Caldhu Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we were able to have family down from Scotland to enjoy the house.

Being able to walk from the house into the countryside was a bonus and also being on the quiet side of the Lakes was great. Would definitely go back in another season.

It is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

We had a wonderful break - thank you.

My family, including my mum and dad, thoroughly enjoyed staying at the cottage over Christmas.

It’s perfectly positioned to ensure calmness and privacy but then is also in close proximity to the beach, the fells, Muncaster castle, the Ratty and Irton Hall. This side of the Lakes is most definitely the hidden gem. The cottage itself was warm and cosy with a well equipped kitchen and a beautiful sun room where you can sit and drink your coffee in the morning watching the sun rise. The grounds wrap around the house and are perfect for the slower adventurer. For those wanting a longer trek, a quick stroll out of the front door and over the bridge, takes you further a field onto the well signed bridle paths. Our dog, Piper, loved all of her dogs. Throughout our booking, we had brilliant communication, not only with the agent but also the owner. They even kindly decorated the cottage for us with Christmas decorations. A very lovely touch! I would recommend the cottage to anyone wanting to stay in this part of the Lake District. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Zoe

What a lovely cottage.

A well equipped kitchen, gorgeous sun room, very comfortable beds, large bathroom and a handy room to store coats and boots downstairs. The garden, wow. It was perfect, with the wild areas to explore and views across the fields. It was so peaceful. Our only regret was it was just a bit out of season to sit outside for too long to appreciate it. We explored the vast beaches at Drigg, Seascale and St Bees. Spent some time at Wastwater, but mostly relaxed. This was our first visit to the western lakes and coast, always opting for the east, we are so pleased we did this and we will definitely return to Caldhu Cottage. Communication throughout from the owners was really good, they obviously care about their customers. We loved it. Thank you.

Caldhu Cottage was a wonderful base for our fabulous fortnight break to The Lakes.

The location was so private, and the garden like a mini nature reserve - areas of lawn, meadow, ponds and woodland adjoining the crystal clear river Irt (perfect for a cooling paddle). We loved watching all the insects buzzing and flitting around the meadow, while enjoying a morning coffee - even had a visit from a Golden-ringed Dragonfly. The garden is not fully secure for an excitable young Border Collie, so we did keep him on a long-lead, but no way spoiled our enjoyment. Not only were the western fells and lakes on the doorstep, but also the beautiful Drigg beach just down the road. The tides were kind to us for a few days of cool morning, and evening, dog walks on the vast expanse of exposed sand.

Absolutely delightful cottage , surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Very clean and well equipped inside , just a gorgeous place to holiday.

Absolutely wonderful stay.

From the moment we arrived we felt at home. Great facilities, super comfy beds, we had everything we needed for our holiday. The cottage was such a relaxing space after a long day out and about. The gardens were just great with all of the chairs and tables we needed to enjoy the fantastic weather. Thank you Graham and Nicky for letting us share your beautiful cottage. We look forward to our next stay.

Fantastic property in a lovely unspoilt area of the Lake District.

Perfect base for walking and exploring. Cottage is beautiful and was perfect for our needs Thanks for letting us stay!

What a lovely, private cottage with all the amenities we needed for our week's stay.

Great location with easy access to both the beach and the fells. Good parking, comfortable seating in the lounge and nice options for food nearby too. We would definitely stay at Caldhu Cottage again.

Lovely cottage in a secluded spot

Caldhu cottage What a beautiful cottage in a peaceful location.

We really enjoyed our stay for new year. The property has been thoughtfully and lovingly restored to high standards, the beds are comfortable and goodnight sleeps where had by all . Everything you need is in the cottage. The wrap around garden and woodland are fantastic and our labrador Teddy loved it , surrounded by wildlife its a paradise, I love birdwatching and here was great for it , I brought food to put out and wasn't disappointed , managed to get some good photos,seeing the bullfinch in the trees near the conservatory every morning was great. You can definitely spend all your time here but we did venture to Drigg beach it was stunning, also Seascale and St Bees which are beautiful beaches. There is a Co-op in Seascale but the bigger stores are in Whitehaven which is only about 20 minutes away. Caldhu cottage is an absolute gem we would love to keep a secret but we will be telling everyone. Will definitely return.

Excellent location, beautiful property with excellent facilities, I had communication with the owner of the property a lovely gentleman and would highly recommend property for a holiday, exceptional places to visit within a short drive.

We will definitely be returning.

Caldhu Cottage is a lovely property which I can highly recommend to anyone wishing to explore the quieter parts of the Lake District.

Its location is superb with the natural beauty of Wast Water and Eskdale only a few miles away. We were very lucky to have mainly dry and sunny weather which made walking and driving around so much more enjoyable. If you decide to stay here please feed the birds. There are a couple of feeders, one for sunflower seeds etc and the other for suets blocks. The little ones will reward you with lots of entertainment throughout the day.

Fabulous cottage and very peaceful.

