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.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2025
Nice little cottage tucked away from the high street but only a short walk to the shops and pubs, A bit dusty in places with lots of cobwebs in the eves upstairs but generally clean and tidy. The living room is small but cosy, kitchen has everything you should need even for a long stay. The bedroom has good storage however the bed frame feels worn out and creeks even when turing over which could wake a partner up. I only down scored overall because we had no hand soap in the bathroom when we arrived and half a toilet roll other than that it was good value.

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

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!
