About this property
Wonderful 7 Bedroom Detached House and large gardens in Cumbria's Garden of Eden
Featured in House and Garden January 2025! See the front page and full article.....Sleeping up to 13 guests, Sampson's is a beautiful 7 bedroom house set on a private Cumbrian Estate on the edge of the River Eden in this glorious unspoiled valley. With a huge open plan kitchen and family sized AGA, this much loved home is the perfect base from which to enjoy the very best of Cumbria and it's local produce.
Featured in the national media and reached by a private lane, the only sound is the splash of trout in the river. Ideal for family and friends, children can explore freely whilst you relax on the squashy sofas in the spacious living room by the huge open fire. There are much loved antiques, books galore and pale wooden floors with brightly covered kilims. Seagrass carpets lead up to the bedrooms which are all individual, full of light and have views across the surrounding fells. No fighting for the views as all the rooms have them! The gardens have extensive lawned areas for kicking a ball around. Private Fishing can be booked in advance at a daily rate. We can organise cooking either in-house or to be delivered. Let us spoil you.

About the host
Hosted by Tamar Ferguson
Sampson’s Cave has been in our family for over 100 years. Now that the children have flown the nest, we are happy to share our home to guests who will treasure it just as much as do.
Why they chose this property
Sampson's Cave nestles on the private Lazonby Estate on the edge of the River Eden in this unspoiled area of Cumbria. A haven for lovers of nature and seclusion where the only neighbours are Highland Cattle and the occasional red squirrel. Lazonby is on the famous Settle - Carlisle line and so keep you eyes open for a steam train. The delightful market town of Penrith is close by with it's independent shops. Ullswater is only a 15 minute drive - catch the steamer across the Lake. Many historic houses in the region - Dalemain with it's famous Marmalade Festival; Lowther with its restored Castle and 140 acres of parkland; Hutton in the Forest with the Pots in the Park Festival. Hadrians Wall and Lancercost Priorty are only a short drive away. Visit Farmers Markets throughout the year and enjoy the wealth of art in the region.
What makes this property unique
We can promise that you will fall in love with Sampson's and any stress will evaporate as soon as you enter the house. Pure bliss.
