Udford House Edenhall Estate, Penrith

Udford House Edenhall Estate sits in the rolling Cumbrian countryside near Penrith. This spacious six-bedroom lodge sleeps 12 people and offers breathtaking rural views across the estate. Perfect for large families or groups wanting to escape without actually being too far from civilization.

The location feels wonderfully remote yet you're just 2 miles from shops and pubs. Supermarkets are 5 minutes away and the stunning Lake District is a mere 10-minute drive. Explore Ullswater Steamers, walk with alpacas, or tour boutique gin distilleries. Then return to your private estate grounds where the kids can run wild while you pour another glass of wine.

The accommodation features one super-king bedroom (which can be twins if needed), two king-size bedrooms and three twin rooms. With three bathrooms including an ensuite, family bathroom and shower room, morning queues won't be an issue. The well-equipped kitchen has an electric range, dishwasher and everything needed for proper meals. There's even a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer.

Visit Penrith Castle ruins (10 minutes), try Ullswater Steamers (15 minutes), explore Lowther Castle gardens (20 minutes), or go alpaca walking (25 minutes). All close enough to enjoy without spending half your holiday in the car.

Udford House Edenhall Estate delivers luxury without pretension. Soak in the hot tub with a drink while the kids exhaust themselves in the enclosed garden. Even dogs love it here - up to three welcome!
