Guests say
Gable View is a cosy, well-equipped cottage set on a welcoming working farm with stunning views of the Lake District. Guests consistently praise the friendly hosts, peaceful atmosphere, and excellent location for exploring both the fells and coast. The cottage is compact but comfortable, ideal for solo travellers or couples, and dog-friendly. While most reviews highlight cleanliness and comfort, a few mention minor maintenance issues and occasional farmyard noise. Overall, visitors enjoy the authentic rural experience and often return for repeat stays.
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, with fresh bedding and towels provided. However, a small number of reviews mention issues such as a musty smell, cobwebs, and occasional sightings of rats outside, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, tranquillity, and proximity to both the Lake District fells and the coast. Guests appreciate the easy access to walks and local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
The cottage is described as cosy and homely, with a particularly comfortable bed frequently mentioned. Some guests note the compact size and small en-suite, but overall comfort is rated highly, especially for solo travellers or couples.
Facilities are generally adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, and heating. Some guests mention the small size of the oven and en-suite, and minor maintenance issues such as missing cupboard doors, but most found everything needed for a pleasant stay.
The hosts are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful, often taking time to chat with guests. However, there are no consistent mentions of welcome gifts or extras, and one guest noted the absence of basic provisions on arrival. Please note that gifts or extras are not guaranteed.

It's compact and cosy, the owners are friendly and helpful, the scenery is beautiful, the location perfect for us. We love the walks from the door and the numerous places to visit, just a short drive away.

Tried to contact you without success to explain the circumstance and ask if we could transfer to a later time. Not happy at all. Lost holiday.