Cottage has been renovated to a high standard. Garden is amazing and our dogs loved being able to go and explore. Lovely walks from the cottage and places to visit quite close by. Kitchen is well equipped with the majority of items you may need (please can you include a pizza cutter?) Dining room was perfect for breakfast and an evening meal (we were out most of the day which meant we had lunch elsewhere). We had a delivery for the week from Tesco and the driver advised it was very easy for him to find. Sunroom was lovely and warm - only concern, as we were visiting with a 12 month old, is that it isn’t safety glass in the door between the sunroom and dining room. Drying room and downstairs toilet always lovely and warm. Lounge area was comfortable (could possibly do with another chair for if there were 6 people staying). Great to have board games available. Internet was intermittent which meant you couldn’t always watch a film all the way through without buffering. Didn’t stop us watching what we wanted though. Dog gate at the bottom of the stairs was fantastic not just to stop the dogs but also the baby climbing the stairs. Bathroom was lovely and great for family use. Bedrooms - all lovely and clean. Could do with some mirrors in the bedrooms for drying hair etc. we didn’t use the twin bedded room but it looked lovely and comfortable. It was a little on the cool side in the bedrooms as the radiator thermostats were difficult to move. Loved the night lighting and will be investing in one for my landing at home. Owners were quick at answering questions and were lovely in corresponding with us. Would recommend for a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and will definitely visit again.

An amazing cottage in wonderful, quiet countryside.

The property itself has been sympathetically renovated and provides a comfortable stay. Although it seems to be isolated it is close to a beach and a wonderful castle and tourist railway. A good base for a holiday in the Western Lakes. We highly recommend it.

Lovely secluded cottage, definitely going back.

What a wonderful time we had at Beautiful Caldhu cottage.

The cottage itself is a lovely space , kitchen great to cook in with all the equipment we needed. The garden is a complete joy, full of wildlife and lovely to watch in the changeable weather the Lakes had to offer!! Bees, birds, bat's, butterflies and a meteor shower...fabulous!

A lovely cottage with excellent facilities set within glorious grounds.

You have the best of both worlds here with the beach only a couple of miles away and the Lakeland mountains on your doorstep

Beautiful well kept cottage with stunning garden.

Really peaceful in the valley and well situated for visiting places and exploring the countryside. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful spacious cottage in lovely grounds in a great location.

Very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Relaxing and peaceful. Loved the log burner very cosy. Spar and pub nearby.

We can't recommend Caldhu Cottage enough.

We had a lovely week despite freezing temperatures in this beautiful cottage. It ticked all the boxes for us. It is exquisitely furnished yet feels comfortable and homely. It was clean with well equipped kitchen and really lovely bathroom. There was plenty of tea, coffee etc in the welcome pack. Communication from the owners was excellent and we felt the owners really want you to have a lovely stay. We envy anyone booking for Soring and Summer because the garden is fabulous. We saw a deer at the end of the garden and being able to see the neighbouring sheep was a real bonus. Can't fault anything at all.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Caldhu Cottage.

We were very impressed with how the owners Graham and Nicky had spent considerable time and effort in providing a beautiful and well equipped clean, relaxing holiday home with large well maintained garden. The beds were super comfy and there were lots of lovely walks for us to enjoy with our dog. We would highly recommend this cottage and we will be returning.

Probably the best well equipped cottage we've ever stayed in.

The location was so peaceful and private. Plenty of exercise for our dog just walking around the extensive garden and although just the two of us staying there was more than enough space for a family with three good sized bedrooms. Ideally located for the western lakes and beaches. For us personally, the only minor point was we found the lounge sofas very uncomfortable but everything else was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

We all absolutely loved Caldhu Cottage.

It is so perfect in every way, super comfortable beds, beautiful location and stunning gardens along with everything you could need provided in the property. The Western lakes area is wonderfully quiet and there are so many lovely locations to explore we will definitely return. Thank you for a perfect stay.

The cottage was lovely and a comfortable place to stay and the gardens were very nice

Lovely property in a fantastic location.

Easy access to beaches, towns, and lakes. What more could you ask for?

Gorgeous cottage!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Caldhu Cottage. A peaceful retreat in a beautiful part of the country and lots to do nearby. The highlight was seeing a deer in the stunning gardens! Highly recommended.

A stunning cottage set in a quiet rural location.

We had an amazing time and can’t recommend Caldhu Cottage enough. Immaculate inside and out, with woodland walks on the doorstep and a huge garden to enjoy. A 10 minute drive will get you to the lovely beach at Drigg - perfect for your four legged friends. The owners were very helpful and approachable. Thank you, we had high expectations which were hugely exceeded!

Needs Better sitting in the sunroom.

No Seating outside in the front of the house. Doesn’t seem to be enough pots and pans for cooking to full occupied rooms. No egg cups. Lol

We loved our stay in this beautiful cottage.

It was so peaceful . The garden with the wild flower meadow was very beautiful and we loved sitting out in the sun. The cottage was very clean with good facilities. A good base for our walks and climbs in Wasdale

Beautiful cottage in stunning grounds

A lovely restoration of a beautiful cottage in a rural setting, only observations, complimentary toiletries would have been good and mention in listings local pub is not dog friendly.

Such a wonderful property well equipped and so comfortable in its surroundings.

I applaud the owners for such a tasteful renovation it’s lovely . Fully enjoyed the historical location.

Breath taking; beautiful cottage.

Immaculately presented. The gardens are wonderful. A peaceful retreat. We didn’t want to leave!

Caldhu cottage is absolutely lovely- cosy and charming, we loved our week's stay.

It was the exact right size for a family of 5 or 6, giving us plenty of room to sit together or apart as the mood struck. It's perfectly situated for access to the Western Lakes, and we would absolutely stay there again.

Couldn’t fault Caldhu Cottage!

The location was a dream! Really clean and comfy! Loved the sun room! Nice walk around the grounds and round to the river! One of our most relaxing holidays. We’ll definitely be back!
