The charming old village of Penruddock sits in a secluded position in the northern Lake District between Keswick and Penrith, and just four miles from Ullswater. The village is spread out amongst beautiful rolling countryside and wonderful scenery and is made up of a number of farm dwellings, traditional Lakeland homes and two churches. Penruddock originated in Celtic times, with the name derived from Pen, a Celtic name for 'hill' and 'rhuddawc' meaning red in Welsh to reflect the reddish brown colour of the soil found in the area. Nearby, the popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the north of the Lake District and has plenty to offer, boasting numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, some good parks, the Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema and the beautiful lake.

    Enjoyed our time there very clean and well maintained I would have liked an instruction manual for the hob still not sure it was a bit strange to use But that’s very minor We did have bother with the two sockets for the toaster and the kettle The switch keeps tripping think that’s it thanks will definitely stay again

    I have slight issues and would have benefited from a grab rail of some sort in the bath to help get in and out to use the shower. The TV and bose weren't working and reception told us they couldn't help. It didn't spoil our stay but it would have been nice to be able to use the TV instead of our ipad.

    Perhaps a little more lighting and a brush to sweep
