Great little house, very cosy. Kitchen was really well appointed with lots of pots/pans etc along with some tea and coffee etc. The shower was fantastic!! Ideal spot to base ourselves for a few days

We loved our stay in Threlkeld - the cottage is lovely, comfortable beds and nice views and surroundings. Location is perfect - just a stroll to the pubs, and a great setting-off point for the fells. The only complaint we have is that we found the check-in/out times a bit ungenerous (the times are also listed differently acros different materials and mesages) and the communication from the company was quite impersonal, a bit curt.
