The cottage is situated with outstanding views of the mountain’s & countryside & is very peaceful. The cottage was clean throughout & dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid were provided.Some of the property seemed a little tired egs: doors & door locks . The front door lock was a challenge to open as it does need replacing & some of the internal doors don’t close properly.Having said that a new kitchen looks like it was recently installed and had a good choice of cutlery, plates etc.The mattress could be replaced as there is a distinct roll together.The property is detached & shares an entrance with another property. However the property is very private.Overall we enjoyed our stay & with a few tweaks could be amazing.

Very clean inside and welcoming cottage. Lovely mountain few from the main cottage window and beautiful surrounding area.A possible suggestion though is to have a car port outside the cottage as our car got covered in bird poo during our 3 night stay due to where the parking facility is for the cottage.About 15 minutes drive away from Keswick which is very handy too. Would highly recommend The Kingfisher in Keswick if you like fish and chips! Delicious and very reasonably priced!

Lovely cottage, idea base for walking in the Lakes. We stayed in February, with snow on the ground. The view of Blencathra is stunning and the heating in the cottage made us feel very cosy.

Lovely little cottage for our 4 nights stay, good heating and kitchen was well equipped (not that we did much cooking) and a good little selection of games and puzzles. Perfect spot, felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but only 20 mins from Keswick. Best thing was the view!

Fabulous views!!

Lovely cottage! Had most all amenities one could want. Absolutely breathtaking views! I know it's a pet property but only complaint would be the very wet dog smell. We don't have a dog. I think updated rugs in the cottage might make a huge difference. Was fortunate to see a red squirrel. Would not hesitate to come back.

Cute Cottage

Lovely little cosy cottage, nice and quiet. Surrounded by trees and lovely views. Clean and tidy. A very small detail, but we could have done with a few more glassware. Only one small glass for drinking spirits or water.

Fabulous location

The cottage was just perfect for me and my dog as a base in the eastern Lakes. The views of Blencathra from the sitting room & garden were magnificent. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and we thorough enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

A peaceful Haven

We loved this property. It was perfect for us plus our small dog. The outside space was lovely with it's enclosed garden and small wood beside. Views over to Blencathra were stunning and offered us an ideal spot to just chill out especially after some walking in the hills.Difficult to tear yourself away but will definitely return.
