  • "A wonderfully appointed property."

    Not in the central Lakes area but only 30-40 mins from anywhere we visited. We walked around Ennerdale and Buttermere lakes, visited the Roman museum in Maryport, Cockermouth, Lattrigg Fell and Keswick. Dog friendly and cosy. Highly recommend.

    Thanks for the review and recommendation. We’re pleased that you had a good stay, and look forward to seeing you at some point in the future. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was exceptionally well fitted and everything worked really well."

    It had both radiators in all the rooms as well as a Wood burner. We love the location as it is close to the coast and reasonable driving distances to Keswick , the mountains and lakes. It was a quiet area and away from the touristy places. Amanda and Graeme were very helpful and gave us a lovely welcome gift including dog biscuits and had fresh flowers in the rooms.

    Thanks for the review! We'd be delighted to see you again at some point in the future. Property Owner

    After a long drive up from the Midlands, we had a very warm welcome from the owner on arrival. The cottage is beautiful with a lovely garden and was the perfect size for myself, my daughter and our two cairn terriers. It was very cosy and comfortable and equipped with everything we could possibly need for a self catering holiday. Fantastic location for visting the Lake District and the Cumbrian coast. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will definitely stay again.

  • "The cottage is really clean and cosy with everything we needed for our stay."

    One of the great things about the cottage is a truly amazing garden which my children loved playing in. In the end we had a disappointing holiday due to a car mishap which meant we couldn’t travel into the Lake District as we originally planned. Public transport would normally have been an option but we were reluctant because of Covid. The owners were really helpful and friendly, they found a walk we could do in the immediate area, offered to drive us into Keswick one day and found some outdoor toys to entertain the children in the garden. I would really recommend the cottage and if it wasn’t for the car mishap, I’m sure our holiday would have been great.
