Peel Place Noddle, Eskdale Green

Very quiet location with beautiful views. Small shop nearby and a lovely pub just around the corner. The house had everything we needed. The beds were really comfortable. We only used the hot tub once but it was a great addition. The owner(Miles) rang me the night before and the morning we traveled to let us know how the roads into the village were as they had been flooded due to the amount of rain over the previous days. A definite place to go to get away from it all with great walks nearby.

This is a great retreat for a large family or a group of friends looking to make their own entertainment and enjoy the natural beauty of Cumbria. This isn't a top quality rental, so if that's your expectation look elsewhere, however - if you are looking for a homely, comfortable, affordable holiday home which is in a beautiful location with lots of space and the bonus of an open-air hut tub and a real fire in the lounge then this could be ideal. Peel Place Noddle was once a family home and much of it remains unchanged from these days. That has a sweetness, and if you can embrace this perspective and not be too critical you will enjoy every moment at 'the Noddle'. There is a beautiful, spacious, safe and enclosed garden area which includes parking for 3/4 cars. Beware that vans may struggle due to narrow pillars on the entrance to the track. The wood-burner is located in a small 'snug' with a 2-seater sofa. The main lounge area has an open fire which needs lots of fuel to warm up the room in the winter due to the large size of the open-plan lounge and dining area. The hot-tub is located on a wooden decking, just off the main lounge/diner, which is ideal for popping in and out without getting too cold. The kitchen is large with a hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. If you enjoy cooking you may wish to pack your own knives to avoid disappointment. One family bathroom plus a downstairs toilet and a single en-suite room may be a struggle if you are not close family and friends and you manage to fill the place. There is free wifi, a TV and access to a CD player. A mini-railway runs along the bottom of the garden in the main season and there is a pub and a shop within a 10 minute walk (in opposite directions). It's a dog friendly rental and could be suitable for children depending on their ages. There are some lovely walks from the doorstep. The 'drying room' is a good feature to make sure your boots and jackets are ready for the next day regardless of the conditions. I'd be happy to consider a return trip if we were staying in the area.

Just back from our second stay in this home from home but in the most beautiful valley. The house boasts a gorgeous garden, hot tub and the Ratty (narrow gauge steam train) runs past, what's not to love!!! We are three generations, three dogs group that love walking the fells then hitting the pub for a bite to eat and a couple of drinks, you are spoilt for choice. If shopping yours thing Eskdale isn't for you but if you love beautiful scenery, wildlife, walking, then this is the place.

A relaxed, spacious and comfortable place - there is an informal, family feel which really suited us. The garden was great for children to run around, and the miniature trains running past were an exciting extra feature.

Peel Place Noddle was huge and comfortable. The property is in a beautiful location and has a pretty garden. It was perfect for a family of mixed generations.

Just got back from a wonderful week in Eskdale Green, the house is great for a large group, there were 9 adults and 1 child in our party, the house is good value for money and now also boasts a hot tub. We found the owner extremely helpful and easy to contact. A great base for exploring the local area and surrounding areas, with a short drive to Wasdale Head for a hike up Scafell Pike. Would also recommend the local pub King George IV for great bar meals and ales.

A very relaxing feel to this property and in a great location to explore the western side of the Lakes. With 8 adults and 2 small children there was plenty of space for all.

We loved the homely feel and the brightness and airiness about the house. Due to the layout of the house, every window faced out towards the mountains and the sun poured in nearly all day. The house itself was very well equipped with more than enough blankets, cutlery, crockery, towels etc.

Lovely house which was within a lovely location, perfect for touring.

Fantastic accommodation and wonderful scenery.

The location is spectacular. All of the visitors said that the property was homely, comfortable, worked well for our requirements and was clean. We voted to return if we are able. The fires and provision of adequate fuel was much appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you for the welcome pack.

Beautiful rugged location - phenomenal house. Owner couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating.
