Description
Nestling in an idyllic Cumbrian village, Dalston is 5 miles from Carlisle, Heather’s Cottage is a truly outstanding property that is a perfect setting for a high-end unforgettable family or friends holiday.
It is an ideal base for exploring the Lake District, Solway Coast and the Scottish Borders.
As soon as you turn onto the driveway you will see how well-presented the property is, with a really stunning finish from the immaculately landscaped gardens to the high-quality fixtures and fittings inside, which all add up to create an opulent and relaxing ambience.
Step into the spacious open-plan living area which really does have the ‘wow’ factor, with floor-to-ceiling patio doors, the gorgeous sitting area is defined by comfy seating, a Smart TV and views over the garden, this is somewhere you can gather to chill together and catch up.
The spacious kitchen is beautifully appointed, any discerning chef would love cooking in there, the breakfast island creates a real feature to the space where you can pull up a stool, pour yourself your favourite tipple while keeping the designated cook company, you can savour your meals at the elegant dining table in front of the expansive patio doors, or even on the patio when the sun is shining.
If you fancy a night off cooking the Bridge End Inn is over the road where you can treat yourself to some traditional pub food, enjoy the beer garden or pick up a takeaway.
Children can enjoy the garden safely and under adult supervision, are welcome to make use of the adjoining garden.
Come bedtime there are four charming bedrooms to choose from, two doubles on the ground floor and a king-size and a twin on the first floor.
If you can tear yourself away from the charming cottage a walk along the River Caldew to the village square is idyllic, the square has a Coop, butchers, gift shop, café, take and much more, the attractive market town Carlisle is only 5 miles away, which has a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants as well as a castle and museum.
Dalston village is on the Reivers Cycle Route and the Cumbrian Way, The Lake District National Park and Solway Coast are a scenic drive, offering a wide range of activities and things to do.
This is an ideal setting to toast a special occasion, and really does elevate the property to another level.

What guests are saying
Absolutely perfect.
The cottage is gorgeous and has everything you could want for a quiet getaway. It's in a great location to get to the Lakes or even into Scotland if you fancy. Dalston is quaint little village and has what you might need. We'd love to go back again!
Thank you for the lovely feedback Thomas! We are glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.
This is our second stay at Heather's Cottage.
It has easy access for people with mobility issues as there are no steps into the property and has 2 double bedrooms with a bathroom on the ground floor. Very spacious and, if you get good weather, the large windows slide and you can step out to the patio area with ease. Very comfortable stay with friends. Highly recommend.
Thank you for the feedback Jennifer, I’m glad you and your friends enjoyed your stay!
An absolutely beautiful cottage with a fantastic location, we would highly recommend and will definitely return.

This was a lovely modern cottage situated perfectly on the edge of the Lake District.
The accommodation was immaculate, well appointed and clearly loved. The owners were friendly and kept a respectful distance. The grounds are well looked after and the whole stay was wonderful.
Beautiful house in a loveley garden.
Small welcoming touches, fruit, wine, toiletries etc made us feel very welcome. Very clean. Well equipped except for tea towels, But the kitchen was so huge we might not have looked in the right cupboard!
Thank you for the lovely feedback John. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Heather's Cottage. We apologise about the tea towels as these are usually left in the kitchen drawer for all of our guests.
It is the best accommodation I have stayed in.
Stylish, high-class, and comfortable—every detail has been carefully thought out and designed. Perfect!

We had the most amazing stay.
The cottage was incredible- perfect grounds for the kids to play. We had everything we needed. To make our stay even more special, a lovely little birthday surprise was arranged on arrival which was so kind. The two local pubs were also amazing, lovely food every time we visited.

Heather’s cottage was beautiful.
It was spotlessly clean and well maintained and had everything we needed for our stay with 3 children and 6 adults. The outdoor space was great for the children to run around and had a little swing set for them to play on. Hannah, the property manager, was so helpful and everyone was really friendly. Can’t recommend this beautiful place enough.
Thank you so much Hayley for your lovely feedback, it is greatly appreciated!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heather’s cottage.
The place was fabulous, lots of extra touches to welcome us. Any questions we texted were answered immediately by Hannah who was a superstar. Only half an hour’s drive to most of our favourite places like Ullswater and Derwentwater. We can’t wait to book again x
Thanks so much for the lovely review Ruth, we are pleased you and your family had a fabulous time! Look forward to hosting you again in the future.

