Earsdon Cottage had a really warm and welcoming vibe and we thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay there. It was clean and well equipped, and we made full use of it as a base to explore the Lake District. We would definitely recommend it as a charming and comfortable holiday home, with the added bonus of being pet-friendly!

A fantastic accommodation in a quiet village within easy reach of the Northern Lake District and also the Solway Coast. We had a great time and felt at home in Earsden cottage.
