I cannot recommend this place enough, the house was beautiful, and had everything we could ever need on our stay. Myself, my girlfriend and our 7 month staffy stayed for 4 night. The dog absolutely loved the gas fire as well as the walks we were able to take her on. She didnt want to get out the car when she got home because she wanted to go back .Read more Hide

Me and my husband stayed here for our mini-moon and its a beautiful little cottage, very quiet village with lovely scenic walks. The garden is huge and our dog had so much fun running around and exploring! The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. Not too far away from Keswick and Cockermouth too so plenty to do if the weather behaves! Thank yoRead moreu for a lovely relaxing stay and we even got a little congratulations present from the owner! Couldnt have done more for us! Very nice. Hide

The cottage was clean and tidy , had everything we needed and bed comfortable, how ever due to new tenants moving in above the cottage a week earlier we experienced a lot of noise of banging , thumping , running above us . Reported this to the company and owners as we felt this was unacceptable and was offered a small compensation amount , however Read moreduring the whole week the noise continued. This property is not suitable as a holiday let due to this problem , the worst experience weve ever had . Hide
