A beautiful and peaceful place if that’s what you want, with fantastic views across the fields, which include sheep. There are House Martins which nest in the eves and are fantastic to watch them flying. The nearest small shop is four miles away, with limited supplies and opening times. The owner ( Alan ) was very welcoming, friendly and very helpful. You are quite a way from the actual lakes, however they are easy to get to and the towns have all you need if you need lots of supplies. We will definitely be visiting again.

We had a lovely week at Daleside Farm. Very chilled and quiet location. The cottage had everything we needed for a self catering holiday. We were comfortable and cosy. Careful consideration is given to both the outside and inside of the cottages with beautiful planters and hanging baskets and cut flowers too. The herdwicks, house martens (?) and friendly black cat brightened our days also. Did a couple of short hikes (gently returning to fell walking after 18 years) Sale Fell and Dodd Summit which were straightforward to way-find, safe and not too challenging physically. Spent time at Bassenthwaite Sailing Club, always good. Car charging and shopping in Keswick. Happy Days.'Fire up the Quattro'
