to the owners for making us so welcome you had thought of everything. The owners met us when we got there & said don’t hesitate to ask for anything. The house is at a very high standard & loved that they had decorated the house for Christmas. They had left a very generous welcome basket. A very lovely touch. I have already booked for this year!!!

- Emma, December 2023

We are both really pleased you enjoyed your stay at Mill End . Thanks so much for booking next year - that really does mean a lot to us Thanks again Trevor and Heidi Property Owner
Stephen December 2023

“Lovely house and lovely area.”

We arrived on the Monday we had that sigh of relief you have when you arrive at a strange location you’ve booked online, when you drive through the local area. Town of Penrith was on the door step and the villlage the house is located is somewhere you can walk through at night without fear. Virtually crime free. The house is located next to the river which gave a nice relaxing sound when you sleep. No need for Alexa to play relaxing sounds! The house is beautiful. We brought everything we need from tea towels to Salt and pepper but there is no need as the owners had stocked the house with all the essentials, even a welcome basket. Kitchen is a huge cooking and social area with a kitchen island and massive fridge/freezer. To our delight, we forgot to bring ice however the fridge dispenser had an ice option ( took the heat off me!). Living room comfy with electric fire place and the bedrooms where well set up with plenty of places for guests. The garden is fully sealed in for the dog to run around with no worries. We had a brilliant week at Mill end house. Top tip, try the crown pub in the village. Michael the landlord is a great character and does a mixture of English and Thai food. My only negative ( and this negative is only small) the pillows were a little bulky and hard. We would book again and bring those with us.

- Stephen, December 2023

We are really pleased you loved Mill End, we really aim to set the highest standards we can. I’m sorry you found our pillows too firm. We use high quality medium pillows to try and suit as many people as possible. I’m glad you felt safe in the area too. I’ve lived in the village all my life and like you say I can’t recall any incidents at all which would make me feel unsafe day or night. Thanks again for your kind words and we both hope to see you again Trevor and Heidi Property Owner

“What a fabulous find couldn’t of wanted for more.”

Everything you would need with a great location and good views of the river. Didn’t want to leave, the pictures do not do the property justice. We stay away a lot all over the country but have family in Penrith and have stayed at a few cottages but cannot praise this one high enough very thoughtful owners have thought of everything to give you a home from home. Sadly there’s only five stars would of like to give them 10.

Rosemary June 2023

“Mill End is a lovely house in a beautiful setting.”

The sound of the river was most relaxing, and it was wonderful to have a 'resident' heron. The house was extremely comfortable, beautifully decorated with everything you could want, extremely clean and a well-stocked welcome pack, including milk in the fridge - most welcome as we were desperate for a cup of tea when we arrived and had not brought milk with us! The owners were lovely and most approachable. Would be very happy to revisit at a future date.

- Rosemary, June 2023

Thanks for your lovely comments. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and we’d love to see you at Mill End again. Trevor and Heidi Property Owner

The property

Penrith 1.6 miles.

Situated right on the banks of the River Eamont with the sounds of the water rushing by and a woodland backdrop, the opulent Mill End is an ideal getaway for a family or group of friends, resting in Eamont Bridge, near Penrith, Cumbria.

Be welcomed into a beautifully furnished home, built by the owner, and note how care has been taken to create a tasteful property, beginning in the large family kitchen, where there are ample amenities, contemporary furniture and a large breakfast bar, making it ideal for guests to cook and dine together.

The living/dining room has a second dining table, as well as tiled flooring, stylish leather sofas, an electric fire stove and patio doors opening up onto the garden, ideal for letting in the summer's breeze in the warmer months.

Outside, your four-legged companion will enjoy the grass as you dine alfresco or enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage with a view across the river to the woodland countryside, a spot you will have to return to again and again.

The bedrooms mirror the spacious and tasteful design of the living areas, and you will have the choice of a king-size, a double and a twin, each with a TV, plush carpets, and built-in wardrobe for your belongings, along with a large bathroom with black and white tiled flooring, where you can take a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles or a ground-floor shower room for your refreshment.

Eamont Bridge is a riverside village resting beside the Eamont River, within easy reach of The Beehive Inn and several historic sites, including Mayburgh Henge, King Arthur’s Round Table and Eden Millennium Monument.

A little further from the property you will find the delightful town of Penrith, where there is a great selection of eateries, pubs, independent stores to browse at your leisure and convenience stores where you can stock up on essentials.

Penrith is a great little town with walks through Thacka Beck Nature Reserve and Penrith Castle has to be on your itinerary for the day!

Penrith also has a golf course and easy reach to Ullswater, ideal for water sports lovers.

The town is surrounded by two national parks and two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so why not head over to the Lake District and visit Windermere, where you can try out wild swimming, watersports and lake cruises or lunch in one of the quaint honey pot villages before embarking on a countryside walk through the rolling hills?

More scenic views are available in North Pennines AONB or the Yorkshire Dales National Park, or for a day at the seaside, travel a little further to Solway Coast AONB.

All of this and so much more with a stay at the beautiful Mills End

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
