“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.

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.

And the host was wonderful

“The cottage was an excellent and comfortable barn conversion with lots of character.”

It was well-equipped and very clean. We had a friendly welcome and bread, milk and home-made cakes were provided. The village was very quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there.

“The best accommodation we've stayed in.”

...ever! Extremely clean, well equipped, comfortable, beautifully furnished accommodation. Felt like walking into an interiors magazine! This was balanced with helpful, friendly, relaxed hosts. All household supplies were provided, which was a nice surprise (loo rolls, washing up liquid, great dvd collection, good books: especially for children) and the welcome treats were an unexpected, very generous surprise. Feels like the owners (who used to farm here) have invested in good quality (think Lakeland, Jamie Oliver, Andrex!!) Well placed for local trips to Keswick and set in a small village, so felt tucked away but still within easy distance of the Lakes. We felt like we'd made a great discovery with this accommodation and certainly plan to return.

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful and spotless and we really enjoyed ourselves.”

The family were very welcoming and Lynn made cakes which were delicious and bought our essentials including wine which were very much appreciated. We gave booked to go back next year and just need the westher to be as good as it was this year. Massive thanks to Lynn and her family.

“The cottage was very clean and beautifully presented, including an unusually good selection of welcoming food and drink.”

The cottage was spacious. It was very good value for money.
Miss Goad April 2018

“Beautiful cottage with lots of little extras like cakes on arrival.”

Really lovely place and host but I have to say the one negative is the size of the double bed. It’s very small and me and my partner had to sleep separately. It would be fine for a small couple but I’m 5.8 and my partner is 6.3 and it was definately too small for us also the sofas are very small too. Apart from that it was lovely and very clean.

“Very warm and comfortable cottage with friendly owners ...”

Mrs Hinchliffe April 2017

“A beautiful cottage which is situated in delightful scenery, ideal for exploring the Northern Lakes.”

Very thoughtful extras supplied by the owner which made us feel very welcome
Mr Lebeter March 2017

“Absolutely outstanding.”

Very friendly and welcoming, magnificent property and location.

“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!

By arrangement with the owner, guests can enjoy a little pampering from the exclusive beauty salon on-site, and will even bake a delicious afternoon tea, individually prepared following your pampering. Flowing through the hamlet is the River Roe and there are lots of lovely paths and quiet country lanes to explore.
