Carleton House is a beautiful period property in the Cumbrian village of Clifton, two miles from Penrith and just five miles from the northern shore of Ullswater. It's ideal for exploring the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you're the sort of person who can't get enough of being outdoors in beautiful natural surroundings, this house is perfect for you. It's huge, with space for eight people to sleep in four bedrooms, stunning views of the Eden Valley, and a layout that works for families - including multi-generational families, or friends on holiday together. Even better, the welcoming George & Dragon pub is only a 10-minute walk away, giving you the opportunity for a pint or meal out on the nights you don't feel like cooking.
Clifton is close to everywhere you want to be yet away from what can be a busy tourist trail in peak season, making it ideal for both fun and relaxation. The Eden Valley is well known for the quality of its footpaths and mountain bike trails, especially those around Clifton and Penrith. A favourite local walk leads from the centre of Penrith town through woodland to the summit of Beacon Hill. Take a picnic and enjoy lunch against the backdrop towards Ullswater in the south and Solway Firth and the mountains of Southern Scotland. Other footpaths go to places like King Arthur's Round Table, Mayburgh Henge, Long Meg and her Daughters, and Little Meg. The evidence of thousands of years of history is everywhere if you know where to look.
Penrith is more than merely a starting point for a pretty walk. The vibrant town has a wealth of shops and other amenities that include a weekly market every Tuesday. Local attractions include Penrith Castle and park, The Rheged Centre, Hutton-in-the-Forest, Lowther Castle and gardens, and Acorn Bank. Penrith also has a leisure centre, cinema and soft play centre.
Ullswater is a massive 7.5 miles long, making it the second biggest body of water in the Lake District. The views from any angle are gorgeous, especially the stretch between Glenridding and Howtown, and it's an excellent choice for walking, cycling, sailing and paddleboarding. In the summer, book a ticket with Ullswater Cruisers and sail the waters in style on a heritage steamer. Within half an hour's drive of the cottage are Bassenthwaite, Skiddaw, Keswick, the Whilatter Forest and the north of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, while Hadrian's Wall, and Gretna Green are a little further.
Carleton House is newly refurbished and feels light, fresh and modern. It's available for holidays all year round with short breaks possible depending on availability.
