  Lovely, clean, more than enough room for the 5 of us and the dog. The stream running along the back was lovely and views from the back windows were outstanding. Plenty amenities nearby and in a lovely village, we will definitely return.

• "We spent Christmas at Riverside Cottage and it was better than we ever imagined."

  It was warm and cosy and we walked in after an 8 hour drive to find it decorated for Christmas with a tree, mince pies, wine and milk in the fridge. It was much bigger than we thought and very well equipped, ideal for 6 of us with plenty of space for entertaining our family who live locally. The photos don't do it justice, we loved the comfort and many touches to make it homely. The utility room was a godsend with muddy dogs and walking boots and the extra snug a bonus. We walked up to Flookborough square for carols with a brass band on Christmas morning, came back to Riverside Cottage for lunch and it was just about perfect. Highly recommended, I would definitely go back.

  Thank you. glad you enjoyed your stay x Property Owner

• "Riverside View was equipped with everything we could have needed and more."

  It was so relaxing looking out across the fields, from the kitchen window, with the river running below and the birds occasionally hopping onto the window sill. Sunday lunch at The Pheasant in Flookburgh was wonderful. Every room has so much space and despite the weather being bad all week we still had a lovely stay in a very comfortable holiday home.

• "Everything about the accommodation was first class throughout."

  Except for one small thing, the kitchen being the hottest room in the house while cooking has a broken window and won’t stay up. If it could be fixed or replaced with a window that would open the place would again be fantastic. Full marks to the proprietors of the cottage. Pub was limited hours and sold non pub grub making it over priced. So no near by restaurants without driving. Thank you all.

  Lovely large lounge/diner. Clear instructions left. It was lovely and warm with loads of hot water. Fantastic views over the fields. Might be an idea to replace the mattress on the double bed but the singles were great. Very friendly local shop. All in all, a fab stay, despite the wet weather!

  Everything you need and the owners on hand if any problems (our kettle broke and we had a replacement within 15 mins!). Great location to visit all popular attractions such as Grange, Windamere, Ambleside, Ulverston etc. The engine Pub wasn’t serving food when we were there which was disappointing so check before you book if this is important to you. We found other pubs such as the Pheasant Inn near Flookbough and Cavendish Arms in Cartmel which were lovey and welcomed our dog too. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

  We were able to park the cars down the station approach (unclear where the allocated parking spot was). Short walk to the shop, the two pubs & the train station. The house has everything you need for a great holiday - comfy beds & settees, well equipped kitchen with a coffee maker, DVDs etc A lovely ‘starter pack’ of milk, biscuits, tea & coffee. Fantastic countryside views from the house. Just be aware that the only outside area attached to the property is an enclosed yard to the front of the house, but as you’re in The Lakes, plenty of lovely green open places to explore. We would not hesitate to rebook.

  The house was huge and with having two reception rooms we could do our own thing and not be tied to one room. With having an en suite bathroom in one of the bedrooms also gave us the opportunity to be together but not tied to one room.
