Penruddock Cottages

Tucked just off the A66 between Penrith and Keswick, the peaceful village of Penruddock offers an ideal setting for a Lake District holiday. Surrounded by the stunning Ullswater and Caldbeck fells, it’s perfect for those who love getting outdoors, with beautiful walks available right from your doorstep.

At the heart of the village, you’ll find a traditional pub offering a warm, friendly welcome, along with delicious home-cooked food made from locally sourced ingredients and a great selection of local ales.

Just a short 10-minute drive brings you to the shores of Ullswater and the popular village of Pooley Bridge, while Keswick—renowned for its shops, cafés, and attractions—is only around 20 minutes away. The nearby market town of Penrith, also just 10 minutes away, offers even more choice for dining, shopping, and exploring.

Whether you’re looking for an action-packed adventure or a relaxing escape, Penruddock is perfectly placed to enjoy the very best of the Lake District.
