Well where do i start.
The most lovely of setting. In a quite area but close to so many places that are a must to see in the wonderful Lakes. I have looked back over many other reviews and it is very obvious that no one takes any notice what guest are telling you. Some of the issues i had other guest had back in 2016. The cottage is great for a base but you do need to address the fact it needs an update. The settee is very uncomfortable so much so i sat on the floor. You need to put the tiny TV back into the dolls house and get a decent size one. It was clean enough but i can see why other guest have complained. You really do need to put a mirror at the end of your drive it is not safe pulling out onto the road. The walled garden was a real treat, thank god i could use it as the whole week was completely ruined due to the fact the whole of the complex was hired out to a film company filming a Bollywood Film. I did not need an alarm clock as i was woken up at 6am every morning and again gone 11pm, I know the owner spoke to them but with around 30 people staying there there was no way it was going to be a good break. The smell from the chefs cooking was not good, filling the cottage all day, every day. There were black bags of food open in the yard and being enjoyed each day by the wildlife. I did get a part refund but still came home very stressed. You have one hell of a gem if you could only made the most of it. It was a bonus that the sun was out all week so i could go out as much as possible. Sykes sorry being told my only option was take the refund and go home was not really what i wanted to hear. This holiday was booked for a year. The film crew booked a few weeks.

Stayed at The Bothy as a women and her dog, wanting an escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
Wow! Did this place deliver in spades. The cottage is amazing. Quirky. Packed with character. Very well equipped and immaculately clean. Mark and Jo are super hosts. Genuinely one of the nicest couples Iâve met. Whilst they live on site, I never saw them (except arrival and departure) but it was great to know they were there if needed. The scone and fresh eggs on arrival were very welcome too - thank you! Now locationâ¦. This cottage is on a hillside in heaven! The views from The Bothy are incredible but there are also so many walks straight from the door and a variety too! Whether you want 1 mile to 50 mile, riverside or moorland, the one thing you can be sure of, is the area has it all. I parked the car up on arrival and it didnât move again til I left. I walked a total of over 45 miles during the week and never did the same walk twice! Not only that but I reckon I didnât see more than a dozen people throughout the entire weeks walks!!! Having said that this has to be one of the friendliest places Iâve ever been. Every single person I met was absolutely lovely Nenthead (under a mile away) has a local shop and fabulous cafe (the Hive) and the mine is a great visit. Hopefully the local pub will reopen soon. Alston (3.8 miles) has a variety of shops with a couple of pubs/restaurants. Issac Tea Trail literally runs from The Bothy but honestly this whole area is a walkers paradise. For anyone whoâs thinking of bookingâ¦. Do it! You wonât be disappointed!!! I canât wait to return for New Year and this time Iâm taking dog and hubby!

We had a lovely stay except for the last night when we did not get to sleep until past 4 am.
I think it would be worth informing future guests that the cottage is one small part of a larger development which is set up for large groups. The place was ideal for us & our very nervous rescue dog until the Friday. On the Friday groups of men began to arrive throughout the afternoon & evening until there were 25+. A huge amount of alcohol was piled up on a table in the quad outside our back window & some of the men began to drink on arrival. They used the large barn for their entertainment and were continually on the move between the big house & the barn all night. Being 2 women in this sort of situation was unsettling as we are aware a large number of men together with huge amounts of alcohol can be unpleasant. As it turned out the men did not bother us ( we had drawn all the curtains & locked the door) but we were on high alert all evening as the noise level & movement grew and it spoiled our last evening. I think it is important that guests are informed about issues like this before they book. Had we known that a large male only group was booked in we would not have stayed & it has certainly put us off going back there again. I hope you understand our issue with this. We did not feel safe & although the men were simply enjoying themselves we were on edge.

The Bothy is an absolute gem, a comfortable place to come back to after a day out walking in the hills, a fabulous location and made to feel very welcome by Mark and Jo.
The eggs and scones were all appreciated, and it was lovely to enjoy breakfast hoping the red squirrel would visit the bird feeder (other than one day it was there everyday!). No matter the mixed weather, and other than one day's short trip into Alston,the car stayed parked, as the walks out were fantastic and in fact a reason I am already looking forward to coming back as there are still more to enjoy. For me a magical part of the stay was to be in the hills seeing and hearing the curlews, seeing curlew chicks on the ground, and providing memories of long ago holidays, lovely to see them again. The Bothy gave me the relaxing yet fun filled break I was hoping for, in a part of England I had not appreciated is truly magical, and somewhere I was made to feel truly welcome. Once again, thanks Mark and Jo and hope to be back again very soon!

The setting and location certainly had the wow factor.
Stunning scenery and the walled garden was amazing, we loved working out all the different flowers there. Lots of seating around the garden to enjoy the views and peaceful atmosphere. The accommodation was good, the super king size bed very comfy, loved the little balcony. Overall the cottage had everything we needed and we had a lovely holiday. A couple of minor things (this didn't change our enjoyment of the cottage but feel need a mention). Some more comfy chairs would have been nice if there longer than a week as not very comfortable for a cosy evening in front of the fire/tv. As previously mentioned by others a mirror at the end of the drive would be good to help getting out safely but it is a fairly quiet road and you just needed to be cautious pulling out.
