“A comfortable, warm, spotless and well appointed farm building conversion with an open plan kitchen/living/dining area.”

Bedrooms are smallish but adequate and beds are comfortable. The location is rural and peaceful with ample off-road parking a short walk behind the cottage. The owners are friendly and helpful and provided an extensive welcome pack with home-made cakes, bread, wine, milk, etc. The broadband is fast and reliable, but note that there is no usable signal for EE mobiles even outdoors.

Bedrooms are smallish but adequate and beds are comfortable. The location is rural and peaceful with ample off-road parking a short walk behind the cottage. The owners are friendly and helpful and provided an extensive welcome pack with home-made cakes, bread, wine, milk, etc. The broadband is fast and reliable, but note that there is no usable signal for EE mobiles even outdoors. We arrived with more food than we would normally bring, due to the potential for further lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic, so the small freezer compartment in the fridge was a challenge, but we managed. We had a restful week with mostly good weather and will happily stay there again.

“No . We had amazing few night here just what we needed .”

- Mrs Palmer, September 2020
“This was a most delightful cottage in very peaceful surroundings.”

Our arrival was met with the most wonderful welcome pack of homemade goodies and a fridge with essentials. All unexpected. Everything you need is available in absolutely spotless surroundings especially grateful in these times. Although mostly a wet 4 days did not deter our enjoyment.

- Mrs Byrne, August 2020
“The owners of the property went above and beyond, they left us a welcome gift basket and had thought of everything we might need during the stay.”

The property was spotless and comfortable in a great location to explore the lakedistrict.

- Mrs Smith, July 2020
“Lovely peaceful location.”

Great cottage with everything that you could need.

- Ms Reynolds, July 2020
“The cottage was lovely, clean spacious and the hosts were very hospitable and friendly, couldn’t do enough for you and the welcome pack was first class and very helpful and tasty.”

Overall we would definitely recommend this cottage for a quiet relaxing break away from the bizz of city life. It’s definitely worth a visit. BB.

The host was very nice, she made us some scones, cake and brownies and left fresh jam and cream in the fridge for us before arrived, she was very pleasant when we spoke to her, the cottage was gorgeous and very cosy Would definitely recommend staying there as we may revisit in future

“Good communication with the owner, Sykes is hard to contact by telephone or email.”

No response from your organisation, lucky I could book it over Booking.com

- Mr Brink, November 2019
“Cottage was very clean and well equipped, it's mentioned a lot in feedback but the welcome basket was a lovely touch.”

Excellent scenery and walk ways. Lots of activities and entertainment all within a 30 minute drive. Would recommend this cottage highly.

- Miss Gustard, June 2019
“Really enjoyed our weekend at the meal house.”

The cottage was comfy and clean with everything that you need. The cakes and necessities on arrival were thoughtful. Mrs Pears was very helpful with finding places to visit and eat. We would definitely stay here again and can't recommend the place enough.

- Mr Wainwright, May 2019
“We had amazing time in The Meal House.”

Property is lovely, clean and well equipped. Welcome pack was much appreciated. Fantastic location for exploring the lake district. The village is very quiet and peaceful, just perfect for cycling. Will definitely recommend to friends ☺

- Mrs Borowska, May 2019
“What a super cottage in a quiet location.”

The welcome basket was overflowing! This barn conversion was situated in a convenient spot to allow us to investigate the quieter corners of the Northern Lakes with plenty of walking and cycling on the doorstep.

- Mrs Denney, April 2019
“A sympathetically restored, small but perfectly formed cottage on the road side at the entrance to the farm.”

Nicely furnished and very cosy. Beds were comfie and slept well. There is some road noise, but as it is a very small village so it is minimal. Main annoyance was the fridge could not be opened without moving the settee, and there was no storage for luggage. Apart from these wee things it was a lovely stay and the hosts greeted us with a nice welcome and some treats, which were exceedingly appreciated. The cottage is a great place to explore Carlisle, The Lakes, and Scotland. If you are looking for a spacious cottage to lounge around in, this is not the place. If you are looking for a lovely cosy homely base to explore the local area and take advantage of the walks on your doorsteps, then you could not ask for more.

- Mrs Haynes, December 2018
“The accomodation was fantastic and the welcome pack was very much appreciated”

- Mr Rowles, October 2018
“A little gem”

The cottage has been wonderfully restored in a modern style but retaining many original features. It's warm cosy and inviting and provides a great centre to explore both the Lakes and The Borders. The cottage has all the necessary facilities and a great Wifi signal. Lynn and Mark who own the cottage make your stay both enjoyable and very memorable.

“Beautiful beautiful stay.”

As you walk in you will realise the true beauty of this house. The gorgeous high ceilings and beams. And the tastefully selected and cosy interior design. Its always a worry booking to stay somewhere you've never visited before however i truly couldn't recommend this place high enough. The owner was extremely welcoming and kind. (Even baked us a few delicious treats) and a hamper full of goodies. It was spotless inside and had everything one would need. We wished we'd booked longer but we will definitely be returning asap!
