SOCKBRIDGE, NR ULLSWATER SELF CATERING COTTAGE HOLIDAYS

Our charming Sockbridge self catering cottages occupy a pleasant location which is both convenient for amenities in nearby Penrith, and close to the famous Lakeland landscape, with Ullswater a matter of minutes away. Sockbridge itself is a small, attractive village, and Sockbridge self catering cottages are perfect for those who like to ride, with Sockbridge Trekking Centre a very popular location for fans of pony trekking. Penrith is an attractive market town and our holiday cottages are near enough that a short trip in the car to the shops and supermarkets will make it easier to stock up on provisions and enjoy your vacation to the full.

Sockbridge itself is set in green and fertile farmland, with gently rolling hills amid a patchwork of fields. To the West, the famous mountains of the Lake District come into view, with Ullswater and its steamers not far away. Pooley Bridge, a popular location for visitors is a few minutes away, with pubs, cafes, restaurants and gift shops to enjoy. From a Sockbridge self catering cottage, the whole of the Lake District is at your disposal. A popular route for many is to drive down the 7.5 mile length of Ullswater, enjoying the stunning views, before taking the Honister Pass that leads over the fells to Windermere - a truly spectacular drive. And with walks, cafes and visitor attractions along the route, this is just one of many fine days out that can be had from a Sockbridge self catering holiday cottage.
