  On arrival the lady in reception was so lovely and helpful.

  Told us everything we needed to know. Very knowledgeable about the area, and, printed off maps for us. Once inside the cottage no 21, we were really pleased as it had everything we needed. Plates, dishes, cutlery pots and pans etc. Really comfy beds. We felt really at home. Unfortunately the site itself was a disappointment. We nipped to reception to enquire about booking breakfast for the morning after, and enquiring about pool opening times. We were just about to nip into the lounge area to use the WI FI, (we already knew to cottage didn't have it so we understood that), we were then told we couldn't go in that area with the dog. We asked if we were able to leave the dog in the cottage just for an hour for breakfast etc. The breakfast times are only 7.30-8. 15 am, so even if you did decide to do two sittings, it wouldn't be possible. We were told that wasn't allowed, therefore we couldn't eat on site, or go swimming as a couple. This was a real disappointment and luckily there is a great pub just outside the camp on the same side called The Beehive Inn who do great meals, we had to go into Penrith for supplies for breakfast. We did think of going separately for a swim as that wouldn't have mattered, unfortunately there is no lifeguard so at least two people over 18 have to be in the pool. Really disappointed as although cottage is dog friendly, the same can't be said for the camp.

  Lovely house and lovely area.

  We arrived on the Monday we had that sigh of relief you have when you arrive at a strange location you’ve booked online, when you drive through the local area. Town of Penrith was on the door step and the villlage the house is located is somewhere you can walk through at night without fear. Virtually crime free. The house is located next to the river which gave a nice relaxing sound when you sleep. No need for Alexa to play relaxing sounds! The house is beautiful. We brought everything we need from tea towels to Salt and pepper but there is no need as the owners had stocked the house with all the essentials, even a welcome basket. Kitchen is a huge cooking and social area with a kitchen island and massive fridge/freezer. To our delight, we forgot to bring ice however the fridge dispenser had an ice option ( took the heat off me!). Living room comfy with electric fire place and the bedrooms where well set up with plenty of places for guests. The garden is fully sealed in for the dog to run around with no worries. We had a brilliant week at Mill end house. Top tip, try the crown pub in the village. Michael the landlord is a great character and does a mixture of English and Thai food. My only negative ( and this negative is only small) the pillows were a little bulky and hard. We would book again and bring those with us.

  We loved our holiday at Eamont Park, the house was lovely.

  Absolutely spotlessly clean and so well equipped with most things you would need. The shower was lovely. There was plenty of storage space in the house. The ladies on reception were really friendly. We made good use of the pool and mostly had the pool to ourselves when we used it, there was a jacuzzi in there too. Hours of use are limited and you cannot use it at the weekend which was a shame. There are lots of supermarkets in Penrith, an Aldi, Sainburys, Morrisons, Booths, M & S Food Hall. Penrith is about a 20 minute walk away and has some lovely independent shops there and places to eat. I would recommend a takeaway from Go Greek in the town, great food and reasonably priced. You are close to Ullswater Lake, we enjoyed days out to Keswick too which was not too far away, we parked in Keswick Rugby Club for £5 all day when we visited which was good value. There are some lovely walks around the Derwent not far from the car park. The garden slightly lets the accommodation down and could do with some attention although it was perfectly dog friendly. Only things I would say are missing from the accommodation were some soup bowls, a grater and some pegs for the washing line would be handy. Thansk for a lovely stay !

  We had a fantastic stay in 12 Eamont Park.

  We found the property to be very clean upon arrival and the complimentary gift basket and milk was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The beds were lovely and comfortable and there was plenty of storage throughout the property. However there are no cleaning supplies at all so guests will need to bring their own washing up liquid, tea towels, and cloths. Use of the pool was a great added bonus. Guests should be aware there are restricted times of use and lone swimming isnt permitted due to safety reasons, as there is no lifeguard. Reception staff were very pleasant, checking in and out was straightforward. We did have a few suggestions that could make an already lovely property even better. We had young children with us aged 7 and 8 and thought perhaps the addition of some plastic tumblers for drinks would be beneficial to reduce the chance of breakages, especially when there are only 4 of everything. Also perhaps providing a folder including information about the property with regards to checking out. For example what to do with bins, linens etc. In addition to this providing some information about the area, places of interest etc, or even a general guest book as they can be very useful when visiting a new area.

  Where to start with this property it was incredible.

  I almost don't want to tell people how good it is lol. The house was absolutely spotless, the cleanest place I've ever stayed. The house is decorated to a very high standard and not a scuff or mark on any of the walls. Soo many glasses (great choice) and mugs, plates etc. I spent alot of time in the kitchen it's absolutely stunning. This property had so many tvs as well, not that i personally watched anything. Sofas are so comfy and soo much room. Beds were very very comfy, if I had to say one negative thing the pillows are a bit firm and uncomfortable but that's minor. The garden is so beautiful and to hear the river was just heaven. Mill End really is such a special place that I've fallen in love with. All very secure for our dog as well. The owners Trev and Heidi are really lovely and helpful and friendly. Although they live across from the property you don't feel like they are on top of you like I've felt in pervious holiday homes. I can not wait to come back, I was really sad to leave, it's deffo stolen a piece of my heart. Thank you ever so much and we will see yous again xx
