“This is our third stay in Herdwick cabin & fourth stay at Hutton John Estate & we love it.”

The cabin is just brilliant, spacious, modern, clean & in such an idyllic spot! The hot tub is a must looking over the fields nestled on the edge of the wood. Thank you so much for the locally sourced welcome pack. We’ve walked from the cabin to Dacre & Pooley Bridge a few times now & it never disappoints! We will be back for sure.

“Property was lovely and welcome basket was very nice.”

As we were staying for 6 days it would have been even better if there was more than 2 teabags in the basket. Also, we tried to use the hot tub but with the wood provided it didn't get hot enough which we found disappointing as we couldn't use the hot tub in the end which is the primary reason we booked this cottage cabin

- Sally, March 2025

Hello Sally, Thank you for your feedback. Great to hear you thought the cabin was lovely. A small number of people struggle to light the fire for the hot tub, even though we leave instructions. With a little guidance in person from us you could have got it right. I’m sure there was a good reason why you didn’t phone or email us during your 6 day stay to ask for some help. All the best, Kate. Property Owner

“The stay was fantastic.”

There's was plenty of little extras that go beyond an expectation of a holiday. They left us yummy treats including thoughtful treats for a birthday. The owners are very friendly and helpful they don't mind going out the way of what you need and offer what they think could be helpful. They offered us lifts as we didnt drive and offered advice on the walks and places nearby. The place itself has a beautiful view this cabin in particular had the nest of a view and was the more secluded one. It's also fairly quiet for being near a main road. And the cabin is very cozy and the hot tub experience is also a worth while one. We even had wildlife join us by the hot tub. And once the wood has burned down the heat in the hot tub is unreal and stays for a very long time so it definitely worth the wait. Pretty much if your looking for peace and quiet or your a outdoorsy person this is a good place to pick. We stayed for a week and never became fed up of any of it and still didn't want to leave. Hutton John is definitely going to be top of our list when we want some child free time and a romantic time away.

Hello Sophie, Thank you for the glowing written review. However you have given the cabin a poor score which has unfortunately brought the cabin’s overall rating down, so I’m not quite sure how to response to your feedback. I think the written review is how you felt about it, rather than the rating as you said you would return. All the best, Kate. Property Owner

“Fantastic cabin, very private and comfortable, deceptively large and everything finished to a high standard.”

We had lovely walks in the grounds and enjoyed walking to the pub in Dacre. Wish we had booked for longer! Will definitely be back soon, so much more to see. Christian and Melissa

About the location

PENRUDDOCK

Keswick 11 miles; Penrith 6 miles.

The charming old village of Penruddock sits in a secluded position in the northern Lake District between Keswick and Penrith, and just four miles from Ullswater. The village is spread out amongst beautiful rolling countryside and wonderful scenery and is made up of a number of farm dwellings, traditional Lakeland homes and two churches. Penruddock originated in Celtic times, with the name derived from Pen, a Celtic name for 'hill' and 'rhuddawc' meaning red in Welsh to reflect the reddish brown colour of the soil found in the area. Nearby, the popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the north of the Lake District and has plenty to offer, boasting numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, some good parks, the Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema and the beautiful lake. Penruddock provides easy access to the spectacular surrounding Cumbrian countryside which can be explored by both car and on foot, and with the southern Lakes, Eden Valley, Solway Coast and Hadrian's Wall all within easy motoring distance this great location has plenty to see and do for all the family.

Please Note: Not suitable for children. Sorry no Hot Tub towels provided and enough wood is provided first night
