We offer spacious comfortable rooms in our traditional Lakeland Cottage in the village of Clifton, just a few minutes from the M6 & A66, but perfectly placed to explore the Northern Lake District, Pennines and Eden Valley. There is free on the road parking just outside. Rooms includes a kettle, a mini fridge, a small dining table and chairs, crockery, cutlery and cups and glasses. You will have access to the entrance hall, landing and your bedroom. Guest room are upstairs, and we live downstairs and guests do not have to go through our part of the house to get in and out, so you can come and go as you please and have your own privacy. We do not provide breakfast (or any other meals), but we do provide cutlery and crockery if you want to bring your own (the mini fridge is 12 litres), or can recommend several local options. If you need secure bike storage, please contact us in advance. We can help with drying wet walking, running or cycling kit if needed. We have dogs (Margo the fearless Patterdale Terrier and Larry the inexhaustible Lakeland Terrier), but they are never in the parts of the house used by guests.

A stone built 4 bedroom Lakeland cottage in the village of Clifton near Penrith. Central heating, double glazing and a recent refurbishment provide a private, pleasant and comfortable place to stay. Our home has (distant) views of the Lake District fells and the Pennines (weather permitting!). We are 10 minutes drive from Ullswater and numerous classic walking, cycling and trail running routes. Although not as famous as other Cumbrian lakes such as Windermere, Ullswater is one of most impressive of all the Lakes. It offers Steamer boat tours, Aira Force waterfall, and walks for all abilities, including of course Helvellyn! Lowther Castle and Askham Hall (in the very pretty village of Askham) are both a 10 min drive away and the market town of Penrith, is also a 10 min drive northwards. You can also drive to Keswick in 25 minutes or Kendal in 40 minutes. The Eden Valley also features some beautiful hidden gems such as the picturesque villages of Morland, Crosby Ravensworth & Dufton.
