We had a wonderful stay at Penfold. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. The outdoor space was secure for our dog and the porch/boot room and utility space made it easy to keep soggy dogs and gear seperate from the living space. It wss great to have the option of a stair gate/stairs barrier for the dog to allow us to easily keep to the (understandable!) rules of no dogs upstairs. Location wise Penford is perfect for the Eastern fells and Ullswater, with a lovely sense of seclusion. We'll be back.
