Description

River Cottage as the name suggests has a view over the River Eamont, centrally located in the village of Eamont Bridge which is midway between Penrith and Ullswater. The cottage has a beamed lounge with exposed stone walls and will appeal to couples at any time of year.

Eamont Bridge is ideally based to tour the north Lake District and Eden Valley being located only minutes away from the M6 and A66 almost midway between Penrith and Ullswater. Winding its way through the village is the River Eamont, hence the name, the village dates back many years and has two ancient henges, King Arthurs Round Table and Mayburgh Henge. The market town of Penrith has a wealth of shops, bars and restaurants along with swimming pool and cinema and Pooley Bridge offers traditional inns serving local ales and food.

River Cottage is a characterful cottage that enjoys a superb location on the banks of the river in the centre of Eamont Bridge. The cosy lounge has beams and exposed stone walls whilst the conservatory enjoys views across the river where long leisurely walks can be taken. The garden with patio and lawn is the perfect retreat from which to relax on a summer's day, dine al fresco or enjoy a picnic next to the river with a bottle of wine.

The cottage has gas central heating and comprises: Heavily beamed lounge with gas fire and TV. Kitchen with gas oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. Conservatory with dining table overlooking the river. Double bedroom with super king size bed and TV. Wet room with shower, hand basin and WC. All gas, electric and bed linen included. Private parking at the side of the property. Garden with garden furniture overlooking the river and an outbuilding housing the washing machine which is also suitable for storing bikes.

While this cottage has a lovely setting and it's proximity to the river was beautiful there is without doubt that it is an extremely fast flowing river with a VERY strong current-even the ducks found it difficult to swim againstso we obviously did not let our dog out in the garden without a collar and lead on.

He has never seen ducks before and each time he did he strained to get into the water-so of course he was supervised at all times. The overriding factor to us never booking River Cottage again, was the traffic-it was CONSTANT and I mean CONSTANT. It just never stopped and we wonder how the local people live with it. On our first Saturday night I was still awake a 2am due to the boy racer cars and motorbikes going over the bridge for hours. The roadworks around Penrith are horrendous and even the locals are finding it difficult to navigate and they had leaflet drops explaining it to them. Sorry but we won't be back but it's not a reflection on the cottage-just it's location

We had a wonderful stay at River Cottage, the location on the river was beautiful and only a short distance from the lovely town.

The cottage was equipped with everything you would need and was beautifully presented. The furniture was comfortable and access to Netflix & Prime was an unexpected surprise. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely be back. Debbie & Terry x
