If taking a dog the enclosed garden is very welcome, it is a shame the Charity has to charge £49 because of other visitors lack of respect for the property. Overall a very nice and comfortable stay, also the TV was great on a very rainy day.

Absolutely spotlessly clean and so well equipped with most things you would need. The shower was lovely. There was plenty of storage space in the house. The ladies on reception were really friendly. We made good use of the pool and mostly had the pool to ourselves when we used it, there was a jacuzzi in there too. Hours of use are limited and you cannot use it at the weekend which was a shame. There are lots of supermarkets in Penrith, an Aldi, Sainburys, Morrisons, Booths, M & S Food Hall. Penrith is about a 20 minute walk away and has some lovely independent shops there and places to eat. I would recommend a takeaway from Go Greek in the town, great food and reasonably priced. You are close to Ullswater Lake, we enjoyed days out to Keswick too which was not too far away, we parked in Keswick Rugby Club for £5 all day when we visited which was good value. There are some lovely walks around the Derwent not far from the car park. The garden slightly lets the accommodation down and could do with some attention although it was perfectly dog friendly. Only things I would say are missing from the accommodation were some soup bowls, a grater and some pegs for the washing line would be handy. Thansk for a lovely stay !
