  • "The cottage is an ideal place for a stay in the north Lakes."

    It is cosy, well maintained and well equipped. Great off road parking to the rear of the property and well off the (quiet) road through the village. A short stroll to The Sun Inn which is excellent.

    The location is excellent and very convenient for visiting Penrith and the north of the Lake District. The welcome pack was a very nice gesture and much appreciated. Carole the hostess was at hand if we needed anything. Well worth a visit for someone who’s not a walking but need peace and tranquility.

  • "It was a lovely cottage with everything you could want in it."

    Lovely welcome items to start the holiday. Carol was a very good host and kept us informed of things before we arrived. The Sun Inn pub literally five minutes walk has excellent quality food and reasonable prices. It was a good central location to travel north or south around the area. So much to see and do in The Lake District and we love it. We will definitely be returning.

  • "This is a very pleasant property, calm and tasteful."

    Internet good, parking good, big bed very comfortable (a little firm as I like it), communication 1st class. I chose the location near Penrith so that I could access the Lakes, the North Pennines or the Eden Valley and that worked beautifully. Also there's a Booths supermarket a few minutes drive.

  • "We had a lovely stay in this cottage which is tucked away in a peaceful village."

    It was very well equipped and comfortable. It was spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. We loved having off-road parking and the use of outside facilities including a shed and a covered washing line. The owner was extremely helpful and accommodating without being in the least bit intrusive. We especially appreciated the big jug of fresh yellow roses and a box of biscuits to go with the tea and coffee supplies which had been left for us. Thank you so much.

    We love this place and will happily quote "its just feels like home". The place is always spotless and the welcoming flowers, coffee, milk - even chocs! plus jams make the return to stay so lovely. A very quiet place, set in a lovely location with the Sun Inn Local pub a very short walk away. East access to the top of the Lakes or explore North and Western areas. Love it and we shall return AGAIN!

    The cottage had everything we needed for our week away, including the useful household items you need but don't want to bring but are never sure will be there (iron, ironing board, hairdryers, towels, tea-towels etc) as well as a generous and well received welcome basket of goodies (tea, coffee, fruit, biscuits etc etc etc!) to get you settled in after your journey there.

The property

Penrith 2.9 miles.

Nestled in the quaint village of Newton Reigny, a stone's throw away from the town of Penrith, rests this traditional end-terrace holiday home, 3 Springfort Cottages.

Centrally positioned between the picturesque landscapes of the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines, 3 Springfort Cottages is the perfect base for outdoor adventurers looking to explore.

Ideally situated to visit Ullswater, only 8 miles away, and 17 miles to Keswick which is host to Keswick Museum, Derwent Pencil Museum and Puzzling Place, in addition to a great selection of convenience stores, boutique shops, pubs and cafes where you can treat your loved ones or stock up on the essentials, 3 Springfort Cottages is the perfect base to begin your adventures in Cumbria.

Be charmed by the well-maintained garden nestled at the foot of this lovely dwelling, offering a lovely spot to soak in the evening sun, before kicking off your shoes as you step over the threshold and into your delightful holiday home.

After an action-packed day, put your feet up and unwind with a cup of tea and a leisurely seat in front of the television in the sitting room, enveloped in the warmth of the glow from the electric fire.

Venture through to the kitchen/diner, traditionally decorated with farmhouse-style furnishings, housing all of the essential amenities required to cook up a storm, gathering your loved ones around the dining table that takes centre stage in the sociable space to serve your culinary delights.

If you're lucky enough to experience the warmer weather, take your experience outdoors to indulge in a spot of alfresco dining on the patio, soaking in the peaceful setting of your private space as you toast a glass of fizz to an unforgettable holiday.

When the evening grows darker, climb the stairs to the first-floor and prepare for bed with a luxurious soak amongst the bubbles in the family bathroom, before retiring for the evening to one of the two bedrooms, with the choice between a king-size and a double, both beautifully-appointed with a neutral interior and offering a calming ambiance to rest your head.

Take a break from doing the cooking and take the short stroll to the nearby quintessentially English village pub, The Sun Inn, and indulge in a home-cooked meal prepared with locally sourced ingredients in a family-friendly and cosy atmosphere; after satisfying your appetite, enjoy a leisurely walk in the countryside.

There's a host of things to do and see in the popular town of Penrith, including the medieval ruins of Penrith Castle, dating back to the 14th century, and the fascinating exhibitions of local history on display at Penrith and Eden Museum, or if that's not your thing, test your swing with a round of golf at the towns 18-hole course.

Avid outdoor adventurers are spoilt for choice with the plethora of walking, cycling and hiking routes available from your doorstep, with the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines both within easy reach; tackle the challenging climb to the summit of Scaffel Pike, the highest mountain in England, or marvel at High Force Waterfall as it cascades 69ft through a secluded forest.

The border city of Carlisle has much to offer including Hadrian's Wall, Carlisle Cathedral, Cumbria's Museum of Military Life, Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, as well as a wealth of pubs and restaurants where you can refuel and relax.

Whisk your loved ones away on a countryside retreat with a stay at 3 Springfort Cottages.