Dalston is pretty lots to see around the area too plus great pub just over the bridge from property. We shall definitely return to Heathers Cottage
Thank you so much for your feedback Donna, it is greatly appreciated! I am glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Heathers Cottage was amazing!
The welcome treats were a lovely touch on arrival after a long travel from Essex. The cottage was stunning both inside and out and had everything two families could need. There was lots of space for the children to play hide and seek. Lots of lovely walks near by and the local pub is a must for the best Sunday roast I have ever eaten. The communication with Alison before the holiday was excellent and it was also so nice to meet her too! We will definitely be back in the future.
Thank you so much Kimberley for your feedback. It was lovely to meet you and I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I look forward to hosting you and your family again in the future!

An amazing property in a lovely part of the world.
Everything was fantastic
Thank you so much Richard. Really do appreciate the feedback.
Perfect place and very clean!
We had the best time for my partners 30th and the hosts even got cakes, balloons banners, Prosecco and a lovely card! Couldn’t have asked for anymore, would recommend this place to everyone.
Thank you so much for your feedback. So pleased you had a lovely time celebrating. Thanks again.
Beautiful cottage, well appointed and spacious for 8 people.
Well equipped kitchen with everything you need. The host was very helpful providing us with detailed directions and local information. Great location on the edge of the village with good amenities. Lovely walks on the doorstep and a train station in the village if you want to leave the car. The pub over the bridge was welcoming and served delicious food. We would stay here again.
Thank you Catherine for your feedback, really so appreciate it. So pleased you enjoyed your time in Dalston. Look forward to hosting you again.
A perfect stay from beginning to end, could not fault a thing.
The cottage was absolutely beautiful with everything we needed. We were a party of 4 couples and there was plenty of space to eat, sleep and relax. Alison and David provided all the information we needed and even added a few extra special surprises for when we arrived. They were the perfect hosts. We will definitely be returning
Thank you Shirley for your lovely feedback. So pleased you had a lovely time. Look forward to hosting you again.
Heathers cottage is an amazing place to stay.
All mod cons, stunning rooms and very clean and tidy. The little personal touches are lovely. Pub just over the bridge and lovely walk into Dalston . All in all a wonderful place to stay. If you need anything the host is just a phone call away and nothing is any trouble.
Thank you so much for your lovey feedback.
This has to be one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in.
The hosts were very accommodating from the off. Quality fixtures and fittings and everything you need along with little extras like prosecco, flowers, cookies and fruit. Absolute immaculate property. Towels, bedding etc all of high quality. Only complaint was it was so good I want to move in!! Ohh that underfloor heating was just brilliant on a cold November day! We will certainly return and will be telling all our friends to book too - can’t recommend highly enough ☺️
Thank you so much for your feedback it is very much appreciated. I am so pleased you liked the cottage. Look forward to hosting you again.
Me and the family stayed here recently for 2 nights and loved every minute of it.
The hosts were very accommodating, made us feel so welcome and the cottage had every we needed for our stay. We arrived Friday evening to a warm, cozy home with a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us. Just outside of the cottage was 2 sheep, a donkey and a small horse and we were able to feed them with the food provided by the hosts. Over the two nights the kids and the rest of the family made memories all under the same roof that they’ll remember forever. I can’t praise the hosts enough! A truly amazing place that we would certainly be returning to.
Thank you so much for your feedback. It is lovely to hear that you made some lovely family memories to treasure. Would love to host you and your family again. Many thanks again.
Great stay, a well appointed place to stay and nicely done.
Plenty of space and very close to local amenities, would definitely revisit in the future
Many thanks for your feedback is much appreciated. Look forward to hosting you again.
From the minute I entered the property car park I was impressed with the standard of the exterior of the property and the surrounding garden.
This carried on when we went into the property. It was immaculate. The property was furnished to an amazing standard with a fantastic kitchen and several bathrooms. We had no issues during our stay, but the owner had left an information pack with their contact numbers if you required assistance. I would highly recommend this property.
Such lovely feedback, thank you so much, really appreciate it.
Wonderful cottage.
Spacious, very clean and everything you need for a lovely, cosy and comfortable stay. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your feedback is really appreciated.
We stayed at this wonderful cottage to celebrate my dad's 70th Birthday.
What an amazing house - very spacious, high spec with everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay. We asked the cottage owner if they could do a little something for our arrival - our expectations were exceeded. We were absolutely thrilled to find balloons and a banner, some bubbly, fresh cupcakes, fruit, flowers and even a card for Dad. So very thoughtful and kind - we were all very touched and it made for a special start to our lovely long weekend, lots of memories made. Also worth a note that my dad has a mobility scooter. The outside path right from the front door to the road was perfect for him to navigate, so very well thought out. We walked to the Bridge Inn and also into Dalston. We would recommend a meal at the Bridge Inn with amazing food and sevice. We also visited the Bluebell pub and a local cafe in Dalston for drinks only, the food looked lovely in both (and in the fish and chip shop!). We did go the butchers in Dalston and tried the local hot pasties, those were yummy. Don't hesitate to book this place, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return!
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the 70th birthday. So pleased to assist you in making some lovely memories. Also lovely that you enjoyed some time in the lively village. Thanks again really appreciate you taking the time.
From start to finish Heather’s Cottage was just perfect.
A stunning property with everything you need and more. Alison the owner is such a lovely lady and more than happy to answer and queries immediately. We had the most relaxed weekend in perfect surroundings. I would not hesitate to recommend.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, really do appreciate it. So pleased you had a relaxing weekend.

