This was a welcome haven! We live in a rural village so our holidays have to be something special and this cottage most certainly did! It is a great location for exploring locally with the dogs (just as well as the wether was mixed with low cloud on the tops…). Cockermouth with various supermarkets was only a 10mins drive to go foraging for food and drink. The cottage itself was gorgeous with recliner sofas, plenty of space and a large well appointed kitchen. The entrance/utility room was a welcome space to store dirty boots and rub down wet dogs. We did have to seal off the back yard to stop Mad Mabel (our Sprocker Spaniel) escaping.

We had a great time at the cottage and our boys loved that it was on a real working farm, watching all the tractors and other vehicles going in and out. The wifi was a little patchy but as we were out most of the time it wasn’t too big an issue for us. Overall, we had a lovely time and would thoroughly recommend.
