“Beautiful accommodation in a lovely setting.”

Perfect for a family get away or for couples on holiday together.

Perfect for a family get away or for couples on holiday together. Lovely to watch the deer in the grounds at breakfast time. Perfect location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, Hadrian’s Wall and the Lake District.

“Beautiful setting, lovely accommodation”

Spacious, comfortable and with stunning views, this apartment was brilliant for our family holiday. It was a great base for days out exploring the Lakes and Wetheral itself has some lovely walks along the river Eden and good pubs. Our children enjoyed the grounds at the back where there were picnic benches and we were fortunate to see some deer. Another nice outdoor seating area at the entrance. Highly recommend!

“Lovely property, great location”

A really good find, slightly off the beaten track (i.e. not in the Lake District itself) but close to Carlisle, Hadrian's Wall and plenty to do in Northern Cumbria despite pandemic lockdown closing some attractions. It's part of a sizeable country house with the owners living in the same building, who were very pleasant. The accomodation itself is generously proportioned, with enough room for 7 of us covering 3 generations, although we've since been informed that the max occupancy is reducing to 6. That will make it even more spacious. Nice lounge and kitchen, and lots of sleeping space. The grounds are lovely, with room for kids to run around, play football etc, and even a few holes of golf! We were told there was a picnic / BBQ area as well but it was quite hidden and never looked hard enough to find it. There's an easy walk into the village with a small shop and a few restaurants / pubs. Also pleasant to walk along the bank of the Eden. Carlisle just a few miles away with visitor attractions and shopping so there is really everything you need. Highly recommended.

“A lovely apartment set in beautiful grounds.”

Really comfortable for 6 adults. Owners were friendly and welcoming. It’s a great base for exploring and the village has two good pubs for food. Also it’s own train station for exploring further. Lovely find

“Accommodation was set in a wing of a lovely country house with glorious gardens.”

Decor was up to hotel standards, although it could do with a touch up or deep clean in a few parts. The bedrooms were excellent, although the bunk room was very narrow. There were really good amenities in and outside the house; for example, badminton rackets and dvds were provided. The accommodation was quite spacious and very quiet, while the views to the rear were superb. We didn't realise just how pretty Wetheral would be. It's a very good base for exploring Hadrian's wall, Carlisle and northern Lake District. Please note that, despite what earlier reviews say, the house does not come with a free pass to a local swimming pool. We paid for this separately and it was extremely expensive - as were the local post office and eating places.

- Mr Shevlin, August 2019

Thank you for your feedback and for staying at our cottage, we are pleased you enjoyed your holiday. As owners we do pride ourselves on our standards and we regularly upgrade our cottages at the end of the season, this cottage has some decorating scheduled for later in the year. Unfortunately the local hotel stopped providing leisure passes for cottages in 2016 and we have therefore been unable to provide this service since then. We hope we can welcome you back again in the future. David and Julia Sykes owner relations

“It was a great place to stay.”

We were able to watch deer, rabbits & pheasants from the windows and also to take walks around the grounds & village. The apartment is well set up and decorated & we were very comfortable. The only thing I would emphasise is that there are two flights of stone steps to reach the apartment’s door so make sure all are able to climb them. There’s no lift as it’s a very old house. Beautiful place and no problems with any of the facilities. Thanks

“We have stayed in this property in the past.”

It is a wonderful property with a beautiful backdrop of the hills. It gives access to Northumbria, Lake District, Scottish Borders, Howgills and the Yorkshire Dales which are all a walkers paradise. My main comment about the apartment is that it really needs a "facelift" by being decorated plus some of the carpets particularly the dining area either need cleaning or replacing, likewise sofas were badly stained. Our last stay here was in 2013 and nothing appears to have been replaced/cleaned. The bedroom furniture had tea stains spilled down the front. Whoever does the cleaning for this property needs to give it a "good fettle" as we say in Yorkshire. Although my comments may appear disparaging, it would not stop me from staying here again and I would recommend to others. However, I don't expect to have to start cleaning immediately on arrival when on my holidays.

Mr Forrester May 2018

“We loved the facilities provided, the views, garden and situation were very good.”

We felt that the kitchen and especially the sitting room were rather tired and the sofas and carpets were needing some tlc. It appears a family were occupying the East Wing for quite a while, which may be the reason. We did not realise their were so many steps to the apartment. All in all though we found our stay comfortable and would if possible choose the garden apartment for a preference for us in any future visits. Thank you.

“Great Thanksgiving”

We had six adults and the apartment was very spacious and comfortable. Great village location with amazing pastoral views from all windows. So relaxing we did not want to leave. Great quintessential English country village. Looking forward to our next visit.

