The cottage is clean, bright and spacious in a very quiet village with west-facing views from the rear and patio across miles of open countryside which afforded us many gorgeous sunsets over the Solway Firth in the distance.
Its remote location is ideal for peace and quiet whilst still offering easy and relatively short drives to many lovely places such as Cockermouth and Keswick. We do want to make some suggestions that we believe would benefit future guests. A 'welcome pack' upon arrival, containing a few basics (especially milk) is always a good thing. There are two wardrobes which, between them, need many more than the six hangers we were provided with. Include hairdryer in the description. Before arrival, we were unsure if one would be available (there was) so we phoned Sykes to ask but they did not get back to us as promised. There were just a couple of wall-mounted mirrors and no bedroom chairs to sit on. A dressing table and / or a movable mirror positioned near to a socket with a small stool to sit on would be most welcome. We stayed during a hot week in June and would have welcomed some lightweight bedding / blankets as the duvets were far too warm. Please add a cradle / basket in the shower cubicle to hold soap / shampoo etc. For basic domestic tasks please provide some tea towels, clothes washing powder / detergent plus pegs for the clothes line - which would also benefit from being raised at one end to prevent longer items trailing on the ground. On a number of evenings we were shocked when the owners appeared unexpectedly in the garden and right outside the windows. It was a June heatwave when we stayed, and we understand that there was a need to water the plants, but a prearranged time or a knock at the door would have been the correct way to do this. We felt our privacy was invaded. The description also needs updating in regards to the The Last Man Inn pub next door which (at the time of writing) is only serving drinks, not food. The directions provided by Sykes would also be much improved, and save visitors time, if they stated that the cottage is immediately next door to it. This feedback may seem to be weighted towards the things we found wanting (hopefully to be taken as constructive feedback, not outright criticism) but overall the cottage is a fine place to take a restful and tranquil holiday in a clean and comfortable cottage.

Lovely property.
Very well maintained, it looked very new, absolute nothing was worn or grubby. So impressed with all of the amenities. The bottle of wine and cake that were left for us were particularly appreciated. The thing that put this so high in my estimation was the the cleanliness and attention to detail. Whoever is in charge of housekeeping/cleaning are an absolute credit to themselves! Three bedrooms and three bathrooms made life so much easier than trying to share. One thing that might be a small problem to anyone with a large dog is that there isnât a garden as such, thereâs a small patio area at the front of the property. Our dog is very small so it was fine for us. There are lots of walks in the immediate vicinity though. The Stag Inn is a couple of miles away and serves very good food, we ate there every evening. Reasonably priced and a huge selection of gins and whiskeys. lovely staff. We didnât find anywhere else close by that served food. There is a well stocked Co-op in Prospect but the nearest larger supermarket seemed to be Lidl in Wigton. The property is about 75 minutes north of Lake Windermere.Itâs in a convenient place for Carlisle or areas further North. If I ever returned to this area I would definitely stay again.

This is the best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in.
It is warm, cosy and like being at home but much better! Very helpful owner too! Allonby is a gorgeous little village. Not a lot there but the beach and the cafe make up for that. The only dog friendly pub wasn't doing food while we were there and I was gutted that the wonderful chippy had closed. Silloth has a great dog friendly cafe - think it's called the Fairy Cafe and serves lovely food and marvelous cake. Keswick is always a good day out. It is very dog friendly. There is an Indian restaurant in Maryport that delivers for a very reasonable price and food is hot and very tasty. We had a lovely time even though the weather wasn't the best. Thank you Fiona for making the house so warm and welcoming. I didn't want to leave!

Myself, my husband and my 2 daughters had a great time in this property.
When we got there after a long journey we found some drinks, food to get us going for the evening, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. The house was very clean and welcoming. Bedding and towels were soft and cosy. I loved the thing that the landlady left a note on the fridge and all the handwritten recommendations on her visitors book. I wished we could stay there longer. Although it was the end of October, we loved walking along the sandy beach and scribbling on the sand. We were lucky to see the sunset, too. We drove about 45 minutes to Keswick and about 1 hour to Grasmere/ Windermere for wonderful views and plenty of activities. We had a great experience and really enjoyed the property

Lovely bungalow, clean with a home from home feeling.
Would only suggest for the future to mention there is no onsite parking but ample street parking, might be an ideal to get a nest of tables for the lounge should you be seated at far end on the other 2 sofas and a shower unit to store toiletries within the shower area would be great. Few extra kitchen utensils like scissors and cooking tongs would be welcomed. Bungalow had lovely patio area with great views afar. Owner came up for a chat and to introduce himself, very polite and welcoming. We will certainly be booking again next year. Property very clean. Thanks
