"Perfect cottage and exactly what we needed for a relaxing break in the Lakes."
The cottage was cosy and well equipped with everything we needed. It was a joy to look out at the river view from the living area and watch the variety of birds, sheep and goats that came to visit! The traffic noise never bothered us and being on a train line was a plus point for our train enthusiast son. The children's play area was also a bonus and my daughter enjoyed it. The location is great for walks on your doorstep and also easy to visit other areas of the Lakes by car. Would recommend to anyone and hope one day we can stay again.

"Great little cottage in an amazing location however the motorway and railway is unfortunately loud."
This is however clearly listed. The beds weren't very comfy and the kitchen utensils were lacking with some in poor condition. Otherwise it was a great stay, surrounded by wildlife, great hosts and a lovely cosy cottage.

"We needed a post-lockdown change of scene and this cottage was perfect for us."
The view of the river is even better than in the photos! Comfy cottage with lovely walks right on the doorstep, and just a short distance from Lakeland walks and towns. Close to the M6 and railway, but you scarcely hear those from indoors.

"This is a great location if you enjoy walking and is very convenient for the Howgill Fells, great cottage with everything you could possibly require."
If you do plan to go here take what food and drink you need as the only reasonable shops are in Kendal.

"We've rented this cottage before and we love it miles from anywhere purfect."
Most areas of interest are about 30-45 mins away
So you have to be prepared to drive but it's so worth it because the farm has beautiful views a river running by the cottages beautiful little play area. With sheep running free and little goats you can go and see.
There's a device station about 2 miles down the road that do lovely food.
Highly recommended and will use the cottage again

"The location of the cottage overlooking the river was great but the closeness of the WCML and M6, 400-600 yards meant that you had to get used to traffic but after a day it was not a problem and did not spoil our stay."

"What a wonderful cottage set in the most picture perfect position!"
The cottage was fully equipped, very roomy, very well insulated and offered amazing views from every window. It offered privacy, seclusion and convenience as it is located on a farm close to all the facilities one could want: shops 5 and 15mins drive away, walking routes on the door step or very close by, and views of the Howgill Fells. We loved our stay and wished it had been for longer. Thank you for the chance to stay.

It was a shame that we had to leave so suddenly because my mother had a stroke. So we had to go back 4 days earlier. But as i wrote we had a great time and the people were very helpful.

"River View cottage is lovely, warm & cosy."
1 mile along a farm drive. Although the west coast railway line and the M6 motorway are close, we weren't disturbed by them at all. It was great to be able to sit and watch the river and wildlife from the living room window.
We got snowed in for 3 days and were very comfortable. Kevin the owner was extremely helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. He even went and got us some shopping from the village shop in his 4x4. Once the track was passable with care, he followed us to make sure we made it safely.
