“Nook Cottage is very warm and cosy at this time of the year and was beautifully decorated for Christmas.”

As usual Carol provided a generous welcome pack. We had a lovely week and will return next year!

“The welcome basket including snacks, biscuits, tea and coffee, bacon, eggs and milk was a lovely touch.”

The cottage was prepared for our arrival including the lights and open fire too add a cozy feel to our arrival. Location is perfect short walking distance to the pub and various walk and bike walkways. Parking is difficult one car can park in Nook farm. The coffee machine was an added extra we took advantage of too. Plenty of white fluffy towels in each bedroom and a great size cottage for a family of 4. The bathroom is small and does require some updating but is in keeping of the age and type of property it is.

“The cottage is very clean and cosy.”

The welcome pack is very good. I do however think it is a little over priced for the time of the year.

“Had a great holiday at Nook cottage.”

The kids loved the sheep out the back door.

- Mrs Robertson, July 2018
“The cottage was great and the welcome hamper a brilliant unexpected and generous surprise.”

We had a pretty wet week and a tumble dryer would have been extremely useful. Also for 6 people a second loo would have been handy!! Garden was and good and secure for our puppy. The kitchen door would be great if half of it opened so that the farm dogs can’t get in!! There was adequate bike storage but not strictly ‘secure’. Good holiday though in an amazing area.

“Beautiful cottage located in a gorgeous village, perfect for walks.”

Fantastic bus service into Keswick and good taxi services in the area. The cottage was well equipped and we was greeted with a lovely little welcome hamper on arrival, a nice touch. Would love to come back again.

“The welcome pack was much appreciated and the owners living next door were very helpful and friendly.”

The location was excellent and it was also a wonderful experience to stay on a working farm, especially one where a new born calf arrived during our stay. My only negative comments are that it needed more equipment in the kitchen to cater for 6 people and overall it was a little small for cooking for this number.

“We loved the welcome basket at the cottage.”

What a lovely added extra. The log fire was very cosy and it was such a lovely welcome to the home. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

“Nook Cottage is a lovely cottage which is perfectly situated in Rosthwaite.”

We walked from the door for 3 days and could have done more. The warm welcome with the lit fire and such a lovely welcome hamper was very appreciated and kind. This cottage is really good and we hope to return soon.

“This is the third time I've stopped at this property it is excellent.”

Unfortunately it will be my last visit, having seen that the prices have almost doubled for 3 night stops next year. Shame.

“The cottage was well equipped and was in a lovely spot.”

The garden was enclosed which made it safe and easy for my 2 dogs. The welcome pack from the owners was a lovely touch and start to the holiday.

- Miss Fox, July 2017
“Welcome pack of food much appreciated - a nice touch!”

We couldn't open the back door as none of the keys seemed to fit - should really be accessible as an extra exit in case of fire.

- Mrs Corder, March 2017
“Most welcoming cottage we have stayed in in nearly 20 years - eg.”

fire was lit ready for our arrival. Location is superb. Just wish you could arrange the weather !!

- Mr Phimister, February 2017
“A real "home from home" cottage in a fantastic location.”

We were met by a roaring fire and a very generous welcome hamper. Lovely to be able to bring our dog with us. Would definitely recommend.

“Home from home”

Gorgeous cottage, good size bedrooms, very welcoming. Perfect location for walking, good that it accepts dogs as we took two. Lovely little garden out the front with a large supply of coal and a starter log pack. Lovely hamper upon arrival full of treats and fresh milk in the fridge. Tight getting the 2 cars in, but just enough room.

“A lovely cottage”

They had thought of everything and we really enjoyed the bacon for our breakfast the first morning. Brilliant location and even better that dogs are allowed. A perfect walking holiday.

“A Walker's Haven”

A comfortable, well equipped cottage, with plenty of space, but the most important thing is the location. If you are a walker it simply doesn't get any better. Great circular walks from the door, and the reasonably frequent bus services mean linear expeditions over to Langdale, Thirlmere, Lorton, or Whinlatter are all possible. The cottage has an enclosed garden, which is unusual in the lakes, but really useful if you have dogs.
