  • "A lovely comfortable cottage set in the quiet village of Gosforth , ideally situated for a walking holiday ."

    The cottage had every amenity you could need and had been thoughtfully put together , a lovely small back garden with seating areas , ample parking space at the side of the cottage . Close to Wastwater and Scafell or if you like the coast Drigg and Seascale are close by . The village itself has a country store 3 pubs an Italian restaurant craft bakery and a cafe , Can thoroughly recommend the Gosforth Hall Inn and Wild Olive restaurant for eating out . Nice bottle of wine , cakes and some treats for Mr Pringles our dog left as a welcome gift . We enjoyed our stay so much we booked again whilst still there .

  • "The property it's self was excellent apart from the stairs which were much to steep for me,I am 80 years old and people should be warned about this."

    Also the place is very remote,anywhere you wish to go you are driving on very narrow winding roads which are not in the best condition.

  • "Wonderful short break at a lovely homely cottage."

    As dog owners we were so impressed with all the little touches to make our doggy’s stay most comfortable, the lovely home baked human treats were also very well received along with the other groceries that were left for us-very kind and thoughtful. Loved the area as you have the best of both worlds, with the country and the coast and don’t have to travel far for some lovely walks. The village has everything you need and the locals were friendly and welcoming, the Kellbank fit us in for food at short notice (with dogs) and we had a lovely meal. The village bakery was closed as was the Wild Olive for New Year but both looked very good and worth a visit. The cottage has everything you need for a very comfortable stay, the drying room came in very handy with the wet weather. Like other guests I cannot finish without mentioning the beds, so comfortable for a great nights sleep. Thank you.

    Fully equipped kitchen our girls loved baking some cookies whilst on our stay. Would recommend a knife sharpener as found knives not as sharp as I like to carve a roast( personal preference).

  • "On arrival we were met with a bottle of wine, crisps, chocolate biscuits and dog treats, the welcoming extra touches that show thought and care."

    The wood burning fire had a basket of cut wood ready. The cottage was immaculately presented and ready for a holiday on opening the door. The building itself is perfect for a couple or small family. We, 3 adults and a large, well-behaved dog felt very comfortable throughout our stay. The living room and dining area downstairs was large and well lit with comfy sofas and a nice size TV. Bedrooms were good sized with plenty of clothes storage and nice comfy beds. The kitchen had all that you’d expect with all facilities easy to use. There were none of the frequent, restrictive not-so-dog-friendly rules about which parts of the property dogs are not welcome. All in all we had a lovely stay and can only praise the owners for a very welcoming and relaxing visit. Highly recommended.

    Straight away the cottage was incredibly cosy which was lovely arriving a dark, rainy night - and so warm! Really gorgeous welcome package both for us and our Labrador which was so appreciated. The cakes were lovely and we went to the bakery for more!! As a dog owner everything was thought about - dog bowls, spare dog towels, welcome biscuits - it made such a refreshing change, and no extra charge, yay! Milk in the fridge on arrival (thankyou!) and other essentials in the kitchen. The location is wonderful, Wastwater is our favourite lake so it was perfect for visiting and for Eskdale. The village was fab with food from the bakery (great pies and eclairs!) and Wild Olive Pizzas for a takeaway on a rainy night. Great local shop also. Cannot recommend enough, also the beds are AMAZING! So comfy. A big drying room which came in so useful for all dirty/wet clothes that the Lakes inevitably delivered. For once as well it was the best stocked kitchen we have ever stayed in, everything was considered which was wonderful to actually be able to cook how you would at home. All round a perfect house for a perfect trip, thankyou so much :) If in doubt don't hesitate to book this gorgeous house :)

    I would advise anyone staying especially in busy times to book a table to eat at least 2 days in advance as we struggled a couple of times to get anywhere (especially at the Wild Olive and Gosforth Hall). Also not everywhere is open on a Monday night. The cafe is excellent and worth a trip even if it's just for a cuppa and tea cake. When we arrived slightly earlier than expected I messaged the owners to see if we could leave the car at the cottage and was told the cottage was all ready for us so we got in early which was a great bonus.
