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.

The Mews

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

The house is approached by a sweeping drive, where you enter The Mews from the private front entrance and small hall.

The sitting room is a delight with peaceful fabrics, well chosen furniture with a plump sofa set by a roaring log fire. By the window is your dining table where you have beautiful views down the valley to the distant tarn.

The kitchen is small but well furnished and equipped, with a door opening to the rear gardens.

From the sitting room stairs lead up and open into the bedroom. Light floods in through double windows which are again filled with views of the valley. Beautifully furnished and with a excellent en-suite shower room, sweet dreams are assured.

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 favourite properties, offering comfort, a warm welcome and true retreat to relax and revive.
