Property code: OC-SZ383

Nestled in the pretty Eden Valley, this holiday home is surrounded by beautiful scenery. A network of paths and bridleways lead from your door so you can leave the car behind and head out to stretch your legs or take the dog for a walk. The village of Little Salkeld (4.5 miles) is a great place to begin a loop taking in Lacy’s Caves (7.6 miles from home) and Long Meg and Her Daughters (4.5 miles from home). The bustling town of Penrith (9 miles) is a top destination for retail therapy or a night away from the kitchen. Venture into the Lake District and board a traditional Ullswater Steamer 13 miles away at Ullswater for a family-friendly and dog-friendly trip out.

Step inside the grand hallway, an impressive entrance hall with exposed brickwork and floods of natural light, then climb the stairs to the first floor, where the open-plan kitchen/diner and large lounge can be found. Sit beneath the vaulted ceiling and choose from one of many sofas to relax on, while the wood burner keeps you cosy. The spacious kitchen/diner has an electric oven and induction hob, microwave and useful dishwasher, while the long table comfortably seats eight. Completing the first floor are two of four bedrooms and a handy utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and WC. There is a lovely king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom featuring a bath and handheld shower. Next is an enormous king-size bedroom which boasts a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone wall and a stylish en-suite shower room. Head back down to the ground floor to find the remaining bedrooms. Both bedrooms on this floor are king-size rooms which can be made as twins on request at time of booking. The ground floor is also home to the family bathroom with free-standing bath, separate shower and WC.

Take a drink or a snack outside to the large, enclosed garden where there is plenty of space to relax, play or chase your tail. Furniture is provided from May through September, though may be provided earlier if the weather is warm. There is off-road parking for approximately three cars.

Park house is a stunning property, there was ample space for our family of 7 adults. The kitchen/dining area were lovely for us to come together at breakfast to plan our day and then the large lounge area with ample sofas was a great space to relax in the evenings altogether. We had the beds all as doubles or some can be made into twins and all theRead more bedrooms were good sizes, two being en suites. The grounds are stunning and the surrounding area is beautiful. We will definitely be returning. Hide

An amazing holiday home. Stayed with our 4 yr old, 2 yr old and grandparents as well as our dog. Set up will for small people, as they have highchairs, travel cots and stair gates etc. Lovely to stay on a working farm the children loved watching the cows, bats and house Martins. We were treated to some lovely sunsets and views from the house too. ARead morenne-Louise is very helpful with excellent communication. Would highly recommend. Hide

As mentioned in the star rating, the house was very pleasant. Our only drawback was there wasnt any walks from the house itself. We had to go by car for any nice walks.
