Mr Romanowska
October 2020

“Absolutely loved staying in the cottage and wish we were booked for longer.”

We had everything we needed and the owners are lovely to deal with and professional. Cottage is clean and the covid prevention is taken seriously. The area is beautiful with lovely sights from each side of the cottage. Would go back in a heartbeat. Also recommending a nearby pub the cross keys - lovely food and service. Photos of the pub on the internet don’t give this place a justice.

“The only thing I would say is that it would be great if there was a photo of the front if cottage.”

We could not see anything familiar when we arrived and were a bit confused until we found the name on the door. Appart from that it is amazing cottage and fantastic outdoors for adults and kids.

Mrs Lowe August 2020

“We had a lovely week at Mount Cottage.”

Being a family of 7, myself, husband, our son and his wife plus 3 grandchildren aged 11, 9 and 7 the cottage was perfect. Very clean on arrival and well equipped. The kids loved fishing with nets on the river and there was plenty of places locally to visit. The chair in the little alcove under a skylight was fab for me. I have bad mobility problems and it was really comfortable. The beds were all Comfy and the showers were excellent. Some people have said the M6 was close - it is but we were not disturbed in any way by the traffic. Would recommend you visit the cottage, it’s in a great remote location and having its own enclosed garden area and the adventure playground for the kids were a great bonus.

Mrs Neild August 2020

“Spotless accommodation.”

Kitchen well equipped. Unfortunately place mats and coasters removed due to current restrictions. I was concerned about marking furniture. Beds varied between hard and soft all with snow white bedding and bouncy pillows. Garden area a mix of concrete and stones, great for the dog not so good for a toddler. High chair and stair gate provided for us. Lots of outdoor space along the river but dogs need to be on lead in many fields with the sheep. Picnic benches along the river. Cleaning equipment provided for play area. Shared outdoor bins washed daily. Narrow mile long tarmac track to cottage but plenty passing places. Owner was on site every morning so any problems could be resolved. Plenty parking.

Mrs Meinke November 2019

“The cottage looked lovely, couldn’t find the electric fire and a small welcome food pack would have been nice, milk, bread, eggs as the shops are a couple of miles away.”

Bed mattress was not comfortable but the area has lovely scenery and the local pub was very welcoming.

- Mrs Meinke, November 2019
Mr Ferguson November 2019

“Had a lovely break at Mount Cottage.”

“Absolutely stunning cottage, everything we needed, we will definitely be returning, owners helpful and friendly”

- Ms Lamkin, October 2019
Mrs Karen June 2019

“Very good family accommodation which suited our needs for 6 adults and our well behaved, horse loving dog!”

As a large family, other cottages on site would enable us to consider a larger party.

- Mrs Karen, June 2019
Dr Talbot June 2019

“Excellent central location for Yorkshire Dales and Lake District.”

Property very clean (full marks to housekeeper). Comfortable beds. Although the website blurb said that the farm track is unmade, it is actually tarmac all the way and we had no problem with our Meriva.

Mrs Boyd February 2019

“A fantastic location for a break away.”

Easy access to the lakes and lots of areas of interest. We had a great stay with 3 small children. The children enjoyed the on site playground and watching the sheep and passing trains! The cottage was a good size and confortable for us all to stay. Thanks! Would visit again!

- Mrs Boyd, February 2019
Mrs Staddon December 2018

“Wonderful location and quaint cottage, lovely walks, nature and the view is beautiful.”

Wifi not great but to be honest I was quite pleased as kids were happy to stay out on walks exploring the hills and meeting the ponies. Our Great Dane had a waggy tail throughout our stay. Thank you.

- Mrs Staddon, December 2018
Mr Chaddock November 2018

“Fantastic location surrounded by the hillside, set back from the main road along a winding single track that runs along side the river.”

We underestimated the proximity to M6 and main rail line, so there was a little bit of noise, but we found the trains to be louder than the traffic on the M6. Still the noise was acceptable and shouldn't put you off. Lovely property with some fantastic features. Shame that the velux window wasn't bigger to enjoy more of the view. Beds are getting abit flat and hard, plus the TV's were somewhat limited, but the technology was a minor issue only experienced on a bad day for weather. Overall, we would still love to return to this property in the future. Owners seemed really nice and available if we needed them. Take some of the essentials (bread/milk etc) with you as local shopping is either one of the service stations or nearby towns.

- Mr Chaddock, November 2018
Mr Odonnell October 2018

“Could not fault the cottage.”

Stunning place to stay. Comfortable warm spacious. Ideal place for a relaxing get away. Will be going back for sure.

Mr Smith August 2018

“The long farm track described online is actually tarmac, obviously you need to take it easy as there is live stock roaming free.”

