“The cottage was a perfect get away in the beautiful countryside and we were made to feel most welcome with a lovely hamper .”

Clean, comfortable and felt like a proper home from home and would most definitely recommend.

- Mr Asprey, February 2020
“Lovley cosy clean cottage in great location.”

Very well equipped with lots of thoughtful details.

- Mrs Kinsella, February 2020
“This is the 6th time we have stayed at this cottage.”

It’s so cozy and in a position where you can do a lot of walks from the door or jump in the car and walk around Buttermere, Derwent Water, Cat Bells, Watendlathe, Winlatter Forest and so many more great walks. One of the best walks is 200 meters to the Walkers bar at the Scaffell Hotel in the village for great food, wine and beer. Can’t believe we just spent a week there with no rain and very little wind!

- Mrs Atkin, January 2020
“Lovely cottage, wonderful arrival hamper and decorated for the Christmas season.”

Perfect for family of four and two dogs.

- Mr Gill, December 2019
“The comfort and cosiness of the cottage.”

The overnight snow made it even more magical.

- Mr Summers, December 2019
“Fantastic location, old World charm, all the facilities you should need, the welcome gifts were over and beyond anything we have recieived on any of our other stays.”

- Mr Moseley, November 2019
“Book cottage is a lovely cosy cottage and very well equipped.”

We had a lovely relaxing weekend and enjoyed the fantastic views from every window.

- Miss Nichols, November 2019
“Private cottage on a working farm.”

Although you can hear the sounds you would expect from a working farm we were left to our own trip and not interrupted. Anything you can think of is supplied, hair dryer, games, wifi, hot water bottles even! Welcome basket was perfect, eggs, bacon, milk, tea coffee and goodies. Clean, tidy and plenty of room. Nothing near by but that was fine for us. Keswick is only a 15 min drive. Bathroom was a little tired and it’s a big place to heat in winter but we took blankets and had the open fire going which was lovely. Full fridge and separate freezer which is good if you are taking frozen goods. Just want we needed to switch off for a few days.

- Mrs Mcnaught, November 2019
“Very cosy cottage, with open fire pre laid for our arrival.”

Spectacular walks available from the front door.

- Mr Burn-murdoch, October 2019
“The cottage was fabulous, all the beds were comfy, as were the sofas, perfect after a long walk on the fells.”

Everything you could need was provided in the kitchen. The village was peaceful and there were great walks in all directions.

- Mr Linley, September 2019
“The cottage is situated just down the road from my family.”

Was perfect location. The proprietors couldn’t do enough for us it was excellent. Every need was catered for.

- Mrs Smith, May 2019
“A comfortable well kitted out cottage in an incredible location.”

Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. Amazing welcome hamper and fruit bowl- thank you. Good size for 4. Wifi is very intermittent as the router is next door. Apart from that everything else was perfect.

- Mrs Lloyd-jones, April 2019
“Lovely cottage within walking distance of local hotel and walkers bar with excellent food.”

Lots of walks from the door. Cosy and warm. Ideal for relaxing

- Mrs Atkin, January 2019
“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.

- Mr Mckenzie, December 2018
“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!

- Mrs Owen, December 2018
“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.

- Mrs Wiper, October 2018
“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.

- Miss Scott, July 2018
“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.

- Mrs Watson, July 2018
“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.

- Mrs Marsland, May 2018
“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.

- Miss Shelley, March 2018
“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.

- jimcarey1234, December 2015
“Beautiful cottage, beautiful location!!”

Beautifully kept warm cosy cottage.Gorgeous views and walks from cottage in every direction. We received a lovely hamper on arrival. Cottage right in centre of village down a small lane, pub 2 min walk away.

“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 FlipKey verified reviewer, September 2013
“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.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, July 2013
“idyllic”