“30th Birthday Celebration”

Rented Geltsdale from 18th to 21st June 2016 for party of 7 to celebrate daughter's 30th birthday having lived for 5 very happy years in the beautiful village of Wetheral during the 1980s. Rental area is the East Wing of a very large and extremely attractive and impressive country house set in several acres within the heart of the village and only 10 mins from Carlisle City Centre. Property is tastefully furnished and equiped to an extremely high standard with exquisite views over the properties extensive manicured gardens and the surrounding countryside. Guests are provided with a free Visitors Membership Pass to the nearby Crown Hotel Spa and Leisure facilities (10 min walk) which are a welcome indoor option if weather is poor. Rental owners, David and Julia Hogarth are resident in the main property and are on hand and always happy to deal with any problems or requests. Located just off Junction 43 of the M6 and 3 or 4 minutes from the A69 Hexham/Newcastle Road, the property is ideally situated for exploring the Lake District or Nothhumbria and Hadrian's Wall. Within a few minutes walking distance visitors can access the Village Green with a shop, Post Office, Railway Station (Carlisle/Newcastle) and local Bus sevices. and a choice of 3 pubs - all serving a high standard of food.(Fantails Restaurant is a converted Farm property providing excellent food in a great environmeant - exposed timbers, stone walls, several working fireplaces, views over Village Green, and largely lit by candles). An excellent quality property in a beautiful, relaxing rural environment - but with easy access to all the attractions and amenities of the Lakes District, Eden Valley and Northumbria. We had a marvelous time and will definately use Geltsdale and othe Lakes Cottages properties again in the future.

“Three Generation Wedding Party”

Excellent accommodation with lovely views and regular visits from the deer. Ideal set up for 3 generations to enjoy a wedding reception at Warwick Hall. Recommend Wheatsheaf Inn in the village for good food and very friendly staff.

“High quality flat in a lovely location”

This is a fantastic property forming the upper East Wing of a large country house. The accommodation and fittings are very hight standard and it is both warm and comfortable and fully equipped. Our kids loved the pirate themed room. There are great views with lots of wildlife including deer and peasants. There is good wifi. Access to the leisure club in the village is a great bonus for swimming in the warm pool with the kids. We found numerous walks locally and most encountered a great county pub. The Wheatsheaf is by far the cosiest and with a good local atmosphere. Do walk over the Viaduct, to the caves and to Warick on Eden. We could not fault this property.

“Superbly appointed accommodation”

We travelled as extended family at Christmas. We were delighted by the quality accommodation at Geltsdale. Top notch quality throughout, from beds and linens to the fantastically stocked kitchen and utility room. To our delight, the Christmas decorations were up and tastefully decorated. The views from the apartment were stunning and the presence of deer on Christmas morning was a delight. The location of the property was great, close to amenities and easy travelling distance to Carlisle. The only negative is that my elderly parents who suffer with arthritis struggled with the 2 flights of stone stairs to reach the front door.

“Truly amazing ! First class residence, stunning location.”

From arriving on the driveway our dreams came the property full justice. Trip advisor reviews are all spot on. The owners were very courteous and made a point of greeting us. The facilities inside were excellent and as described. Views from the bedrooms are stunning. We had a weeks holiday to remember, the locals were all very friendly and the bonus of having access to the local hotels health club just topped everything off. We could not have found a better location to use as a base. With easy access to the lakes, or over the border into Scotland or the beautiful cumbrian countryside. We definately will make a return visit and are already advising family & friends.

“Fabulous property, lovely grounds and some terrific walking country”

Stayed here in March and got to enjoy the snow fall, didn't stop us going out walking. As for the property it is such a well laid out place. A very cosy sitting room, very spacious kitchen and dining room and all of the bedrooms were well appointed. The main bedroom which we used had a lovely en-suite and a very comfortable mattress. If you're coming to stay here then pack your walking boots and get ready to enjoy some wonderful countryside, there are plenty of guide books in the property to give you plenty of options of where to go walking.

“Delightful stay.”

Quiet, peaceful, lovely views and setting. Quite likely the most comfortable, pleasant and well set-up self-catering accomodation we've experienced in many years. So nice to come come "home" to at the end of a day of sight-seeing or walking. Many thanks to the owners for making it available.

About the location

WETHERAL

Carlisle 5.3 miles.

The village of Wetheral lies five miles from Carlisle in the north of Cumbria. With great transport links, Wetheral has a quaint village green and is overlooked by a restaurant, pub, village shop and tearooms, along with the Crown Hotel. A short steep walk takes you past the church and remains of the abbey to the River Eden. To the east, the 19th century viaduct towers above the river with some of the best salmon fishing in the country. Further along the river you can view a wonderful waterfall from Corby Castle, and woodland walks lead to the remains of the caves used in the 14th century. Carlisle – the Border City – is the main shopping, commercial and industrial centre in the northern half of Cumbria, with a museum, historic tours, and plenty of entertainment for you to enjoy at your own leisure.
