Saddleback Penthouse Villa - Penrith

Split-level countryside retreat with panoramic fell views near Penrith

Accommodation

Saddleback Penthouse Villa is a split-level apartment with the living space upstairs and the bedroom downstairs. The one-bedroom layout includes a living room with seating area and dressing room, plus a large bedroom with spacious cupboards. Guests have a private terrace with views across the farmland to the distant fells.

Amenities

The fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, oven, stovetop, toaster, and electric kettle. A washing machine and a dedicated laundry/utility room provide extra convenience for longer stays. Towelling robes are provided in the bathroom, and a welcome bottle of wine and biscuits await on arrival.

Dining & Local Pubs

The Otter pub, a short drive away, offers good beers and a large menu with delicious food. An 18-minute walk leads to Calthwaite Hall, where a restaurant/bar serves homemade food such as the Seafood grazing plate. The former Globe pub is now closed, but the on-site dining at Calthwaite Hall is highly recommended by returning guests.

Location & Surroundings

The property sits in a peaceful location within the grounds of a working farm, surrounded by well-maintained gardens and farmland. It is 6 km from Hutton In The Forest, 18 km from Brougham Castle, and 23 km from Askham Hall. Newcastle International Airport is 100 km away, and free on-site private parking is available directly outside the front door.

Guest Experience

The host, Liz, is noted for being friendly and responsive, resolving issues such as a shower problem within hours.
