Ideally situated between Keswick, Carlisle and Penrith in an unspoilt tranquil location, semi-detached Primrose Cottage was refurbished to a very good standard in 2023 and is perfect for couples. Situated in the village of Shap, known locally as the ‘Gateway to the Fells and Lakes’, being on the eastern edge of the Lake District National Park and close to the second largest lake in the Lake District - Ullswater. The village offers a wide range of amenities including a good selection of pubs, shops, a public outdoor heated swimming pool, a children’s play area and tennis courts.
The Eden Valley provides superb walking and cycling, and the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales are easy to visit too. The atmospheric, rugged area of Haweswater, 8 miles, has a viewpoint for golden eagles, pretty villages and bustling market towns abound, with a lively calendar of farmers’ markets and county shows. There is plenty of local produce to purchase or enjoy in the many restaurants and pubs serving regional favourites. There is also excellent road access to the historic border city of Carlisle with its castle and museum, and Hadrian’s Wall, a World Heritage Site, has interesting exhibitions to visit. The Northumberland National Park and southern Scotland are both within an hour’s drive. Shop, pub and restaurant 200 yards.
Primrose Cottage can be booked together with The Rockery (UK1040) to accommodate up to 12 guests.

Had a lovely time here with our dog. Cottage is compact but has everything you’d need for a week away and was clean and tidy for our arrival. Really enjoyed our stay and the Prosecco was a nice touch Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Gorgeous cottage, had a lovely stay.
Gorgeous cottage, had a lovely stay. Really cosy and comfortable! Lovely bottle of bubbly on arrival which was a nice surprise! Very quiet and quaint. Although there was a power cut one night which was a bit scary but was fine after ten mins! Would 100% recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

I thought the cottage and location was lovely, and the cottage itself was very nicely laid out and very clean. We had some lovely walks with the dog, and the shops and pubs were within walking distance. However there was no getting away from the musty smell which I believe was the settee and chair, which to be fair the settee was very small and not very comfortable to lounge about in for two people. Would have been nice to have a bit more garden segregated off at the rear. And it is useful to have a viewing mirror so you can safely pull out of the drive. Apart from that we had a lovely time and would consider coming back  Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
