Escape to the countryside at Greengarth.

The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle, Brougham Hall (The Windsor of the North), Lowther Castle and Gardens, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.

    This was a stop over on our way to our trip to Scotland. We decided to stay for a few nights to chill before our trip, the lodge certainly helped with this. The lodge was warm and very comfortable. If you wanted to cook, (which we didnt) the kitchen seemed to have plenty of everything, from glasses, pans etc. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the terrace with a lovely view. My husband enjoyed the bath, a long time sine he can actually stretch out without his knees sticking out of the water! The lodge was spotless and with fluffy towels. A lot of thought has gone in to ensure you have everything you need. The only negative is the lamp on the dressing table, too dark to apply make up or style hair. We will definitely be staying again.

    Everything was perfect and the beds were so comfy slept like a baby. Peaceful and quiet had no issues with noise etc. even the neighbours were quiet think we was the loudest ones there haha. But in general was a fancy place to stay in. Will definitely stay here again and also I recommend other people to go and stay you won't regret it.

    Property has been refurbished to a high standard. Facilities were great including a washing machine and dryer, walk in shower in the ensuite as well as a bath in the main bathroom. Large property with plenty of space. Comfortable beds, plenty of seating to relax after a day hiking, a definite home from home. We will definitely be returning. We highly recommend this property, great for families.
