    So lovely to wake up each morning to views from every window. Loved watching the sheep. We were made so welcome, certainly a place I would return to.

  • Stuart

    Also for visiting Keswick for shopping. Cottage clean and tidy and well appointed. Being a working farm expect sheep, dogs and quad bike noise starting around 07.10am.

  • Gill

    I never tired of my early morning walk with my dogs which began just across the road from the cottage, at times I almost felt I was walking amongst the clouds, stunning views. The owners were very welcoming and friendly, we will definitely be back. Just one thing, do not panic when your sat nav tells you that you have arrived at your destination, fortunately your accommodation is a little further along the road!
