Guests say
Garburn View is a beautifully situated cottage offering breathtaking views across the Kentmere Valley, perfect for those seeking peace, quiet, and direct access to scenic walks. Guests consistently praise its cosy, well-equipped interior and the warm, welcoming host. The remote location ensures tranquillity, though it requires a drive along a single-track road and is some distance from shops and pubs. The cottage is clean, comfortable, and ideal for walkers, with only minor issues such as the occasional missed cleaning detail or lack of certain amenities. Overall, guests express a strong desire to return.
Most guests found the cottage clean, cosy, and well maintained, with only one mention of an oven needing attention. The overall impression is of a tidy and inviting property.
The location is highly praised for its stunning, peaceful views and excellent walking opportunities. Its remoteness is a positive for most, though some note the narrow access road and distance from amenities.
Guests frequently mention comfortable beds, sofas, and a cosy atmosphere, enhanced by features like a log burner. The cottage is described as homely and restful.
The cottage is well equipped, with good quality kitchen equipment, smart TV, and excellent WiFi. Some guests noted the absence of a dishwasher, towels, and hairdryer, but these were minor issues.
The host is repeatedly described as welcoming, helpful, and accommodating, even assisting with EV charging. While guests felt well looked after, there is no mention of gifts, so these cannot be guaranteed.

Lovely area. In the middle of nowhere. However we didnt realise there were 15 steps going up to the property & my husband is on oxygen. Owner friendly. Views fabulous.
