The proximity of Rose Cottage to the M6 and Penrith means that although you feel hidden in a little pocket of rural England, you’re only a stones throw away from all the shopping facilities you’re likely to need during your stay in Tirril.
If you head towards the lake (Ullswater) there’s a decent selection of basics available in the Shop & Post Office in Pooley Bridge.
The Park Foot Campsite shop further along the lake shores towards Howtown has a larger selection again (we use this a lot in the summer, particularly for BBQ supplies).
Rheged has a really good deli on the ground floor, as well as serving a really good range of nice pastries and hot snack food from their filling station.
Penrith really has had a facelift in recent years and there’s some great deli options in the town centre.
There are also a number of large supermarkets in Penrith. We regularly use Sainsbury’s delivery service by booking online in advance to stock up, and Morrisons has a great selection too.
Dana Curry is a great Indian Takeaway in Penrith that deliver to Rose Cottage, visit their website for the menu and further details. We usually phone to order to explain that Rose Cottage is two doors away from the pub in Tirril.
