Had a great time, nice rural location and a short trip into Penrith with its 4 major supermarkets and a good choice of independent shops to buy food. Everything is provided right down to bin liners. The EV charger was convenient, meaning that there was no need to look for chargers in the Lake District.

We had a wonderful stay at Ravencroft in October 2024. The house is really well equipped for groups and was spotlessly clean. Beautiful view from the living room. We had a great time exploring the Lake District and Hadrian's Wall. Would definitely recommend.

This cottage is amazingly clean and has everything you need, the kitchen is very well equipped, the rooms are lovely and beds comfy. Sitting in the lounge looking at the beautiful view over the fields just relaxes you in an instant, we loved it so much we stayed in the cottage for half the holiday relaxing rather than go out sightseeing. This is deRead morefinitely the best and cleanest holiday cottage we have ever stayed in, cant wait to go there again. Hide

This house is comfortable, warm and spotlessly clean. If you have small children be aware that the garden has open access to a working yard opening onto the A6.

A beautiful cottage, in a beautiful location not too far from Penrith town but secluded enough. Plenty of space had my family and friends family stay (total of 7). Kitchen is well equipped and the range cooker is impressive. Would highly recommend!

It is a great place for a little break, very much convenient as it is near to the M6. The owners have kept the place clean and comfortable for any occupants, i would book it again in the future if available.
