  • "Loved the house and facilities, instructions clear and easy to understand."

    Had a lovely stay in a beautiful part of the country. Couldn't find any matches for the wood burner, and we were only given two half loo rolls, but apart from that all went well. Would definitely recommend and stay again! Thank you!

  • "A great place to stay for our family."

    The comments book was really useful especially when looking for places to eat. The only thing we would say was that it mentioned that we had to let you know if we wanted to use the travel cot. My mum rang twice but no one got back to her to let her know that you had got the message so we had to borrow one to take with us in case there wasn't one there however we found one upstairs when we get there. Thanks

    We're pleased that you enjoyed Clover Cottage and the great choice of local eateries! Thank you for the feedback regarding information from Sykes, I will pass on that feedback. Property Owner

  • "Lovely, homely cottage."

    Lots of space, warm and comfortable and nicely styled. Great kitchen and bathrooms. Lots of games provided. My son loved the loft room, looking out at night especially. Nice little garden to sit out when the weather is good. In a beautiful area and very peaceful, lovely walks close by and places to visit short drives away. The pub at Nateby is lovely and food gorgeous. People in Outhgill friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the house and area. Thank you for your useful feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future! Property Owner

    Quirky layout but worked great for a family of 6 and a family of 3. Already getting dates together for a stay next year. Everything you needed was available at the cottage and in a great location to get to the dales and the lakes for day trips. Great pub down the road. Would 100% recommend Clove Cottage

Good pubs with good fresh, home cooked food

  • "The cottage was very dirty especially the first floor which was carpeted and stained with a lot of cob webs."

    Most of the mattresses were in their worst condition, they had mattress covers on top but still the springs were still hurting. The day we arrived to the night before we left there was no internet inspire of numerous calls to the number provided and spoken with, on top of this there was no mobile connection either. There was no TV for 3 days out of our 5 days stay. The utensils were highly smelly we had to wash everything all over again as soon as we arrived after a long drive. The location of the cottage is beautiful but everything else was disappointing. I wasn't expecting any luxury, I was only expecting a clean cottage with basic amenities. Thanks.

    Thank you for your feedback. We have recently purchased new mattresses for the whole property. Due to the remote nature of the property I'm afraid phone signal can be limited, we have recently added this to the listing to help future guests. The community is in the process of installing superfast broadband which should minimise any further problems with the Wifi. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was lovely and very well equipped, and the setting was stunning, however we were very disappointed with the cleanliness of the cottage."

    There were cobwebs in every room, especially bad in the kitchen and around the skylights. The blinds in the living room to the double doors were moldy on the back and the beams which can be seen when coming out of the top bedroom were thick with dust. It didn't ruin our holiday but thought it needed to be addressed to avoid potential complaints from other guests. Also as the check in time was moved to 5pm, to enable a deep clean we feel that this hadn't be done.

The property

Kirkby Stephen 5 miles.

Clover Cottage is a charming stone-built cottage located in the village of Outhgill, not too far from Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria and its abundance of natural attractions.

Set over three floors, this retreat is perfect for the whole family to enjoy.

The ground floor features a beautiful farmhouse kitchen, designed to an exceptional standard, with a dining table that seats up to eight people, and plenty of space to rest with a warm cup of tea in the early hours.

Boasting a contemporary feel, with patio doors opening out to the enclosed garden, you can spend much of your downtime simply relaxing here.

A bunk room is ideal for housing the children and a shower room completes the ground floor.

Wander upstairs to the lounge; a signature piece of the cottage, comprising a split layout that is almost a mirror image on both sides, with two sets of sofas for you to choose from.

A-frame beams, Velux windows and a woodburning stove promise to add a sense of charm to those cosy nights.

That's not all, with the addition of a Juliet balcony, you can stroll outside at your own leisure and take in the delightful garden views.

Two bedrooms are located on the next floor, joined by a family bathroom, which comes presented with a shower over bath.

The final double bedroom is accessed via another staircase, tucked away beneath a series of beams with calming views of the hills that invite natural lighting inside.

Situated between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, the traditional market town of Kirkby Stephen hosts a variety of shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs where you can revel in the delights of local produce and tasty meals.

Outdoor fans will be in their element in this charming town as it has a whole host of activities set in its beautiful nature surroundings, grab your bike and cycle on the Walney to Wear cycle route which will take you from coast to coast or grab your rod and head to the River Eden or Bessy Beck Trout Fisher to catch something for your supper!

Unleash your inner historian and take a trip to the impressive Brough Castle, stemming from the 1200’s and later restored by Lady Anne Clifford in the 17th century, where you can also visit St Michael’s Parish Church near to the castle to learn more about the region or indulge in an ice cream from the Brough Castle Ice Cream Parlour.

Grab your walking boots and head to the idyllic Jubilee Park which is home to an award-winning summer house and a host of rare trees and plants, your inner horticulturalist will be impressed.

Meet the local’s and purchase souvenirs at the Kirkby Stephen Market every Monday where you’ll be sure to find some hidden treasures.

Venture further afield to explore the wonderful Howgill Fells or the majestic Pendragon Castle and Brough Castle.
