    “Squirrel Cottage is a great place to stay in the Lakes.”

    The beds are comfortable, the sitting room is spacious and the kitchen is very well equipped. It was superbly clean and Well stocked with consumables. The prints all over the property are by a local artist and enhance the interior. Our grandchildren enjoyed the swimming pool - only niggle was that on the last two days it was full when we went to use it. Thursday we couldn’t get in at all and on Friday we managed at the third attempt. Apparently during the school holidays they have a booking ...

    The beds are comfortable, the sitting room is spacious and the kitchen is very well equipped. It was superbly clean and Well stocked with consumables. The prints all over the property are by a local artist and enhance the interior. Our grandchildren enjoyed the swimming pool - only niggle was that on the last two days it was full when we went to use it. Thursday we couldn’t get in at all and on Friday we managed at the third attempt. Apparently during the school holidays they have a booking system. Last week was half term in Scotland so perhaps we should have been able to book. The games room could do with a refresh. Notwithstanding we had a great holiday, the location is excellent for exploring the area and the site is well designed with spectacular views. Staff are very helpful.

    Thank you for your review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I am delighted with the Lakeland prints as well. You may be interested to know they were purchased from an art gallery in Windermere called the Cook House Gallery. I highly recommend it. Kind Regards Andrew Property Owner

About the location

PENRUDDOCK

Keswick 11 miles; Penrith 6 miles.

The charming old village of Penruddock sits in a secluded position in the northern Lake District between Keswick and Penrith, and just four miles from Ullswater. The village is spread out amongst beautiful rolling countryside and wonderful scenery and is made up of a number of farm dwellings, traditional Lakeland homes and two churches. Penruddock originated in Celtic times, with the name derived from Pen, a Celtic name for 'hill' and 'rhuddawc' meaning red in Welsh to reflect the reddish brown colour of the soil found in the area. Nearby, the popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the north of the Lake District and has plenty to offer, boasting numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, some good parks, the Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema and the beautiful lake. Penruddock provides easy access to the spectacular surrounding Cumbrian countryside which can be explored by both car and on foot, and with the southern Lakes, Eden Valley, Solway Coast and Hadrian's Wall all within easy motoring distance this great location has plenty to see and do for all the family.
