Sampson’s Cave - Self-catering house in Cumbria
Lazonby, Penrith, CA10 1BA, Cumbria
England,
Royaume-Uni
A tranquil setting down a gravelled track and completely private; the only sound is the wind off the fells, many sheep and pheasants, the occasional train, sometimes a steam train. This is a large, light-filled house with lovely interiors - perfect for large families or groups. The owner has a canny eye for lovely things so there is a glorious mix of textures, fabrics and styles and a lot of family memorabilia.
Children will charge up and down two staircases or out into the garden. They also get a separate playroom with toys, games, TV and a dressing up box. A Rayburn keeps everything cosy and warm in the sociable L-shaped kitchen and living room and there are plenty of squashy sofas and seats for everybody, a big open wood fire and a wall of books and records. Bedrooms have good views and lovely linen.
You can walk down to the railway line behind and wave at the trains, or have a picnic by the wide, fast-flowing river.

Tamar Ferguson:
- Sampson's is situated on a private working Estate - there are woodland walks with the River Eden on the doorstep. A haven for lovers of nature - spot a red squirrel in the nearby trees. We have Highland Cattle and Cumbrian sheep.
- There are 3 historic houses in the vicinity. Hutton in the Forest has events through the summer and is perfect for gardeners with woodland walks and plant fairs.
- Dalemain is on the edge of Ullswater and is famous for the "World's Original Marmalade Festival". A great tea room with homemade cakes. Lowther Estate has opened it's castle with historic gardens and 140 acres of parkland.
- There are farmers markets throughout the year at Pooley Bridge and Orton. The local town of Penrith is a lovely, thriving market town with lots of independent shops alongside major supermarkets. Excellent butchers, fishmongers and delis in the town.
- There is a wealth of art in the Eden Valley - each September Cumbria Art Festival takes place across the region. Over 150 artists, designers and sculptors open their doors to the public in studios situated in some of the UK's most picturesque villages.
- The Northern Lakes are only a hop and a skip away and are much quieter than the lakes in the south. Ullswater, Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite are all only a short drive away.
