  Spotlessly clean,warm,inviting and comfortable. We along with our 2 dogs Skye and Merlin spent a wonderful week here. The scenery is beautiful and our sheep neighbours are so cute! Gemma the owner is an absolute star. A welcome of eggs,cake,milk and prossecco was a lovely touch. There is heating either electric or a woodburner but Herdie Hideaway is so warm we didn't use either evenwith an overnight frost. If we holiday in this area of The Lake District again Herdie Hideaway is most definitely first choice for our base. Thankyou Herdie Hideaway and thankyou Gemma. Les,Sharon, Skye and Merlin

• "Herdie Hideaway is a small Building which is at the back of a farmhouse, it is so small there is no room for chairs so you have to sit or lie on the bed if you want to relax."

  there is a wood burning stove but we found it too hot for comfort even when the control was set to it's lowest point. I think the cottage would be a good holiday stop for younger people than me and my wife as they would probably be out walking all day and down at the pub at night, but I would not recommend it for older people. I did not meet the owner but did meet her mother who was very nice and helpful.

  Many thanks for your review and I am sorry that I wasn’t able to meet with you personally. We would urge all potential guests to look on the website at photos of the Herdie Hideaway. Please note there are 4 chairs in the Herdie Hideaway. 2 chairs each side of the bed and 2 stools at the dining table. There are also 2 directors chairs provided for outside. We recommend when using the fire and only want a little heat to use a very small amount of wood on the lowest setting. There is also an option of a heater in the Herdie Hideaway. I will pass on your compliments to Mum. All the best. Gemma Property Owner

  Gemma was an amazing host, fresh eggs, cake and prosecco when we arrived was a lovely surprise. The hideaway was exactly what we wanted from a getaway for a few days, very peaceful and quiet, with plenty of farm life and lots of beautiful walks along the river.

  If you hate your partner and want to party, this ain’t the one. We have 2 large dogs and it accommodated us - It is small and therein lies its charm. We opened the fridge to find Prosecco, milk and we were stocked with wood and cake! The fire puts out serious heat so no worries there either. What more could you ask for? But there was more! Our boxer and GSD loved the paddock. They really made themselves at home and enjoyed all the space. I was over the moon when I got to feed the lambs and fell in love with Gemma’s horse - the most handsome boy. Gemma is an amazing host - the best we’ve met so far. Friendly but unobtrusive. We can’t wait to return and were sad to leave.

• "We had a fabulous stay, the Herdie Hideaway had everything you need for a short break plus some really lovely welcome extras that Gemma had arranged for us."

  Eggs from her chickens, milk, indulgent cakes and a bottle of fizz, really nice touches. The sheep themed cottage was quaint and was well equipped. We stayed 5 nights and ventured out daily for different activities in the lakes and surrounding areas. Places we visited were: Ullswater, parking in the main car park in Glenridding we walked around the lake up to the Aira Force waterfall and then hopped on the 20 min ferry ride back to Glenridding Fell foot, at lake windermere where we hired a rowing boat, we have a very large German Shepherd dog and there were no issues taking him with us to enjoy the activity. We walked around the meadow walking route (short walk) and had a lovely cuppa and cake at the cafe before heading back through some of the local villages of Appleby & Kendal on the way. Bowness, at lake windermere, hired an electric boat and headed right into the middle of the lake. Had lunch a chippy lunch at Driftwood, the gentleman server recommended a walk on the opposite side of the lake (much quieter and less touristy). About a 10-15 walk from the main car park is the car ferry which takes 10 mins to cross to the other side. Only £1 each for pedestrians and the dog went free From here we walked to Wray Castle and back Whitlatte Forestry Centre, renowned for red squirrels, sadly we didn't see any, but we do have a large dog so maybe that kept them away. Food at the cafe was lush! On the way home we stopped by Ingleton waterfalls. This is a one way 4.5mile walk around the 6 waterfalls and was well worth the visit and would highly recommend. Gemma, the owner of Herdie Hideaway was the perfect host, really welcoming on arrival but not in anyway obtrusive during our stay and was very relaxed about having our dog around despite the sheep being in lamb In short- Gorgeous location, lovely host, very enjoyable stay.

