Great location, clean, well equipped and comfortable cottage. Would recommend as a base for walking holidays. Access is not straightforward and would not be appropriate for anyone with mobility difficulties. Will definitely book again.

Cottage was clean and in a wonderful location. It was well equipped. The front door needs some attention to get it to open and shut properly.

Lovely cottage in excellent location for walkers and fresh air worshippers. Very well decorated and equipped and would recommend as a generally tranquil base to stay. Idyllic location with far reaching views with Glenridding village 10 to 15 mins walk away.

Lovely property with everything we needed for our stay. Beautifully renovated, modern and clean. The property is in a great location for exploring the lakes. The track up to the house becomes very narrow, so if you have a larger car you would need to be careful.

We stayed in a group of three adults for a walking holiday. The cottage was warm and dry with lots of hot water. Kitchen utensils were good, we had everything we needed, and the beds and sofa were comfy. We parked two cars in the designated parking area with no problems. The cottage is accessed by a rough track for the last 1/5 mile, the track is fRead moreine for cars so long as you take it steady. It's worth pointing out that to get to the cottage you have to walk up a steep track from the parking area Hide

This cottage offered me everything I could hope for, wonderful views, beautifully renovated cottage (I liked its quiet and tasteful simplicity), and an easy walk to the shops and pub and cafes. As a single older female on holiday, I felt safe to be a bit off the beaten track as there are other cottages around, and loved the range of walks availableRead more from the door. I cant recommend highly enough and I hope to return very soon. Thank you to the owners for sharing this special place. Hide