Many thanks for your lovely feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Heather’s Cottage. Hopefully see you again.
Absolutely fantastic house.
Very comfortable. Alison and David were very helpful too.
Fantastic place.
Wonderful host. Everything you could possibly need is there. Stayed there 3 nights as a base for Dalston Hall where daughter was getting married, could happily have stayed there forever !
Just Beautiful, the cottage was immaculate.
It was the perfect setting for a family getaway to celebrate a special occasion. The hosts were friendly and informative, and had thought of everything. The beds are so comfy and the outdoor furniture was gorgeous for relaxing in the sun. We wish we could have stayed longer. Dalston is a pretty little village, with a cafe, butchers and small supermarket. We ate at the Bridge End Inn and the food was delicious with huge portions. We would highly recommend a stay at Heathers cottage.
I couldn’t rate this highly enough.
We stayed to celebrate a 60th birthday and had an amazing time. The cottage has absolutely everything you could possibly need, was super clean and had lots of nice finishing touches - milk in the fridge, a bottle of prosecco, cookies, fresh flowers and miniature toiletries. We had 5 adults and 2 young kids and there was plenty of space for us all, enough cutlery, crockery and glasses for us all and then some. Plastic cups and plates for the kids which we appreciated!! There was also tea, coffee & sugar, washing up liquid, washing tablets & fabric softener, hand wash in all bathrooms and plenty of pots, pans and trays for cooking. I can’t think for anything that was missing. The local area is lovely, the town centre was lovely for a wander, the Bridge End Inn served good food and Walby Farm Park was a hit with the kids. The owners were so helpful & friendly, we would definitely recommend a visit here.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I’m am delighted that you and your family had a great time celebrating a 60th. I am so pleased that you liked the cottage and the local area. Hope to see you all again. Thanks again.
Supply of a teapot saved the day.
Attended to maintenance swiftly. Welcome pack and trial size toiletries were a nice touch and really made our weekend stay
Happy to help with a teapot. So pleased you had a good weekend.
The cottage is stunning and in a perfect location.
Very well equipped, great layout and immaculate. We were lucky to have beautiful weather, so made use of the lovely garden. Excellent communication with the host. We would definitely recommend it.

We had a lovely week at Heather's Cottage.
Alison went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The house sleeps eight, but there was plenty of space for day visitors. Everything was of the highest standard. Dalston has some lovely walks, and it is within easy reach if Carlisle, Caldbeck and the Lake District. I would highly recommend this delightful house.
Many thanks for your feedback. I am pleased you and your family had a lovely week and enjoyed the area.

