“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.

“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.

“Could not fault the cottage.”

“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 .

- Mr Kumar, 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.

“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.

“Cottage was easy to find with the satnav taking us straight to the door and communication with the owner was great.”

- Mrs Clee, August 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

“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
“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
“Very nice cottage surrounded by amazing sceneric views.”

Highly recommend it.

- Miss Karunakaaran, May 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.

“Cottage was very comfortable and had more than we needed”

- Miss Holmes, February 2018
“Excellent cottage, perfect in every way and nothing we would change, wouldn't hesitate in booking this cottage again”

- Mr Green, February 2018
“The house was perfect for us - a group of 6 friends.”

It was warm and really comfortable. We loved its position next to the river with immediate access to great walking. The key was waiting for us so we were able to relax immediately

- Ms Pritchard, November 2017
“We enjoyed a wonderful family break at Mount Cottage.”

The facilities and location were perfect!

- Mrs Hanratty, October 2017
“This was listed as having 4 bathrooms but only had 3.”

It was my husbands birthday and the owners had left a birthday banner and a bottle of champagne which was a lovely personal touch.

- Mrs Johnson, October 2017
“Such a lovely location and the guys were very friendly and welcoming.”

The small park was great for the kids and my girls totally fell in love with the horses. Excellent break and would highly recommend.

- Mr Mellor, July 2017
“Beautiful setting.”

Clean and comfortable accommodation. Very good children's play area. Easy access to other sights in the area.

- Mr Hill, March 2017
“Small touches would have made it perfect.”

E.g. Hairdryer, television in rooms.

- Mrs Riddell, March 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!

Brockholes Farm Cottages

Tebay 2 miles. Situated on a rural lane along the banks of the River Lune, which cascades down the valley, and surrounded by the stunning Howgill Fells, are these five Cumbrian holiday cottages, two miles from Tebay and conveniently close to the M6. Set on a family-run livestock farm, these Tebay cottages sit amongst spectacular surroundings, whether you stay close to home and observe the daily activities of the farm, with its resident hens and sheep, or explore this beautiful valley, with its dramatic, ever-changing scenery. Each of these Cumbrian cottages have been lovingly created from old farm buildings and are furnished and decorated to an excellent standard, retaining character and charm. Both come with private outdoor seating areas, along with shared use of a children’s play area, plus the opportunity for walks across the farmland and even fishing on the river. These exceptional cottages are surrounded by an area rich in wildlife and natural beauty, and located close to the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Parks, they’re superbly placed for exploring the rolling Dales and the quaint Yorkshire villages of Hawes and Dent, whilst the beautiful Ullswater, the second longest lake in the Lake District, can be found within 40 minutes’ drive.

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.
