The cottage's quiet, rural setting next to a farm is appreciated for its tranquility and scenic beauty. Its proximity to local attractions and the sea is also noted, although some mention poor mobile signal.
The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable, with well-equipped kitchens and comfy beds. However, some guests found the stairs steep and the beds a bit too firm.

Originally a 13th Century Benedictine nunnery Seaton Hall was demolished by Henry viii under the dissolution of the monasteries and rebuilt in the 16th Century. One gable end of the monastery survives to this day and is a scheduled ancient monument. There are footpaths through the grounds to walk the dog, with more great walking in Eskdale and Wasdale. Within a two mile radius you will discover Bootle village, with shop, Millstones cafe, The Brown Cow pub and a sand and shingle beach. Local visitor attractions include ’La’al Ratty’ miniature railway, Muncaster Castle, a wildlife Park and Hodbarrow Nature Reserve.
