Rainbow Cottage

Absolutely wonderful place to stay couldn't recommend enough

What a pleasure it was to stay at Rainbow Cottage.

It was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, you could tell some real thought had gone into it. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and more. Felt like home from home. The village of Bolton is peaceful and the people very friendly. A great place to stay to explore the lakes and dales. Would highly recommend!

Rainbow cottage is a beautiful escape.

It is cosy and warm and in a quiet neighbourhood, peaceful and very comfortable. The beds are perfect, the property is very clean and has everything you could possibly need. The owners have thought of absolutely everything.

Rainbow cottage was all we could ask for and more beautiful location, cozy warm very spacious, had every thing we needed in plenty ,even down to things needed for the dog ,and toddler, would highly recommend this cottage.

Lovely house in a quiet spot at the South End of Bolton with a good pub just down the road.

The bedrooms were great with comfy mattresses and plenty of storage; kitchen very well equipped and the living/dining room is spacious and comfortable. There’s a backdoor vestibule to leave clothes and shoes after you’ve been out-and-about and also a downstairs toilet. The New Crown Inn does good food but be ready to share; the portions are ginormous! (not a criticism, just useful local knowledge). There are good walks nearby, although some involve stiles and field crossings, but then you’re in the Eden Valley, so the options are actually endless.

We had a super holiday at Rainbow Cottage.

The pictures don’t do it justice. The beds, linen and towels were lovely. The sofas very comfortable. The location is ideal for visiting both the north and south of Cumbria. Appleby is a short distance away and you can catch the train from there on the Settle to Carlisle line.

Rainbow Cottage is a lovely house, beautifully furnished and very comfortable - you won't find anywhere nicer!

It is set in a good location near Appleby-In-Westmorland,on the edge of the Pennines and close to the Lake District.

A great base from which to explore the northwest, Rainbow Cottage was a real home-from-home.

Comfortable and well-equipped, it was easily the nicest holiday rental we’ve stayed in and hope to return in the future.

Yes the cottage was 1st class everything one needs was supplied had no complaints at all would

A beautiful & inviting home that is ideally located in Appleby.

Everything was immaculate, the house itself, the beds were super comfy, heating system was great. The house itself is nestled in a peaceful and quiet area, with well cared for picturesque gardens to enjoy. Our stay was in June and we loved watching the swallows fly in and out of their nests of a Summers evening. Throughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to others looking for a relaxing break in a home away from home.

Without a doubt one of the best maintained and equipped cottages we’ve stayed at.

The owners clearly take the time to keep on top of the level of cleanliness and upkeep, which just makes the stay so much more enjoyable. The kitchen is well equipped with everything that we needed. The lounge and dining area is again well maintained and a comfortable relaxing place after a day out. Yes the TV is small but it works and is not a reason to mark this cottage down. The bathrooms are modern, spotlessly clean and the showers worked perfectly. The same again for the bedrooms that we used, the beds were comfortable and no issues. Nice quiet location and the only passing traffic seemed to be local horse riders. I would happily stay here again or recommend to anyone.

Such a well appointed, cosy, comfy cottage that had everything you need.

A real home from home in a quiet little village with lovely pub. Ideal base for exploring the Lakes and surrounding area. Owner definitely thought of everything including gifts for the dogs. Would highly recommend and would love to go back. Thank you for a wonderful week away.

Beautiful property fully equipped with everything needed during your stay.

Lovely, friendly owners who have clearly spent a lot of time making the cottage the perfect staycation location!

Had a lovely week at rainbow cottage.

Lovely area .only draw back was couldn't yous the bathroom shower as thermostat didnot work and water was boiling hot

We have stayed in a lot of cottages over the years but this one had the best quality furnishings and equipment to make our stay a real home from home experience.

Very pleasant enclosed gardens so our little old fur baby was very safe. Lovely views over the hills from the upstairs back bedroom window. Views from the garden were somewhat restricted because of where the cars had to park. I spoke to the host Donna a couple of times and she was extremely helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this cottage and would stay again if we were up that way.

Really excellent cottage.

Very comfortable and kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Only one thing we found was the TV is way to small. Could really do with a larger one for the size of the living area. Would recommend this cottage.

We recently stayed at Rainbow cottage over Christmas.

