Wish we could have stayed longer x
Firstly, Liz was super helpful and friendly. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by well maintained gardens and farmland, with views over to the fells. The property is the classic stone for the area and had been really well looked after. The interior is really smart and country modern, with loads of tech. It is well equipped and just feels luxurious. The biscuits and Prosecco welcome are a very nice touch. I would happily stay here again, and would highly recommend it to others. An 18 minute walk took us to Calthwaite Hall where we had a fantastic meal and great beer. All in all, we had a very comfortable, relaxing and peaceful stay, and will happily stay there again.

Beautiful place in which to relax
Located in one of the former outbuildings of a farm, the property is in a wonderful peaceful location. Plenty of parking directly outside the front door. The two-storey property takes advantage of the views across the well-maintained farmland onto the hills in the distance, by having the living accommodation upstairs, and the bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The laundry/utility room is a great benefit, especially when the weather is a bit inclement, as it was for us. It’s a great place to dry out your clothing. Lovely large spacious bedroom. The host was friendly and helpful. We had a small query with changing the water jets in the shower, but after a quick phone call, I was sent a video showing how to do this. I notice in a previous review that a hairdryer wasn’t provided. This has now been resolved and there is one available. Again there is good space in the kitchen, for any food preparation, and in the living area to relax in.
Not really a dislike as such, however, just be aware that if you forget to bring any provisions, you can’t just pop down the road to get them; it is a bit of a drive.

Great place to stay, close to the Lakes
We really enjoyed our stay here. Fabulous location, so peaceful. Village pub for a drink & you can eat at the restaurant/bar that is within Calthwaite Hall grounds, very friendly welcome & suburb food in a beautiful settling. It’s easy to get around from here, Ullswater/Pooley Bridge/Keswick under 30 mins drive away. The apartment has everything you need and more. Spotlessly clean. Good WiFi. Thank you Liz for the treats, these were appreciated.
The bed while huge & comfortable with spotless, fresh linen squeaked every time we turned over.

A great escape
Accommodation was lovely & spacious, spotlessly clean, and well equipped. We loved sitting out on the balcony & admiring the stunning views. We also liked having a cuppa in the lovely little sun room by the front door. The owners house, together with 2 other properties, are on the grounds. The surrounding areas are exceptionally well maintained. We had a slight issue with the shower, but when we informed Liz, she was immediately on the case and had a plumber out the same morning. The shower issue sorted 👌. It's a lovely getaway from it all (literally, nearest shop 4 miles away) bolthole, so if you love country walks & very quiet, peaceful surroundings, Saddleback Penthouse is a perfect retreat. Although The Globe pub advertised on the website is now closed, there is now a fantastic restaurant/bar on the grounds of Calthwaite Hall (approx 1.5 mile walk from accommodation). The owner and staff are just lovely, and the food is all homemade & absolutely delicious, the Seafood grazing plate is a must 😋. Highly recommend dinning there.
The lack of local facilities isn't great, so make sure you take everything you need food wise, etc, with you. Also, take a hairdryer as one is not provided.

Superb
Excellent. The location, the quietness and the amenities in the accommodation.
Nothing really. Maybe improved directions to the location. It would have been nice to use the jacuzzi option in the bath which sadly was not available at the time of my visit.

Very comfortable property in a quiet country location.
Lots of free parking and the apartments are in a very quiet, out of the way farmland. The place is extremely comfortable and when we had an issue with the dryer not working it was replaced within 24 hours. (great response time). We should have stayed longer as this place has everything that you need. There is a wonderful tiny pub about 3 minutes drive away that does great food (The Globe Inn is open most evenings). The location suited us as we were doing some ancestry research in and around the area between Penrith and Carlisle.
The description of which apartment we had was very difficult to follow. Numbering or having a name on the apartment would have been better. There is no local convenience store or supermarket within a 20 minute drive so bring everything you need. The apartment is fitted out with lots of glitter and funky fittings, some of which don't work and a few are purely form over function such as the bathroom hand basin that is completely useless but looks great. Other than that we loved the place.

Perfect for a couple who like walking
Extremely well appointed. The whole place is well laid out and decorated but the bedroom, wardrobes and bathroom are amazing! This is very close to the Lakes but also plenty of other, much quieter places. Eden valley has some lovely walks, Hadrian's Wall is not too far, neither is the coast at Silloth not the Pennines! Also, highly recommend a meal at the Globe Inn.
Our sat nav took us to the wrong place. I would recommend using 'what three words'
