Fabulous, character-full building (with oak beams and stone walls galore) with a really lovely and well-maintained shared garden in a wonderful setting for exploring the Northern Fells. The inside of the hayloft is however a bit tired - perfectly fine, but stains on the carpet, bathroom flooring not quite covering the whole floor, rug strategicallyRead more placed to cover cables and a mattress that has seen better days. I still had a wonderful holiday though! Hide

Stunning property, Stunning location , very friendly owner. Perfect base to travel anywhere in the lake district and right next to Bowscale tarn which was wonderful. Very dog friendly, our cottage ( Hayloft) even had a window at dog level which our pointer loved. Surrounded by natural beauty and breathtaking scenery. Great amenities at the propertyRead more.

Lovely place for a short break - not fancy but cosy, functional and everything you need, plus close to great walking. Owner Jim is friendly and helpful. Views from cottage are fabulous, gardens are pretty and wild bunnies too! Didn't try local pub but will save that for a return visit, plus another walk up Blencathra, this time starting from MungriRead moresdale. Hide

Really nice flat. You can sometimes hear people in the other accommodation, but I didn't find it a problem. Nicely furnished and fabulous setting and garden. Nice to feel away from it all, being more remote.

Fabulous holiday in a great location so we were able to walk out from the door with our dog. Friendly family owners. Cottage had everything we needed but was basic. But that's all we needed and it was great value for money.

A great location for walking. I didnt get in my car at all after arriving and I walked every day.

The Hayloft Studio at Mosedale was a highlight of our stay in the Lake District. It was in a great location.

How often does your dog get their own window at floor level to watch the wildlife and soak up the sun in?? Wonderful touch to a lovely property. The shared garden with the stream and pond in was secure to allow the dog off the lead too. Both great reasons alone to visit here. Beautiful location, nice having a porch area with heater to clean the dogRead more too. Bed was really comfy, living room area was great, big enough back room too. No complaints at all Hide
