The Rambler Rose

Enjoy a stay at this lovely period cottage in the pretty village of Newby, 8 miles from the historic market town of Penrith. Featuring an open-plan living area, an enclosed south-facing garden and an abundance of walking and cycling trails almost from the front door, this dog-friendly cottage is a great base for families or groups of friends keen to explore the Eden Valley, the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines.

This deceptively large two-storey cottage is set off a quiet country road lined with other properties of equally charming character. Its bright and fresh interior is punctuated by contemporary soft furnishings and modern conveniences that help to create a comforting ambience across both floors. Entering via the hallway, you can all unwind to your heart’s content in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, whether enjoying indulgent brunches created using local produce, getting lost in an audiobook on the plush sofas or watching a late film as the dogs snooze on the parquet flooring. If you don’t fall asleep there too, you’re guaranteed a restful night in either of the cottage's bedrooms: an en-suite double bedroom or en-suite twin bedroom that can be made up into a super-king-size bedroom upon request. Outside in the south-facing garden, start the day right with a morning coffee, lose an hour in a good book or absorb the stars with a nightcap. A nearby drying room is ideal for rejuvenating battle-hardened clothes and footwear.

The awe-inspiring Eden Valley is brimming with historic market towns including Penrith and Appleby-in-Westmorland (within 8 miles), both of which offer a fantastic flavour of the area’s culture and history. The twins are also key milestones on the Lakes and Dales Loop, a must for experienced cyclists. The northern edge of the Lake District National Park, home to Ullswater Haweswater, is just 6 miles from the cottage.
