“Fantastic stay. The cottage is even more stunning in real life. The bedrooms are huge and the whole place is decorated beautifully. Really recommend it! So many thoughtful touches to make you feel welcome. Thank you for having us.”
“We had a very warm welcome when we arrived after a long drive up and it was very much appreciated, using what three words made it easy to find.
It is a beautifully private cottage with views over the countryside, but still not too far a drive from local pubs and amenities.
The house is very well equipped with everything you need for a peaceful break away, all of the little details have been thought of in the kitchen and plenty of books and leaflets to look through of things to do in the local area.
The beds were incredibly comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! If you are looking for peace and quiet then this is a perfect spot!

“Fabulous stay in a lovely peaceful lcaotion, great courtyard - perfect for a mixed group of family/friends of all ages, great space and handy to have two kitchens. We booked both cottages for a long weekend and it was ideal. We enjoyed the open fire, visits with the horses and exploring the area. Extremely handy that Penrith is a short drive away for stocking up! Look forward to returning at some point!”
