Lovely village, with deli style shop with all essentials, two great pubs (we tried both), a health spa and Michelin starred restaurant if you wanted. Near to Ulswater and Penrith all the things to do there.Garden was lovely with a large table and chairs for outdoor eating … driveway with space for two cars. We kept our spaniel on a lead in the garden as she would have escaped!! We had a long weekend, would 100% come back as so much more to see and do. ##### Janette Taylor ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Maya Colonial - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Xpu-Ha-Hotels-Barcelo-Maya-Colonial-All-Inclusive.h1348113.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Tulum - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Tulum-Newly-Renovated.h870784.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Calgary Downtown/Beltline District](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Calgary-DowntownBeltline-District.h33777124.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in North Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Bay-Hotels.d6134289.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Bavaro Princess - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Grand-Bavaro-Princess-All-Inclusive.h2212864.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels.d178307.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Hotel Vancouver Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Vancouver-Downtown.h21807.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Whistler](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels.d4115.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Korean Air](https://www.expedia.ca/Korean-Air-Flights.cKE.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Montego Bay (MBJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/mbj/edmonton-to-montego-bay) > > [Air Canada Toronto (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-pearson-intl-to-dubai-intl/ac/yyz/dxb) > > [Flights from Windsor (YQG) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqg/yyc/windsor-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Amsterdam (AMS) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ams/yyz/amsterdam-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Ottawa.d178296.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Portugal Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Portugal.d147.Destination-Travel-Guides)
