"We stayed here for 4nights and it was absolutely brilliant."
Hot tub and yard are private and a perfect little sun trap. The cottage was homely and had everything we needed. Only 15mins walk to Silecroft beach, with beautiful views of BlackCombe mountain. The south lakes zoo and wastwater lake are only half an hour drive away and provided us with fantastic days out. Helen was the best host, greeting us on arrival and waving us off when we left. Approachable and easy to contact if we had any issues. We would and will definitely be back.
It was lovely to meet you both and i am so glad you had a great time Property Owner

"Amazing cute little cottage."
We were looking last minute for our honeymoon. This was definitely what we needed. Helen was amazing, the facilities & all she provided & helped us with during our stay was exceptional. The hot tub was also amazing to be able to soak in & relax after a day out exploring.
If you're looking for an amazing place to stay then I'd recommend staying here as its perfect for couples.
Thank you so much Helen.

"Helen the land lady was very welcoming and happy to recommend places to go."
The cottage was small but lovely for 2 people.
The hot tub was big and clean and well maintained throughout our stay. Nice private patio to relax on.
The local pub was a 15 minute walk and just to note it no longer sells food.
Also really good was the train station just down from the pub we went 2 stops to Ravensglass and had a lovely day out.
This is a great cottage to just relax and we would definately go back.

"This was my first visit to Lake District and I cannot emphasis enough how hospitable Helen was during our stay."
The cottage was extremely clean, cosy, well equipped and the best place to stay for a couple. Helen was extremely helpful, any queries we had she was responsive and happy to always help. Her service was very welcoming, and made me and my partner enjoy the Lakes even more because of how safe and at home we felt! I would highly recommend this cottage and have the most praise for the Landlord. I have traveled to many places, but Helen by far was the best host in all my experiences! I will definitely be returning and hope that anyone viewing this property will have no hesitation in doing so, it is the best of choices!
It was lovely to host you both. Thank you for the lovely review and look forward to your return in the future x Property Owner

The Jacuzzi and surrounding patio tastefully done. A thoughtful touch were the dressing gowns and slippers to use in the above outdoor area.
The view of Black Combe behind the property was magnificent.

"The garden was lovely with a nice hot tub and barbecue available to enjoy."
The cottage was ok but was probably expecting a bit better considering the price. The sofa was tiny and really wasn’t comfortable to even sit on let alone relax. The general cleanliness wasn’t particularly great as it was a bit smelly which felt as if previous cooking smells had got into the fabrics of the furniture and curtains. Flies was a bit of an issue as well inside the property as was the busy road the cottage sits on and was a regular wake up with traffic passing. Overall nice but, value for money, I would say not and lots could be improved.

"Hickory Cottage was perfect for mine and the missus’ anniversary."
We got the weather which stayed in the garden until late. The hot tub was a nice surprise and we got our fair use out of it. Bed very comfortable! Sky tv and WiFi available inside so could watch the England game! (Priorities)
What’s more is the host Helen was very kind and welcoming and is there for anything you need help or guidance with. A nice walk through silecroft to the beach is a must. Millom not too far away which has many great pubs and restaurants. We will be definitely booking Hickory Cottage again.

"This was my first stay anywhere since lockdown restrictions eased."
I was a bit nervous as taking my 4 year old granddaughter for a short break. The cottage was spotless it’s in a good spot for walking to local pub and about a mile to the beach which has a cafe and toilets open, we had a fab day at the beach. It has a train station for trips along the coast. Helen is a super host and was on hand for any queries. Helen knee I wanted to bake and brought us a basket full of baking utensils and even made us a cake - much to the delight of my granddaughter. Would stay again.

It is next to the owners house where thet were having some building work done which caused us little or no problems. The owner couldn't appologise enough and sent over a bottle of wine.
On arival there was a bottle of wine in the fridge along with milk. There was tea, coffee and sugar in the cupboardso there was refreshment on your arrival.
The area around the cottage is beautiful to amazing, the owner friendly and helpful.
I would recomend this cottage and the surrounding area to anyone wanting a laidback scenic holiday. Our week was over too quickly.

The Cottage itself was very clean and compact, had everything we needed including maps, books, torches and a compass, and was very warm! The bed was so comfy! Helen was extremely helpful and accommodating, and we could not have asked for a better host. Would recommend staying here whenever in the South Lakes. Thanks!
