"Penny Bridge House is a beautiful house and full of stunning character and incredibly quirky."
I would highly recommend the house as a great location with some small local shops and beautiful pub (Britannia Inn). Ulverston is only a 5 min drive and a lovely little town with lots to do including walks.
Thanks to the owners of Penny Bridge House for a fantastic 4 nights away with 12 of us for a family 50th Wedding Anniversary.

"Brilliant stay with friends for a 30th birthday."
The house was in immaculate condition, with a welcome basket for us and the dog! Lovely, comfortable rooms and bathrooms. The first floor sitting room was great for an evening hang out with access to the garden too.
The garden was secure for the dog and there was plenty of parking. Neighbours are quite close by so you have to be mindful of those going in the garden in the evening and noise.
We didn’t explore the immediate local area, but we did take a trip to Scafell pike and completed a circular walk from Elterwater (highly reccommend) which were both easy enough to get to from Penny Bridge.
If we come to the lakes again we would 100% stay at Penny Bridge again.

"A brilliant weekend had with friends at this beautiful house."
Every detail was thought of and the generous welcome pack on arrival set the tone for the weekend. The house is huge, with plenty of space for big groups and the games room was a winner. Perfect for time away with family or a group of friends - we loved it and hope to be back in the near future

"The house had everything you could think of and it was very thoughtful with the provision of a welcome hamper to include dog treats etc."
We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, lots of secured outdoor space for the dog to run round in as well as a fab games room too.
The beds were very comfortable and everything was spotless. Amazing bathrooms and beautiful decor.
Everything was explained in the handy guidebook and plenty of facilities a short distance away

"A lovely quirky clean house."
Well equipped great kitchen and dining room.. the games room was good for all. Two comfy lounges, great garden for the dogs and children. Good choice of bedrooms. The Britannia pub a few doors down has friendly staff and allows dogs. I would recommend booking it serves great food Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday shuts Monday and Tuesday drinks only on a Wednesday.

"We loved our stay at Penny Bridge House."
It's a big old house with wonky staircases, but it was exceptionally clean and very well equipped. The back garden and parking were great. Windermere and Coniston lakes are only 20 minutes drive away, and it's a good base for touring round the rest of the Lake District. Recommended.

The house is gorgeous, even more incredible than the photos! It was so clean and well equipped. Plenty of room, there was 11 of us with our dogs and we all had enough space. The games room is great and the kitchen is stunning! We’re planning to come back again next year and already can’t wait!

"A wonderful base for a big family get together, this beautiful property exceeded all expectations and made the weekend a memorable one."
The layout and decor made it feel very special and the comfy beds were appreciated by all! The facilities were second to none, my brother in law (a professional chef) fell in love with the kitchen and prepared some amazing meals during our stay there. The games room was also a big hit with the younger ones, giving us all space to break out comfortably into the communal rooms. A truly wonderful property, I would have no hesitation in recommending it as a place to make special memories...thank you!!

"Absolutely loved our stay, kitchen was extremely well equipped, bathrooms were stunning with an amazing bath and showers."
The garden area was vast and stunning, with lots of outdoor facilities, we did have to clean the bbq before we used it though which isn't the end of the world.
The area is beautiful and local for lovely days out.
My only complaint and the reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the house is not really suitable for 4 couples plus the twins, two of the doubles are extremely small and the beds were just too small you could not fit two people comfortably in them at all. The two kingsize rooms were amazing for the couples that stayed in them one with a beautiful ensuite.
The hosts were very efficient and responded to our two queries immediately. Thank for a lovely time.

The owners have thought of everything inc providing cots, high chair, dog bowls & extensive range of family games for indoors & outdoors.
Very clean and well looked after, I would definitely recommend to others.

"What a wonderful house, very comfortable, lots of space for a mixed generation family group and a couple of dogs."
We really appreciated the attention to detail, very well equipped kitchen. Decorated and furnished beautifully throughout. Great garden and own parking all good. We had a lovely time and would also recommend the Brittania Pub just a few doors away, lovely people, great food. The Manor Restaurant at Oxon Park and the scrumptious breakfasts, bread and cakes at Bakehouse Born and Bread Cafe in Greenodd. We would definitely stay again.

"We stayed at Penny Bridge House as a group of three families - ten adults, two children and two dogs."
We were all delighted with first impressions, the house has clearly been recently renovated to a very high standard. We spent a lot of time relaxing in the downstairs lounge, which was also a good space for entertaining the twins in the early hours! The kitchen was brand new and very well-equipped with everything needed (just a minor point that we were missing a few spoons and a measuring jug). All the bedrooms were beautiful and we particularly enjoyed the comfy beds and linen. The family bathroom was so luxurious and the kids loved bathtime in the ‘big pink bath’. We normally stay in more rural properties but thought we’d try something a bit different this year. The house is only a few doors down from the local pub, and a short walk from Greenodd (which was a bit hard to navigate at first as it’s in two sections) and we fell in love with the Bakehouse cafe there. We also found it really easy to get to all the local attractions - our highlights were the steam railway, drinks by the river at the Swan Hotel, and walking around Coniston water from the lake bank jetty. I must admit, we stayed in the house a fair amount since the dogs and kids were so happy playing in garden! All in all, a long weekend wasn’t enough - we will be returning soon! Thank you for a wonderful stay, Sera and family.
Hi Sera,
We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for looking after the house so well. Bits go missing from time to time so thanks for the heads up on the jug, now replaced! We’d love to welcome you back, we’ve installed a pool table since your visit so even more reason to lounge around the house!
