"I can't sing its praises enough! Me and my friend had a wonderful stay here - it's such a relaxing place, really comfortable, with incredible views from the isolated garden that show off the valley and steam railway below and has everything you need. The area around the cottage is lovely and you can enjoy many beautiful walks without ever needing to get in your car. But the cottage is also a great base if you did want to travel further a field and explore more of the Lake District. The owner, Barbara, was really lovely too - she met us when we arrived and gave us a little tour of the cottage and showed us all the facilities it boasted (including a multi-fuel fire place which we used often) - she even left us a few goodies (including milk, which we were incredibly grateful for after a six hour drive as we desperately required lots of tea! ;) ) In short, the cottage was fantastic and a perfect base for exploring the area and the owner is a wonderful lady who couldn't do enough to make our stay perfect. Brilliant all round."

"The location for us was perfect as the views from the garden and comfort of the cottage made for a very pleasant experience. The summer house in the terraced garden was an added bonus. We particularly liked the iron stove log fire with ample supply of fuel which made our stay very snug & cozy. A car is a must due to the cottage being located on a very steeep hillside. I could invisage risky conditions in the event of ice, as the road can be extremely wet after rain for a number of days as drainage is fast flowing down the steep road for couple of hundred metres until finding drains. Nonetheless with a car the location is ideal and as long as care is taken the cottage would be extremely cozy in winter. Thank you for providing your home for us to experience a lovely holiday. We would definitely like to return."

"Myself and my husband stayed here in September 2016. It was beautiful a great location to access the lakes we visited so many that we needed another holiday, the cottage was well equipped like home from home lovely and clean and warm, we watched the birds from the kitchen in the mornings. We lit the fire in the evenings, super cosy. The bed was really comfy with lovely bedding. The garden was beautiful with far stretching views there was a Booths supermarket a 10 min drive down the road. We had excellent weather during our stay very lucky. The host Barbara was lovely and knowledgeable there were a great selection of guides in the cottage (great for lake district first timers)."

"Spent an unforgettable week, starting with the lovely owners who were very welcoming and helpful, even giving us a bottle of bubbly to help us relax! The house was great, two very comfortable bedrooms with fantastic views, a comfortable sitting room with a working fireplace, logs supplied! Great kitchen and bathroom with absolutely everything thought of. The garden was very pretty with fantastic views across the valley, could see the steam train going up and down, and the sunsets! The cottage was central in a great location, good walking all around, and a short drive from lots of lovely places; we loved it all."
