The Best Homes in Cumbria

Life on the Green

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Clapham cum Newby, North Yorkshire

We dare you to find a traditional Yorkshire Dales cottage more charming than this, folks. Tucked away on the edge of a pretty green in the hamlet of Newby and close to the conservation village of Clapham, the setting is idyllic.

The Cumbrian Hearth

• 5 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Matterdale, Penrith

Once the hunting lodge for the Duke of Norfolk, this home in the Cumbrian countryside has a sweeping view of Ullswater and the surrounding fells. To make the most of the vantage point, the open dining and living room is up on the top floor, so you can dine and recline with a sublime view – perfect with the wood-burner crackling away.

Dukes & Duchesses

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Penrith, Westmorland and Furness

At Ullswater Lake, the second biggest in the Lake District, you’ll find a diverse range of landscapes and activities as you hike around its enormous perimeter. From the quaint village of Pooley Bridge, with traditional pubs and cute restaurants, take a fourteen-minute stroll to reach an altogether different scene – an isolated, romantic boathouse.
