I am an artist, and have got into the habit of taking a "retreat" every couple of years to recharge my creative batteries. I choose a small cottage in a quiet place, in an area I don't know. So, this cottage was chosen very largely on the basis of location. With art equipment and books (and good food and drink) I tucked myself away here for a week. The effect of the peace and quiet, combined with the dramatic visual impact of a snowy February on the hills, was remarkably restoring. I was very comfortable indeed in the cottage, and Appleby served all my needs very conveniently. I particularly enjoyed my visit to the local gallery/coffee shop. The baker sells stuff that's really yummy. I'd love to go back again -- perhaps next time with my wife, who's very jealous of my good fortune! The paintings? Two months later I'm still living off the inspiration.
Penrith 14 miles.
The historic town of Appleby, set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley, is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. The picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings, is at the heart of the town and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-to-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and still today many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. Visit Appleby in June and experience the atmosphere of the three hundred-year old Horse Fair. With the delightful Pooley Bridge and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.

Previous visitors' comments about Oak Cottage:
Welcomed to the property with milk, sugar, tea, coffee and cake! VERY well equipped. Excellent layout and decor.
The best cottage we have stayed in.
Mr & Mrs Rumbold, Ipswich, July 2010
The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Everything within the cottage was incredibly clean upon our arrival and anything we could have possibly needed for the kitchen was provided. It was lovely to find tea, coffee and cake waiting for us in the kitchen upon arrival. The use of a garden was also greatly appreciated and there was plenty of garden furniture available to use along with a barbeque. It was also great to find CDs and board games for us to use in the living room.
Ms Passey, Cleckheaton, July 2010
Standard very high. Warm and welcoming, cleanliness exceptional. A credit to the owners. Close to lovely walks and village shops and pubs. Deserves 5*.
Mrs Lawson, Shrewsbury, June 2010
The place was just what I wanted, where I wanted it, and when I wanted it. Quiet location, but conveniently close to services.
