"Great place for walking, biking, Birdwatching, etc."
The surrounding are beautiful panoramic views of the lakes hills. The accommodation is 5 star +++, nothing is needed, everything is in the accommodation. The owners are great and so helpful, so are the dogs! Nice walks from the door step, long or short!

"The cottage is very comfortable and superbly maintained."
It is well placed for getting about, very close to M6 and A6 and within driving distance of the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales. We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough. The owner is very helpful and extremely friendly. The only complaint is that the super-king bed is too comfortable and encouraged us to get up late instead of getting out and about.

It met with all our expectations we found it very comfortable and peaceful. Alexandra greeted us on arrival and showed us around and made us feel very welcome. The cottage is with in an hours drive from most places of interest. Would advise leaving early to visit places to secure parking. A great place to go and relax and have beautiful views with peace and quiet. Would recommend a stay here to friends and family.

"The cottage is really beautiful with delightful features from its original days such as the little slit windows."
It was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. Plenty of room for drying wet clothes (weather was a little damp at times!). There was everything we needed. The location is fantastic for walking. We spotted buzzards, kestrels, even a red squirrel

"This cottage could not be in a better spot."
Panoramic views all round the property of the stunning fells and valleys. Safe walking within 300 yards with the same views, Shop nearby as is all routes you need to get around any part of the Lakes but you are not in any heavy traffic. We recommend here and would stay here again without any hesitation. The cottage is great well fitted out with everything you need and more bug in a rug land for the holiday. The folks are helpful and nice, WE LOVED IT!

"What a gorgeous place to stay!"
Alex was very lovely and met us on arrival and showed us around The Cow House. The wood burner was perfect to come back to after a day out. We felt very at home and would recommend to others as it was a great place for a base to get to the Lakes and a few surprises of places of interest on your doorstep!

This charming cottage is spacious, well equipped and really clean , it seems remote ( just owners house and 1 other in sight) but its mre minutes from Shap and main routes, unfortunately the boiler broke down during our stay ( we were refunded) hence we couldn't give it top marks, but this was just bad luck and I'm sure the gremlins have been fixed

"We found the beauty and peace we were seeking at The Cow House."
The property is both airy and cosy, spacious and snug. It's also extremely comfortable and well equipped. This part of the Lake District is far from the madding crowd, yet close enough to amenities (excellent food at local community pub; fast electric charging points in Penrith, slower charge available a mile away in Shap). Many possible places to visit nearby, but so many high and beautiful walks on the doorstep that one need never leave the house. What a wonderful stay.

The hosts, Alex and David, were lovely - always on hand but never intrusive. The cottage is exactly as described, spacious yet cosy and dog friendly; all mod cons with a lovely comfy bed. Unfortunately the weather was wet and very windy for most of the week but it didn't stop us enjoying the break. I'm sure the views are usually fantastic! We'd love to return.

"When we arrived we was greeted by Alex who told us where the folder was with all the information that was needed for our stay and instructions with the use of the cooker and how to use the wood burner."
Their was info on surrounding areas and.local pubs and details in case of emergency. The accommodation was as it was described and how the pictures illustrated. It was very clean spacious and very tidy... The renovations was finished beautifully and the craftsmanship was fabulous especially the window shutters was very quaint. Their was a cooker and fridge in the kitchen area and in the utility room.their was a microwave, washing machine and a under the worktop freezer. The bathroom was big and had a lovely large shower and a good size bath. The king size bed was a lovely luxury and plenty of room for storing clothes. The views from.the windows in the bedroom, bathroom ,kitchen and lounge was lovely looking out over the mountains and seeing the baby lambs was lovely to watch. The cow shed was situated within 15 to 30 minutes of some of the lakes which was a good central point and within a.few.miles.of the M6 and no problem noticaeable with motorway noise. We hope to go back next year
