Rainbow Cottage

Hosts Diane and Simon are great hosts.

It was our second visit to Rainbow Cottage, and was every bit as good as our first trip last year.

Rainbow cottage was very spacious and comfortable.

We had a fabulous holiday at Rainbow cottage.

The hosts, Diane and Simon, made us feel very welcome. The cottage is spacious and comfortable with wonderful views and we were able to take advantage of the sunny outdoor seating areas. The setting is beautifully quiet with dark skies and stars. Our hosts recommended great places to eat and visit - we had a thoroughly enjoyable week.

A great cottage in a lovely setting.

Diane and Simon are wonderful hosts and ensure you have a very comfortable stay, nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend Rainbow cottage, great walks for the dog and nice villages to visit in the area. All on one level which is just what we need to accommodate all the family - we will be back!

Spacious, well equipped cottage.

Ideal for a relaxing break.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Rainbow cottage, location was perfect for us, just a short walk into the village but was peaceful and felt remote, the views across the fields were great.

Simon and Diane were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble and they were happy to help with suggestions for good local pubs and places to visit. We loved our stay, just wish it had been longer.

Cottage is very well designed, very spacious, everything there, dog friendly Location is excellent if you want peace and quiet in a rural location.

Near enough to Kirkby Stephen for all amenities. Good location/base for walks in the area

Property owners very friendly & accommodating.

Nothing too much trouble & always ready to chat. Very nice people. Property very spacious, well equipped, clean & comfortable.

We had a great week.

The property was very good, comfortable and clean, and the owner, Simon, was very friendly and welcoming.

Little gem set between Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Pennines, so plenty to do and see.

We particularly recommend looking for red squirrels playing above the accessible railway path to the Podgill viaduct, or taking the train and having a look at the Ribblehead viaduct followed by tea at the station cafe. The cottage itself is wonderful both inside and out, perfect for our group of 4 people, including one with limited mobility.

We had a lovely stay here.

Everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay was included. The space in the cottage was amazing...set out with 2 wings so that you can have your own space. Plenty of outdoor seating areas with lovely views. The owners of this property are really lovely kind and welcoming. They make sure you are comfortable and have a wealth of local knowledge. We can't wait to return. Go there...you won't be disappointed!

Second time staying at Rainbow cottage.

Lovely peaceful place to go and relax. Plenty of space for everyone. Owners were friendly and helpful. Couple of small issues which were dealt with quickly so can’t fault anything. Will definitely be going back.

Second time at rainbow cottage this year.

Absolutely love it. So quiet & peaceful. Simon & Diane are really lovely people. So friendly & welcoming

We had a really lovely time at Rainbow Cottage.

It is brilliant for accessibility, everything on one level and a walk in shower. It was very comfortable, very clean and has everything you need. It is quiet and relaxing, the perfect get a way if you want to switch off, but just a short drive away from great pubs and lovely walks. There is a great accessible walk from Smardale Gill that takes you to the Viaducts. We had a brilliant time and will be back.

Amazing!

The cottage itself is absolutely stunning, very large and felt like home, very well equipped with everything there that you need. It was the perfect base for exploring the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Diane was great before hand keeping in touch to let us know arrival times and directions etc. and when we were there Simon was a fantastic host making sure our stay went perfectly well. An absolutely amazing time had in an amazing place and we will certainly return!

We had a lovely few days at Rainbow cottage.

The surroundings were beautiful with a choice of 3 seating areas. Inside the cottage was clean, tidy and cosy with all we needed for a comfortable stay. Disabled access was brilliant for people with limited mobility. Close by Kirby Stephen has a variety of shops and restaurants to choose from. Diane and Simon are great people who are happy to help with anything you may need. I would highly recommend this cottage if you are looking for a relaxing break. We are looking forward to coming back for a little longer next time!

Excellent cottage in a wonderful location.

The place was clean, tidy and comfortable. Everything was there and in good order, so you could just enjoy the place and its setting and use it as a base for wider travels across Cumbria and the Lakes - or even into Northumberland. The owners were friendly, easy going people, who were happy to help in any way. It was good to see their small herd of Herefords in the adjoining paddock and to feel part of the farming community.

What a wonderful place this is.

Diane & Simon were fantastic The cottage was spotless & is stunning. Can't wait to go back for Christmas
