“The cottage itself is every bit as lovely as the pictures show, what the pictures don't show is the setting of the cottage.”
It is right by beck with an abundance of wildlife attracted right outside the window, in particular having 3 red squirrels regularly visit every morning & evening was very special. The variety of birds attracted to the feeders was a real joy, if we hadn't been out walking all day every day it would have been very easy to stay entertained simply watching the birds & red squirrels. The location for walking is about as good as it gets, plenty of high fells can be reached from the doorstep and if the high fells are too strenuous there are some beautiful valley walks or even walks across the passes to other locations. If you enjoy a romantic cottage for two, wildlife and of course all the mountain walking you could wish for in a holiday break then you really wont be disappointed. We've had more than a dozen cottage stays in Cumbria, and are always very picky about where we stay, this is definitely in the top 3 and could even be number 1. The cottage itself has all that 2 people could need & we particularly liked the very large space for storing & drying muddy boots & clothing. We had pushed our holiday back by 12 months due to covid, this stay was exactly the antidote needed after the year we've all been through - just totally loved it.
