We loved Milford, it was such an easy property to stay in.

Comfortable, warm, well equipped and dog friendly. We loved that we could shut the dogs in the front yard while we sorted out boots and coats and loaded and unloaded the car. This made it extra easy for us. We also loved the walks from the door round the playing field and over the viaduct to Wetherall. If we return to the area we would definitely book again. Thankyou.

We loved the cottage, it was clean and very nicely laid out.

The kitchen is well equipped and they supply everything you need. Loved the range cooker. The attention to detail is great throughout. The cottage is in a lovely village and as an added bonus the recently renovated pub has just reopened and also serves food. We slept well as the bed is so comfortable , lovely shower room. We thoroughly recommend it and hope to stay again on another occasion

Great accommodation in a convenient location to explore the Eden valley.

This was our second visit to Milford which has been refurbished to a high standard with a well proportioned shower and everything needed for a comfortable week’s stay. The cottage is conveniently located with plenty of local amenities such as local walks, newly renovated pub across the street, and a short walk to the train station with service to Carlisle. Over the viaduct there are more excellent places to eat and drink as well as a post office and convenience store. Hopefully we’ll be back soon to explore some more of the area and enjoy another superb lunch at the postings cafe.