Donna called me a few days before to see if we had any questions or needed anything etc. Upon arrival we instantly fell in love with the cottage. With a teenager, two babies and a dog we sometimes struggle to find a cottage that has everything we need and that caters for everyone. This was not the case here in any way shape or form. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The cottage was immaculate and was extremely comfortable. It really did feel like a home from home. Our youngest unfortunately became ill whilst we were here (apologies to the neighbours for the upset crying in the middle of the night!) but because the cottage was so lovely it helped us to keep her as comfortable as possible while she got better. We are already looking at dates for us to stay again. Thank you for the special touches Donna and the presents under the tree. Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed at all. We cannot wait to stay at Rainbow cottage again. X

Wow!

Rainbow Cottage is an absolutely gorgeous property located in a stunning part of the country. Our party consisted of 2 adults, 3 children and the dog. The cottage is spacious and absolutely immaculate inside and out. There's everything you need there to assist a stress free stay... the owners had even left towels for the dog which was great as we'd forgotten ours... they've literally thought of everything. The surrounding area is great with plenty of works both straight from the cottage itself or a short car ride away. Appleby is a lovely little town with a couple of nice pubs (dog friendly), a few good shops (one especially for those who like Harry Potter) and a nice walk by the river. The owners contacted us a couple of days prior to our stay and made sure we had all we needed. I'd be very surprised if we don't stay here again... we loved it

The owners made contact with us to ensure that we had everything that we needed.

The cottage was well equipped, clean, tidy and comfortable. Location wise it is perfectly placed for exploring the Lakes - Kendal, Keswick, Windermere etc.

We have just returned from a lovely week’s stay at Rainbow Cottage as a group of 4 adults and 2 young children.

The house was spotlessly clean and very nicely presented. The location is great, the village has a brilliant play park and we enjoyed the food at the pub. We found it a great base to explore the local area. Things we loved: gorgeous views, well equipped kitchen, nice open living space, ample bathrooms, very quiet, high chair and children’s utensils were really handy. Things I’d improve: The towels provided are tiny! Almost like large hand towels, some bath sheets would be a nice addition. The wifi was very slow and the reach of the router very poor, could do with a better quality router box. We all hurt our shins on the very sharp edges of the wooden bed frames! Furniture while nice quality, is a bit bulky and cumbersome in the smaller rooms. Would’ve preferred a simple chest of drawers and some hanging hooks in bedroom 2 so there could’ve been a bit more space for 2 adults to move around. Overall we had a great week and we would definitely stay again. Thanks for having us!

An immaculate and well equipped holiday cottage.

Spacious, beautifully decorated and extremely comfy beds!! Very cute little garden. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Ideally situated for visiting the lakes, mountains and the Yorkshire Dales.

Beautiful home in pristine condition stocked with everything needed for a vacation away from home.

Great location with plenty of places to see only a short drive away. There were six of us on this stay, three generations and a dog. There was plenty of room for us all. If we had any concerns it was simply that the house was pristine and we were constantly watching the 2 and 4 year old to make sure we could leave the house as we found it.

The best cottage we have stayed in with comfortable beds and sofas.

All the appliances were top class and a lovely safe enclosed garden for our little dog. The neighbours both sides were very friendly and stopped for a chat. Well done to the owner for thinking about the little things that make it like home. Would highly recommend this first class cottage.

The cottage was spotless, very spacious and comfortable.

The beds were really comfortable and we all slept really well. The rainbow touches in the cottage were delightful. Lovely well looked after with plenty of seating. Would highly recommend a stay.

Beautifully presented and comfortable home from home.

Lovely quiet setting with all of the amenities you could ever require. Spacious, clean, well equipped and welcoming. Perfect location for exploring the lakes and surrounding areas. Genuinely hope to return.

Stayed at Rainbow cottage for a 3 night new year break with friends.

There was a lovely welcome pack which was very much appreciated .The village has a lovely local pub and we were made to feel very welcome.A very relaxing break in a lovely cottage.

We spent Christmas here and had a lovely time, cottage is clean, comfortable and as described.

The owner was lovely and left us little Christmas presents and communicated well with us ensuring we had all we needed. Could not fault it. Another point worth mentioning is the super comfy beds! We will be staying here again, thank you!

Beautiful modern and comfortable cottage in a quiet location yet close to all the amenities in Appleby and fantastic walks, locally and away.

The cottage was so clean and well equipped with a nice garden in a small cul de sac on the outskirts of Bolton. Local pub a short stroll up the road where the food was excellent. The owner was so helpful and friendly with phone calls and texts when you don’t always have any communication with the owners directly. Could not fault this property.
