Lonsdale Villa Retreat | Stunning UK Hot Tub Break

About Lonsdale Villa Retreat

Nestled in the heart of the vibrant town of Penrith settled in Cumbriaâ€™s Eden Valley is Lonsdale Villa, the ultimate rural retreat. This impressive Victorian villa has been thoughtfully renovated, blending its historic charm with beautifully-appointed, contemporary and stylish decor.

Offering guests a taste of country house life, this is the perfect dwelling for large families or a group of friends looking to explore the wonders of Cumbria and the Lake District with their beloved canine companion. After a day full of exploration, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home, find a welcoming sitting room, a snug and bar area, all boasting woodburning stoves so you can unwind and rest your feet.

The interior also houses a wonderfully-appointed kitchen with all the necessary appliances to rustle up a hearty meal that the whole family can enjoy at the dining table with room for everyone in front of the gentle warmth of the woodburning stove. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling venture into the heart of Penrith where you can stock up on essentials at the local stores or head to a local pub to toast your well-earned retreat including The Druid Arms, The Woolpack Inn or Dappers Bar.

The town is also home to the historic ruins of the 14th-century Penrith Castle; continue the historic excursion by visiting Brougham Castle, Clifton Hall or the breath-taking Lowther Castle and Gardens. Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element thanks to the abundance of walking, hiking and cycling trails on offer in the Lake District National Park.

Lonsdale Villa Retreat Reviews

Samantha

The property is absolutely stunning, set in a beautiful location. The facilities are amazing, the welcome pack was so thoughtful, the owners were friendly, kind and really went out of their way to make our stay special. I cannot recommend highly enough!!

A brilliant house for a large group, the kitchen especially is great for a large group working together and the two dishwashers a game changer! !! Very comfortable throughout and a real home from home, had everything you needed and the welcome box such a bonus. A big thank you to David and Collette for that little bit more that they provide.

Rachel

A beautiful old house, set in lovely grounds. There was plenty of space for our large family group and lots for children and dogs to enjoy. The owners responded well to questionsissues. It felt like a special place for our gettogether.

Rachel

Beautiful house surrounded by lovely well maintained gardens. Excellent venue to celebrate my mothers 80th birthday. Facilities excellent and rooms all decorated with an individual flair.We also had dogs with us and the owners even provided beds for them.Easy walking distance to Penrith town centre for a pint or two although there is a bar in the house. Thankyou for a lovely experience

Jeanette

A lovely comfortable large house which was perfect for our large family group. It was extremely well equipped. Our grandchildren loved the trampoline and hot tub. The house was beautifully decorated with great artwork throughout and the garden was delightful. Ideal position within walking distance of Penrith centre and lots to do. We walked, hiked, ran, cycled, kayaked and visited a couple of castles during our week stay. The owners, Collette and David, were extremely helpful and friendly.

While there'll be plenty to keep you entertained an Lonsdale Villa Retreat itself, if you plan to get out and about and see some of what Yorkshire Dales has to offer, here are some of the nearby attractions you can enjoy during your stay.

Found a special day out near your cottage? Please let us know and we'll add it so that other visitors can enjoy it too!

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US

about 11 Miles

This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years. There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk. For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families. Corporate groups are also well catered for.

Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP

about 17 Miles

This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out. You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles. If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files. We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU

about 17 Miles

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

about 19 Miles

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
