    The property is immaculately kept and exceptionally clean, beautifully presented and appointed. The stunning kitchen has plenty of utensils with a good selection of teas, coffees, and the bottle of wine, milk, scones jam and butter were very welcome.

    Despite us going in peak season, this part of the Lakes was lovely and quiet. We took some bikes, parked the car on arrival and didn't need to drive until we left 7 days later :-) The property had everything - excellent layout and design; fine, quiet location; a lovely, large lawned area with the iconic cedar tree; views; peaceful; wildlife; great swimming, walking, running and cycling (on and off road); lovely hosts; free to walk around their lakes and see their trees, plants, swans, ducks, moorhens, horses; nice touches with scones, milk and wine on arrival; all facilities were high quality, including induction hobs, oven, microwave, fine cookware, crockery and cutlery, S&P grinders, cafetiere, coffee pod machine, fridge, freezer, great showers and bath etc etc. An excellent pub was within a short walking distance. Hope to visit again !

Used the car only twice to visit Cockermouth and Ennerdale Water. Kirkstile Inn didn’t disappoint either. We will certainly return, thank you Ross and Sue great hosts.

    It may seem picky but a better nights sleep would be aided if the dripping tap in the kitchen and the rattly air vent in the bathroom could be fixed. These are minor things and did not detract from our stay.

  • "Lovely cottage,nice quality furniture and appliances."

    Wine and scones a lovely surprise. Scenery outstanding,surrounding area adjacent to farm great and very peaceful.My wife loved the horses! A few suggested maintenance issues to sort, that the owner may not be aware of. The bathroom extractor fan is very noisy and runs for ages! Suggest a note by the bath to explain that you cannot have a hot bath with the hot tap on full.You need to reduce the flow otherwise the water is ‘luke warm’ The temperature in the bedroom was very hot when we arrived and difficult to modulate.Both upstairs and downstairs underfloor heating is on 24/7.This is waste of energy and adds unnecessary expense for the owner. Overall a brilliant place for a relaxing holiday.

  • "Lovely stay."

    Great location. The boiler was leaking and no hot water for two nights but the owners arranged a plumber and made a gesture of compensation at the end of our stay, which was appreciated. Good quality fixtures and fittings, really well equipped. Think there could be a little more attention to detail. Chipped plates, dripping kitchen tap, a tile piece loose around the base of the shower tray but the welcome of wine and scones, was a nice touch. Even had a knock on the door and the offer of some candles, during a power cut. I would highly recommend a stay. Thank you Sue and Ross.

    The owners were very welcoming and friendly but also respected our privacy. The weather for us was pretty grim, but the cottage is spacious and very comfortable, with everything you could possibly need, so we would have been perfectly happy staying indoors if we'd wanted to. However, the location is equally magnificent, with plenty of walking from the door and stunning scenery, not to mention a few very good pubs in close proximity. We would highly recommend a stay here.
