Penrith 6.3 miles. Set in the quiet rural village of Cliburn, near Penrith, is the delightful holiday home, Rock Cottage. Perfectly situated for friends and families alike, this property boasts stunning countryside views and is well-positioned to explore the Lake District National Park and nearby amenities. Rock Cottage welcomes up to eight guests and is an idyllic rural escape. The ground floor hosts a galley kitchen with electric range cooker, and a living/dining area, where you can catch up with loved ones as you tuck into a home-cooked meal by the woodburning stove. Inside you will also find four bedrooms complete with Smart TVs, including a quaint ground-floor king-size bedroom with woodburning stove, as well as a well-presented double bedroom and two twin bedrooms upstairs, where you can retire after a long day of exploring. Outside, you can make use of the spacious rear garden, where you can soak up the stunning countryside scenery with a morning coffee, overlooking the North Pennines AONB, or take a dip in the private hot tub that rests underneath a tasteful pergola. Get to know your local area by taking a trip to either the Lakeside Inn or The Bridge if you'd prefer to dine out for a change. Pay a visit to nearby Penrith, where the sites of Penrith Castle, Beacon, and Mayburgh Henge await those looking to brush up on their history. The market town of Keswick is a short car journey away, where you can immerse yourself in nature during a walk along the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trail before stopping by Friars Crag to take in the views of Derwentwater Lake. Further afield is the city of Carlisle, home to historic landmarks such as The Citadel and Carlisle Castle, as well as Kingmoor Nature Reserve and Upperby Park, which are perfect for summer days out, or travel through the Lake District, with the opportunity to summit Helvellyn, stroll around Ullswater, tour Wray Castle, or enjoy all the attractions enveloping Lake Windermere, including an afternoon of watersports. Bring your family and friends to share a memorable stay at Rock Cottage.
As the former capital of Cumbria, the bustling market town of Penrith enjoys a central location between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales, and the North Pennines and is well-positioned to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The sandstone buildings of Penrith, which is known for having a wide variety of specialty stores, conceal an array of charming cottages, gardens, and small businesses in their interesting yards, lanes, and alleyways.
