About this property

A fabulous single-storey detached cottage in the attractive grounds of the owner's home, on the edge of the pretty village of Great Strickland, seven miles from Penrith. Built to a high standard, Sunny Hill provides first-class accommodation in a quiet, peaceful location, ideal for a get-away-from-it-all romantic break in the country. The open-plan living area is spacious, light and airy, with French doors leading to a private, south-facing patio area, while exposed beams, Velux windows, a cosy woodburner and great views ensure that Sunny Hill will be a holiday home to remember. A wonderful base for enjoying the inspirational Lake District, the Eden Valley Circular Cycle Route passes the cottage, while just a short drive away are Appleby, delightful Pooley Bridge and the magnificent lakes at Ullswater and Haweswater.

Ideally placed for exploring the Lake District and Eden Valley, the attractive, unspoilt rural village of Great Strickland makes an excellent holiday spot. Most of the local amenities for the village are provided by the nearby market town of Penrith and include a good selection of shops and restaurants, a cinema and swimming baths. Great Strickland does have some amenities with an excellent village pub. Just two miles away is the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre whilst a cruise on one of Ullswater's motor yachts is also worth investigating – these leave hourly from Pooley Bridge, just five miles from Great Strickland. Dalemain Historic House, which was used as a backdrop in a television adaptation of Jane Eyre, is nearby as is the Rheged Discovery Centre, giving visitors a wide selection of holiday activities.

    Cosy cottage ideal to chill out in front of log burner fire. All you need for a short break is in place and hosts very friendly should need anything. Good selection of restaurants and pubs within a 5/6 mile range with local pub 10 minute walk although it's on country road. All in all no complaints and would certainly make a return visit.

    Great outside space for our little dog Jess to explore. Neil and Michelle where on hand if we needed anything and we enjoyed the bottle of wine and local brownies they left us as a little welcome gift. Plenty of wood on hand for the log burner which was lovely. Even without the log burner the cottage was quite warm as the radiators hear up very quickly too! Great location and only 45 minutes from Windamere, Bowness, Ambleside and Keswick. The local Co-op 10 minute drive away was well stocked and handy for bits and bobs! Overall a great stay despite the very wet weather but that didn't dampen anything!!

    Neil asked if we had any problems when we departed, saying if guests don't tell us we don't know. We mentioned a light bulb in the cooker hood and he fixed it. Would recommend this cottage.
