"Overall I want to say we really enjoyed our stay and it felt plush and luxurious."
Spare bins for recycling inside the cottage would be a big help rather than having one generic bin and having to carry the other bits different places. The sofa bottom cushions kept walking from the base and we had to "remake" it twice during our week. No dishwasher was a pain in the butt but this really is a first world problem. Please provide throws for the furniture so if we are on holiday and relax we can relax with our animals as well. I really do want to say I'm almost having to think of feedback for this review so much was positive rather than negative.

"Wow, this place is absolutely amazing."
The attention to detail is second to none and the well in the room is just an amazing feature. The facilities for the dogs in terms of a field for them to run in and treats left by Harry & Matthew are also just really fantastic. I would recommend this cottage to all my family and friends. Finally I would like to thank Harry & Matt for their warm welcome and chats. Thanks for a great short break. We will be back :-)

The kitchen is spacious and very well equipped.
Dining is at the breakfast bar that forms part of the kitchen and living area.
Unique features include a wood burning stove for winter warmth, underfloor heating in the bathroom with mood lighting to create the best evening relaxation, and an impressive well at floor level with glass top and colour changing lights create pleasing mood lighting movements on the ceiling above during dark evenings.
The bedroom contains a wonderfully comfortable super-king size bed that can also be made into a twin bed by request at the time of booking.
Parking is immediately adjacent to the property and to the front of the property is a semi-private outdoor seating area with west-facing views that afford The Dairy with some truly remarkable sunsets.
The outdoor seating area then open onto The Orchard, which is where you may freely exercise and dogs accompanying you.
The Orchard also forms part of the 1-mile walk around the farm and can be used as an additional sitting out area on the various benches and seats provided.
You may also enjoy a quick relax in the hammock or a gentle swing in the tree swing at the old oak tree.
It is from The Orchard where you might like to start the 1-mile walk that gently takes you around the farm estate.
On this walkabout you can enjoy some lovely views and sights including an enclosed wildlife area, new wooded areas, an open wildflower meadow, and meet some of the other resident animals onsite including Kunekune pigs, sheep, goats, hens, ducks, and other poultry.
All of these are pets, there for enhancing the visitor experience.
The latter also provide some of the most excellent free-range eggs!
The Dairy comes with a charcoal fired BBQ as standard, to be used at your pleasure.

Brackenthwaite Farm
Brackenthwaite Farm offers a collection of three holiday properties located in the picturesque Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape on the border between North Lancashire and The South Lakes in Cumbria. Set within ten acres of its own private grounds, here you can enjoy a variety of onsite facilities including a 2 ½ acre fully enclosed field that is perfect for exercising dogs. Take a stroll yourselves around the site on a 1-mile path that weaves you past a miniature wildlife area and meet their resident farm animals of sheep, goats, and kunekune pigs – all pets – along the way. All properties are newly modernised and fully equipped for your needs. The owners take great care of their properties and the site ensuring everything is exceptionally clean and properly maintained. Each property benefits from its own private space and semi-private outdoor area, as well as access to the shared spaces such as The Courtyard, Rose Garden, and Orchard. Brackenthwaite Farm can be hired out as a full site to accommodate up to 12 people and host a special occasion such as a family gathering or birthday celebration. Due to its setting within one of The UK’s most diverse and unspoilt natural landscapes, Brackenthwaite Farm is perfect for those who enjoy walking, hiking, and exploring new areas. The area is rich with ancient woodlands, intimate meadows, sandy beaches, limestone walls, buildings, and natural pavements, and some wonderful hillsides to climb for some incredible views across the bay and on towards The Lake District or The Yorkshire Dales. Within all these unique habitats there are more than half of all Britain’s flowering plant species, and an abundance of life that this supports. Places to visit and some of the local attractions in the immediate area are Arnside and Silverdale, Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve, Arnside Knott and Warton Crag, RSPB Leighton Moss, and several sites owned and managed by The National Trust and Wildlife Trust. Other attractions include the Leighton Hall Estate, Sizergh Castle, and Levens Hall with its fine topiary gardens that are the oldest in the world. Further afield but also well worth visiting are Lake Windermere in The Lake District, the beautiful village of Ambleside, The World of Beatrix Potter, Lancaster Castle, and the promenade at Morecambe for its unrivalled views across the bay. So, whether it’s an active holiday you seek surrounded by nature and charming countryside, or a complete switch-off from life’s everyday stressors, you can find exactly what you need at Brackenthwaite Farm.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

ARNSIDE
Kendal 10 miles; Windermere 17 miles.
Arnside is situated on the southernmost tip of the Lake District in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where low limestone hills, marshy plains and deciduous woodlands characterise the surrounding land. This former fishing port has retained many of the features from its past. The beautiful pier and port areas of the village offer stunning views across the Kent Estuary, as well as providing an enduring reminder of Arnside's illustrious history. To the south of the village are the 15th century Pele Towers, which were constructed to defend against the marauding Scots. The local surrounding area is a nature lover's paradise with stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks through countryside alive with rare plants, trees and wildlife. The internationally renowned Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve is also just one mile away. Guided walks across the Kent Estuary are available, showing the full splendour of the shore and surrounding area. Within easy touring distance are the Lake District and Lune Valley, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland.
