Herdwick Cottage

• "The cottage was clean, well maintained and well equipped with everything we needed and more."

  The beds were comfortable and the cottage was warm and homely. Our only negative was the church bells that go through the night. Not great if you are a light sleeper.

  The cottage is clean, warm, well equipped and brilliantly located for walking in a village with all the facilities you could want.

• "The property was very clean and very well equipped."

  The lovely welcome hamper and Christmas decorations added to our family Christmas get together. A little confused by where "at the back" is for second vehicle parking. The parking space marked out for the cottage was fine but our second vehicle went to a free car park not too far away. Took us a while to fathom the heating, which was easy to use in the end. The child lock on the hob also provided an initial challenge but having the instructions was a great help. Wonderful shower and lovely large towels! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, inspite of very poor weather.

• "Herdwick Cottage is amongst the best places we have ever stayed in."

  The colours of the decor are excellent with friendly sheep watching you in every room. The quality of the kitchen and everything in it were the best we have ever experienced. There was just one thing you should be aware of before you book. If you are a light sleeper then this cottage might not be for you. The nearby church clock chimes on every quarter hour with each hour throughout the night marked with the corresponding amount of loud bongs. One of us got used to it by half way through the week, the other never did despite using earplugs. As much as we loved the cottage and the town and surrounding area we unfortunately won’t be able to return.

• "Brilliant cottage with everything provided and then some."

  Beds and couches were very comfortable. The town is a good base for lots of attractions with a lovely independent food centre five minutes walk away. Hadrians Wall, Roman Army Museum and Vindolanda are nearby and well worth visiting. Parking at The Sill Centre and walking along the wall to Sycamore Gap is really unforgettable whatever the weather. Kids and adults enjoyed the Lakeland Pencil Museum. Good food and huge ice creams at Hayton Farm just along on A69. (The single bedroom was uncomfortably hot as the skylight would not open, so needs looking at)

  Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Lots of extras such as guidebooks and maps. Well stocked with kitchen implements. Quick bus ride to Carlisle.

• "Recently returned from a lovely stay at Herdwick cottage."

  Everything in the cottage is of a very high quality, there is everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday. The owner really has thought of everything. Thank you Sally. Brampton is a lovely town, the centre being a short walk from the cottage. It is in such a good position to visit so many places of interest whether you are a keen walker or like us by car

• "Fantastic cottage."

  ..newly refurbished to an outstanding standard. Everything you want or need for a holiday. The situation in Brampton is excellent just outside the main street in a lovely quiet mews. The owner certainly knows what people need for a walking holiday in Cumbria. We are in our late seventies now so our walks are less strenuous and there are plenty of these in the countryside around Brampton. Thank you so much.

• "Amazing cottage."

  Fully stocked - from the kitchen to the bedrooms. The decor is fantastic. The beds are very comfortable as is the property. Very safe and secluded. Would have like a hoover to give the carpet a once over in the evening. That said the place was spotless when we arrived. There was a welcome gift left by sally, which was greatly appreciated. Thank you Sally. Continue as you are. It really is perfect.
