Eden Valley Holiday Cottage
Lazonby
Cumbria
Exclusive River Eden Location & Iconic Walking Trails
Perched right on the banks of the River Eden, this historic 18th-century Grade II-listed cottage offers a picturesque countryside escape where you can step straight out your front door onto scenic riverbank paths. Guests enjoy exclusive access to a private section of the river—a famed Cumbrian fishing spot featured on the BBC’s Gone Fishing Christmas Special with Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse. Wander local bridleways to nearby Little Salkeld (5 miles) to discover ancient landmarks like Lacy’s Cave and the Long Meg Stone Circle. The bustling market town of Penrith (7 miles) offers boutique shopping, dining, and a cinema, while iconic Lake District destinations like Lake Ullswater and Aira Force Waterfall are just 17 miles away for steamer cruises and waterfall walks.
Historic 18th-Century Character & Atmospheric Interiors
Blending original period features with generous family accommodation, the interior is rich in Cumbrian heritage:
Atmospheric Lounge: Relax under exposed wooden timber beams in front of a roaring open fire, or curl up on the window seat to take in tranquil views of the surrounding countryside.
Kitchen & Feature Dining Space: Cook with ease in the fully equipped kitchen (electric oven, hob, microwave, and dishwasher) and share meals around a dining setup positioned beside a magnificent feature window overlooking the landscape.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms: The ground floor offers a convenient utility room with a washing machine and a ground-floor shower room with WC. Upstairs, three light-filled bedrooms await—one double room and two spacious twin bedrooms, featuring ornamental period fireplaces and original timber beams—alongside a large family bathroom with a deep soaking bath and WC.
Private View Patio & Woodland Riverbank Access
Step outside to a private patio commanding spectacular, elevated views across the River Eden and surrounding fells—the ultimate setting for morning coffee or al fresco dining on warm summer evenings. Steps lead down from the terrace into shared natural woodland and onto the private riverbank, perfect for wildlife watching, peaceful strolls, or quiet afternoons by the water.
