Loved Upnover Cottage and its quirky layout. It is a great place to go back and relax in after a day of walking. Perfect location to spend bonfire night, much to the relief of our dogs. The welcome treats were very much appreciated.

A very comfortable and homely residence in a good location for a fine holiday. Very well equipped and spacious in every way except the bathroom which is compact and therefore functional rather than luxurious. We were five adults and three children and all very much enjoyed our stay.

This place is wonderful. Well appointed, comfy beds, lots of space, quirky layout and quiet. The village is lovely with lots of places to eat. The stuffed bread at the Wild Olive and the pies at the bakery were some of the best food we have eaten. Make sure you visit St Bees Beach and the Ravenglass railway. Only thing missing was an extra toilet, Read morewith 6 adults and a teenager, it wasn't ideal with just 1 bathroom. Hide

A lovely village in a great location. We walked just 2 minutes up the road for a lovely roast dinner. The cottage was really nice, amenities were great. We managed the 1 bathroom okay with 5 adults and a toddler but it might be a struggle if there's more of you. Beds were clean and comfy and the rooms spacious.