  Very quiet and relaxing place. Plenty of outdoor space for dogs. The owner lit a fire in the fireplace for our arrival and gave us a very warm welcome. Accommodation absolutely highly recommended! A great starting point for the surrounding mountain trails. In the near walk distance there is a very nice pub with tasty food and nearby is a very pretty little town Appleby-in-Westmorland on the River Eden, worth visiting and doing local shopping. I recommend a visit to the tourist information in the center.

  ! The cottage/cabin has everything you need and it's so warm and cosy.... The pictures don't give it justice!! Gemma our host, was so, so lovely and gave us a very warm welcome. She provided several little surprises to, which were homemade cake, fresh eggs, milk and a bottle of bubbly. My partner and I got engaged during our stay and as soon as Gemma heard, she brought us flowers, chocolates and a card - Such a lovely gesture!! We stayed for 3 nights, starting on the 01st of Nov and explored lots of neighbouring places. This included Keswick, Kendal, Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, as well as lots of nearby walks/hikes. It also has loads of nearby pubs and restaurants, which do take away, if you every want to curl up by the fire in the cabin, for a romantic night in....

  Thank you so much Grant, Abbie and the doggos for your kind review. We so enjoyed having you to stay and so pleased you enjoyed your holiday so much to the Herdie Hideaway. We really hope to see you again soon:) Property Owner

  Our dog Winnie absolutely loved the amazing outside space, which was really secure and made us feel totally comfortable letting her off lead. The location is great and we had two lovely days out to Pooley Bridge and Keswick. The host Gemma was so welcoming and the treats she left for us were a lovely surprise! We will be back!

• "What a outstanding location."

  Gemma the perfect host. On arrival the property was at a high standard. Gemma had left some essentials to start out visit , which was a pleasant surprise. She welcomed all including our cockapoo ALFIE. The property was all secure so our dog could just run about, he loved it. We were allowed to use our portable barbecue, which was great having the good weather we had. We also took a stroll down to the local Sanford Arms only a 10min walk. On the second night there,we saw the perfect sunset the sky was red, totally stunning. The Wi-Fi was a good reception no problem at all, so even though there was no TV, easy to watch live TV on our I-pads to close the night. Our wee cockapoo made friends with Gladys the wee lamb, amazing to see. We would highly recommend a stay here and will be definitely be back to relax in the Herdie Hideaway.

  Thank you so much. It was an utter pleasure having you all to stay, you were the perfect guests and really hope to see you again soon:) Property Owner

• "Herdie Hideaway is just the perfect retreat!"

  We felt privileged to be some of the first guests to stay at Herdie Hideaway and arrived to find it absolutely spotless and so inviting! Gemma is absolutely lovely and could not have been more welcoming! She greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the cottage. We really appreciated this as sometimes it can take a while to find things and decipher instructions. Gemma left fresh milk, tea, coffee and even a bottle of fizz for us to start our wedding celebrations early, and her Mom made us a beautiful cake - so lovely and unexpected! The location is just beautiful, with plenty of scenic walks and things to do near by. Our favourite part of our stay was sitting out on the patio in the evening, watching the sun set and the sheep play in the field next to us - they're so friendly and inquisitive! We booked our stay here to break up the journey up to Scotland; we will definitely return here and possibly for a longer stay as we enjoyed it so much and didn't get to experience everything we'd hoped to in the local area.

  Hi Amy, Thank you so much for your feedback. We loved having you all to stay and huge congratulations on your wedding:). We do hope to see you again sometime. Many thanks Gemma Property Owner

  Absolutely beautiful surroundings! The hideaway is surrounded by fields which our Labrador absolutely loved & the view of the sunset at night is spectacular. The owners were very attentive, friendly and took time to make sure that everything was ok. The location is remote which is exactly what we wanted, a very peaceful stay. I can already tell that this is going to be a very popular place to stay! Also, if you are lucky enough to meet Gladice the pet lamb she is an absolute sweetheart! Thank you so much Gemma!

  Hi Gemma, Thank you so much for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure to have you and your gorgeous Labrador to stay in The Herdie Hideaway. Hopefully see you again! Property Owner
