3 Bedroom Cottage in Penrith

Escape with your loved ones to this wonderfully-converted barn just 10 miles from the quaint village of Kirkby Stephen. Sleeping six people across three inviting bedrooms, this cottage is the perfect accommodation choice for families or groups of friends looking for a characterful cottage to call home while they discover the timeless beauty of the Cumbria together. During the day, visit the lively market town of Kirkby Stephen, before returning home to enjoy an al fresco dinner in the cottage’s lovely, elevated garden.

Enter this sleek cottage that has managed to preserve its wonderful heritage and you’ll be greeted by an inviting hallway leading to a spacious, contemporary-style kitchen and an elegant dining area. Take a few steps up and make yourself at home in the rustic lounge area, before heading back to the kitchen to whip up some dinner. Gather everyone to eat at the stylish dining table or head out to the lawn area to dine alfresco. After dinner, sip a glass of wine in front of the glowing wood burner in the lounge area, or grab a blanket and cosy up on the balcony to take in the country views. At the end of the day, head upstairs and you’ll find a beautifully furnished, king-size bedroom complete with a grand en-suite shower room. Or descend to the lower-ground floor to find a super-king-size bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. Next door there’s a bright and airy twin bedroom that also offers courtyard access. Completing the lower level is a tasteful family bathroom.

Head off to Nine Standards Rigg (12.5 miles) and take the moderate climb to the top and you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Alternatively, explore the impressive ruins of Brough Castle (13 miles), which offer panoramic views over the Eden Valley.
