This beautiful, traditional lakeland country house is set against a backdrop of high fell, at the far head of the Kentmere Valley.

Running north from the village of Staveley, parallel to the Troutbeck valley, it is a most protected and unspoiled area of natural beauty and, though popular with true walkers, remains peaceful.

The river Kent flows through the valley floor with fells rising up from either side and, at the northern head, is the hamlet of Kentmere.

The setting is idyllic, with views down the valley that hold your gaze, and gardens that meander, exploding with colour during spring and summer. It is easy to see why many guests refuse to venture out, but simply stay and relax in and around the house.

Pengennett

The house has been roughly divided into two separate accommodations, with some areas left for the owners private use, and offers its guests a choice between Pengennett and The Mews, each a perfect and quite retreat for couples.

The house is approached by a sweeping drive, where you enter Pengennett from the south wing private entrance.You step into a large lobby, off which is the old dairy, with its slate shelving and stone floors, perfect for storing all your provisions, boots and bits.

The main living space is one large room. Here you have a comfy, high backed sofa and arm chair, a dining table, an eclectic mix of ornament and soft lighting, all centered on the AGA cooker and with views out to the garden and valley.

From the main area you go through to a grand hall and staircase to the upper floor. Here is the large and beautifully furnished double bedroom, with views out to the valley. Fine furniture and a huge brass bed, along with delightful decor will ensure the sweetest of dreams.

The bathroom is pure luxury. Large, spacious and beautifully fitted and furnished, here you can truly relax and soak in a bubble heaven after a day on the fells. Adjoining the main bathroom is a separate shower room, so need for a queue!

The grounds are extensive and quite stunning with plenty to share, where you can dine on the terrace overlooking the valley, or wander off on to grassy banks and find a shady spot to relax.

Both The Mews and Pengennett are two of my favorite properties, offering comfort, a warm welcome and true retreat to relax and revive.
