"Wonderful, spacious farmhouse, tastefully renovated."
Wanted to spend my 60th birthday in Glenridding and this was perfect. There is a huge boot room, perfect for storing walking gear and drying off our lab Rupert after a day out. The house is just lovely, clean and comfortable, bedrooms and showers brilliant. The kitchen has an Aga, first time of using one but quite easy once I got used to it. We didn’t get to use the garden a great deal but I can imagine in the summer we would sit out in the evening. The location of the property means you don’t need a car, so many walks from the door. An absolutely perfect week and we will definitely return. Thank you to the owners for the fizz and the chocolates.

The property
Tucked away in the Lake District National Park in Glenridding, Cumbria is the marvellous, detached house of Eagle Farmhouse.
A Grade II listed building that dates back to the 17th century whilst enjoying views over Glenridding Beck, the Eagle Farmhouse is an idyllic retreat for a group of six's stay in the Lake District.
After passing through the electric gate and parking in one of three off-road spaces, make your way inside and leave your things in the handy boot room.
Continue to a charming snug with exposed beams adorning the ceiling, where you can cosy up in front of the flames of the woodburning stove after a day packed with climbing; why not grab a book from the generous selection available?
Move across the ground floor to find a light and airy open-plan living space, where you can discover a fantastically equipped kitchen, where the designated chef can rustle up a feast on the wealth of appliances available, including an AGA range.
When dinner is served, grab a bottle of wine from the spacious wine cellar and gather your group around the dining table as you tuck into a nourishing meal and discuss the day's events.
Just off the dining area is another sitting area, where you can stretch out after a long day and warm your toes on an additional woodburning stove; switch on the Smart TV and watch your favourite show, with the bonus of a Sonos surround sound system to enhance your viewing experience.
Before bed, throw any muddy clothes into the utility room's washing machine.
Head upstairs to find three beautifully appointed king-size rooms, with one enjoying access to an en-suite shower room, and the other two king-size rooms sharing a a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, where a freestanding bath takes centre stage; all the bedrooms boast vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, giving them a rustic feel.
The rear garden is a wonderful space, and you will be able to tell that a lot of effort has been put into it, with a winding patio housing a sheltered seating area with a pizza oven and seating, so you can enjoy a stone-baked dinner amongst the stairs; the space also hosts another dining area, a fire pit with seating and a vast lawn, making the garden a fabulous socialising spot.
The village of Glenridding is home to a good range of eateries and shops for you to visit, as well as being just a stone's throw away from Ullswater, where ample watersports activities await; the village additionally backs onto a range of peaks, from Helvellyn to Place Fell, so the walkers of the group will be pleased!
A scenic drive will take you to Windermere, where a variety of attractions await, from Lake Windermere and the Windermere Jetty Museum to the stunning viewpoints of Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head.
For a day out with a difference, venture to Penrith, where you can explore the remains of Penrith Castle, wander through the stunning Thacka Beck Nature Reserve, and tour the fascinating Penrith and Eden Museum.
With more towns to explore within the National Park, including Keswick and Cockermouth, you will rarely find yourself with little to do during your stay.
An unforgettable stay awaits at Eagle Farmhouse.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