Beautiful cottage, very spacious.
Lots of lovely little touches which make you feel very welcome, great stay!
Many thanks for your feedback, is very much appreciated.
Everything about the property was great!
Lots and lots of space and finished to a very high spec. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and was ideal for cooking and chatting. Big fridge and freezer which matters when you are self catering. The outside space is lovely too, and would be wonderful to sit out in warmer months. The owners were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. We regularly try to get away as a family group and this is one of the best properties that we have stayed in.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed your time in the cottage and it met your needs. We really do appreciate you taking the time and look forward to hosting you again with maybe some sunshine!
Heather’s Cottage is absolutely beautiful so well designed and equipped .
We are sure to recommend to all family and friends.
Many thanks for your feedback, really do appreciate you taking the time. Hopefully see you and your family again.
Wow , what an amazing property!
We have stayed in lots of self catering accommodation across the country & Heather Cottage is one of the best! The house is absolutely stunning, spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped & finished to a very high standard. The owners have thought of every detail & the welcome pack & all the personal touches were lovely & much appreciated. We were lucky with the weather when we stayed & were able to fully open all the sliding doors while we were enjoying sitting outside. The completely enclosed garden was ideal for our grandchildren to safely play in. We look forward to coming back to Heather’s cottage when we are next in the area. We would recommend this house to everyone!
Many thanks for your lovely feedback, I really do appreciate you taking the time. I am so pleased that you found Heather's Cottage amazing. We look forward to hosting you and your family again in the future. Thanks again.
We stopped here as two families and had such an amazing time.
The accommodation is perfect, with so many well thought of features. The location was great too and we enjoyed a walk into the village. The prosecco and cookies also went down a treat thank you! Our only slightly negative was that it was quite warm despite us turning the heating down. But this didn't really alter our experience at all. Would definitely recommend and rebook, thanks!
Thank you so much for your feedback, really do appreciate you taking the time. I am pleased you enjoyed your time in the cottage and the village. Thank you for your comment on the heating, I have now adjusted it. Look forward to hosting you again in the future.
This cottage was amazing.
Very clean and modern. In an ideal place . Took family for my husband's birthday and our grandson loved it. He had horses in the field a donkey and a couple of sheep which he loved to see every day. Pub just a walk over the bridge with good food. Owners just on the end of the phone if you needed anything . Lovely gesture with fruit, bubbly and biscuits awaiting us. Would highly recommend this property.
Many thanks for your feedback, really do appreciate it. So pleased you had a lovely time. Thanks again.
We had a lovely stay at Heather Cottage.
It was warm, cozy, and easy to find, with great amenities nearby. Our only minor comment would be regarding the flies. We understand there isn't much the property owner can do to mitigate the issue, but having a fly swatter in the cottage would help. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, really do appreciate it. Apologies about the flies, have picked one up. Thanks again.
Alison and David are a pleasure to meet and are very welcoming.
They are out to make your stay plush! Luxury hotel standard feel. Airy, bright, spotless and to a very high spec. Fully equipped, going the extra mile. Good base for the Lakes and beyond. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback we really do appreciate it. Hope to see you and your family again.
It was a fantastic holiday home with all facilities and comfort.
We stayed there for a couple of nights with my family and friends, which was remarkable. There was enough indoor and outdoor space for children, and they liked it a lot. I recommend that you consider having it as your holiday home.
Many thanks for your lovely feedback is much appreciated.
Our stay was amazing.
The hosts has not accommodated a house for renting, they have accommodated a house as for their own. All the small details added to the functionality of the house totally differentiate it on the market. Super clean, white snow towels, great location, amiability and helpfulness from the host at high standard. All I can say thank you for giving us the opportunity to step in your world. Amazing.
Thank you so much for your feedback. Very pleased that you found the cottage amazing.
Great stay for a group!
A very modern, clean cottage in a quiet area, can’t complain about anything. Nice touches with Prosecco and fruit there on arrival. Really good communication throughout the stay and easy check-in/out!
Many thanks for your review, it is very much appreciated. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Heather’s Cottage.
Beautiful house, had a lovely few days.
