Blencowe, Penrith CA11 0DF

An idyllic riverside retreat set in private woodland of the Blencowe Hall estate.

Bluebells, red squirrels, songbirds. The turning of the seasons as colours shift in dappled light. At night the moon rises through laced branches of blackthorn and oak and the owls hoot.

It’s so magical we want to offer you a way to linger here. Head on foot through the fields and find your glamping haven in a secluded spot along the River Petteril.

Rates range from £56 per person per night based on full occupancy for a 3 night mid-week stay in the 2026 early spring season or £339 total for a midweek short break.

Breakfast by the river and star gaze at night

Wander down to the riverside and relax in the Adirondack chairs reading a book, chill at the garden table, fire up the Weber charcoal barbeque or light the fire pit in the evening time.

It’s glamping with luxury – resting on crisp Egyptian cotton linen sheets, cooking on a double burner gas hob with a separate small size LPG oven, chilling the drinks in the fridge and enjoying a hot shower whilst your towels warm on the chrome towel rail and even having a regular flush loo.

My boyfriend and me booked this weekend away for our anniversary and it was very beautiful and peaceful.
The perfect trip away to rest and reset away from phones and any other distractions.
