Mrs Dennehy June 2021

“We booked the Eller Riggs cottage for a short break to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.”

Every aspect of the visit was perfect. When we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely anniversary card and a bottle of bubbly. The cottage itself was stunning, finished to an exceptional standard with everything we needed. The location is perfect, just outside Ulverston, far enough out of town to feel remote but close enough for convenience. The scenery was breathtaking and we had amazing views from almost every window. Loretta and Keith live close by and could not do enough for us, Loretta was even kind enough to take some photos of us to treasure our visit. We will return to this gem of a location and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Mr Pritchard August 2020

“Tranquility & location of cottage.”

Owners of cottage on-hand & very helpful.

- Mr Pritchard, August 2020
Mrs Sumby August 2020

“We had a fantastic week at Eller Riggs.”

Loretta was the perfect host and recommended some fantastic places to visit when she called to speak with us. Black Combe is definitely worth the climb for a 360 degree view of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The cottage was very cosy, comfortable and welcoming. It had everything we needed. The only slight disappointment was the shower cubicle. The shower itself was fantastic with hot and powerful water. However, the grout was grubby and could do with a little clean. It's a minor point and it didn't detract from our enjoyment. We would definitely recommend a visit.

- Mrs Sumby, August 2020
Mr Smith March 2020

“This was a lovely cottage to stay in for a week.”

Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and the most fantastic shower! Our view every morning was stunning, over looking fields of sheep and lambs. Perfect location for peace and quiet and only a short drive to Ulverston with all its shops and places to eat. We hope to return very soon!!

- Mr Smith, March 2020
Mr Solferino December 2019

“Great location, hospitable owners, amazing cottage.”

But why do they ask to leave boots outside? Wet boots makes fo an awful day hiking. I suggest that the owners reconsider this policy.

- Mr Solferino, December 2019
Mrs Salthouse November 2019

“We have just returned from spending a week at Eller Riggs Cottage.”

The property itself was beautifully presented and had everything we needed. The bottle of wine, milk and tea and coffee were very much appreciated. There were plenty of books, games and videos on hand and lots of leaflets suggesting days out. The property is situated about a mile and a half outside Ulverston which had a good range of shops, cafes and pubs. We visited Barrow, Coniston and Grange and all were a short drive away. We had a lovely seven days relaxation enjoying the cottage inside and the beautiful views outside. Brilliant!

- Mrs Salthouse, November 2019
Mr Hastings November 2019

“Wonderful stay in the perfect Lakeland setting.”

Clean tidy and well equipped. Quiet spot with beautiful views morning and night. Great location for walks and just a few mins to Ulverston. Spacious and well laid out. My children had a great time and thought the cottage was just perfect. 10/10 from us, Thank you!

The peace and quiet was very nice; the people that own the cottage are very nice, and friendly. Ulverston is a very nice place to visit. There are so many pubs and the cottage had everything that you could possibly need, and the walk in shower was amazing. This is a must for people to visit.

Very nice open space and brilliant for relaxing. The Cumbrian way passes right next to the cottage, and the walks are lovely. Underfloor heating was a joy, and the whole place had a very nice feel and vibe about it. Would go again next week if I could. The owners were very nice and friendly.