The cottage looks nice form the outside but i felt really excited when we walked through the door, all rooms are of decent size 2 doubles with ensuite and shower , another double with 3 singles and a large family 4 piece bathroom . Upstairs is open plan with double oven ,dishwasher(bring extra tablets) fridge ,washing machine , freezer and tumble dryer beautiful views included.

- Mr Smith, August 2018
Mr Davies August 2018

“The cottage was a bit disappointing.”

It was nowhere near as big as it looked in the photos, and was a bit basic, although perfectly clean and comfortable. Some decent curtains which actually covered the front door and glass beside it would be good. Also needs a few extra touches to make it a bit more luxurious. A welcome pack would also be good.

- Mr Davies, August 2018
Mr Kumar August 2018

“I loved the cottage and it was like my second home.”

I have not felt anything missing there great location with excellent surroundings. It has all facilities which required for perfect holiday .

Mrs Sarwar July 2018

“We had an amazing stay at mount cottage at Cumbria.”

The cottage was very clean,comfortable and had all the facilities. We needed some extra bedding as our children were coming at different times to stay with us. I spoke to the owner and offer to pay extra but he left plenty without any further charges. My young foster children were very happy and enjoyed the animals and the play area was great too. I would highly recommend to others and would like to go back again in future. A fantastic stay!!! Thank you Sobia Sarwar

- Mrs Sarwar, July 2018
Mr Self July 2018

“The 5 cottages are at the end of a mile drive set between a river below and mountains all around.”

Lovely base to explore Cumbria, Yorkshire and Lancashire. Only 40 odd miles from Scotland as well. Accommodation lovely, well thought out and with a garden to the rear with bbq area. For young families there is a play area which also has basket ball hoops and goals that my 20 something's used.

- Mr Self, July 2018
Mrs Walton June 2018

“The cottage was perfect for a family with young children.”

The site was safe and had lots to entertain little ones. the park area was perfect and the horses, sheep and goats were lovely. It was a perfect base for travelling to attractions and although the motorway was nearby we really didn't notice the traffic noises.

- Mrs Walton, June 2018
Miss Karunakaaran May 2018

“Very nice cottage surrounded by amazing sceneric views.”

Mrs Norcliffe March 2018

“Wonderful holiday cottage, set in beautiful valley farm location.”

Truly a home away from home. Being on the farm at lambing was brilliant and the farm team were patient and friendly with our children offering 'help'. Comments to allow for a more organised holiday for the visitor - bring food and essencials for the first couple of days, the nearest supermarket is Kendel half an hour away. There is a village shop located near by but is very expensive.

Mr Mellor July 2017

“Beautiful cottage...”

We stayed there with relatives for a few days. There is a rambling track down to the cottages - don't look down! The satnav takes you to the door, so is easy to find. It is very well equipped; recommend you take some extra loo roll and dishwasher tabs. Two of the rooms have on suite and the shower was lovely. Beds are comfy, could have done with a summer weight quilt as we were hot. The cottage was spotless and done to a high spec. There is WiFi and the connection was good. We liked the enclosed garden at the back as we took the dog so they could be let out without much worry. We did have the heating on on one cold day and it got nice and cosy. The M6 does run at the back but I didn't hear the road noise in the bedroom. The cottage was used as a base so it was wasn't a major problem. Beautiful scenery. Would go back there again!

“Fantastic place and the family were wonderful too.”

We will definitely go back.

Mrs Watson December 2014

“We had a lovely weekend and the cottage was great.”

It was well laid out so even though we were 7 plus a dog we didn't feel cramped at all. It was great to be so close to the river with some lovely walks. We felt we had really got away from the hamster wheel for a week end. The standard of the cottage was excellent. Warmer than my own house!

About the location

TEBAY

Kendal 13 miles; Penrith 17 miles; Windermere 19 miles.

The charming old village of Tebay sits near the eastern fringe of the Lake District National Park. The village itself winds its way along the edge of the main thoroughfare and the traditionally whitewashed Cross Keys Inn has been there for 500 years or more. The inn is reputedly haunted by the ghost of the Tebay Witch, Mary Baynes. Along with its better-known neighbours of Kendal, Sedbergh and Appleby-in-Westmorland, the area is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside and beautiful scenery. Nearby Orton has a local pub serving good food, a Post Office/shop, tea rooms and the famous handmade chocolate shop. A lovely village green surrounded by 17th and 18th century cottages adds to its charm and there is a farmers' market in the village square on the second Saturday of every month. Take a short drive and discover the unspoilt lake of Haweswater, or take advantage of the excellent road links to the Lake District, the Eden Valley and the Yorkshire Dales.
