Appleby-in-Westmorland is in a loop of the River Eden and overlooks the North Pennines and Lake District Fells. Set in the lovely Eden Valley, this was historically Westmorland's county town. Appleby is set between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, so visitors can enjoy varied views, walking and cycling, and a superb leisure centre. Appleby's stores, cafes, and delicatessens sell locally made food and crafts. Boroughgate, with its old structures, joins the well-preserved Norman Castle with the mediaeval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a key stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, one of the most attractive in Britain. Many antique steam trains still travel this line and over the Ribblehead viaduct. This holiday destination is near Ullswater and the Lake District.

Very comfortable and kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Only one thing we found was the TV is way to small. Could really do with a larger one for the size of the living area. Would recommend this cottage.

Donna called me a few days before to see if we had any questions or needed anything etc. Upon arrival we instantly fell in love with the cottage. With a teenager, two babies and a dog we sometimes struggle to find a cottage that has everything we need and that caters for everyone. This was not the case here in any way shape or form. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The cottage was immaculate and was extremely comfortable. It really did feel like a home from home. Our youngest unfortunately became ill whilst we were here (apologies to the neighbours for the upset crying in the middle of the night!) but because the cottage was so lovely it helped us to keep her as comfortable as possible while she got better. We are already looking at dates for us to stay again. Thank you for the special touches Donna and the presents under the tree. Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed at all. We cannot wait to stay at Rainbow cottage again. X

The house was spotlessly clean and very nicely presented. The location is great, the village has a brilliant play park and we enjoyed the food at the pub. We found it a great base to explore the local area. Things we loved: gorgeous views, well equipped kitchen, nice open living space, ample bathrooms, very quiet, high chair and childrenâs utensils were really handy. Things Iâd improve: The towels provided are tiny! Almost like large hand towels, some bath sheets would be a nice addition. The wifi was very slow and the reach of the router very poor, could do with a better quality router box. We all hurt our shins on the very sharp edges of the wooden bed frames! Furniture while nice quality, is a bit bulky and cumbersome in the smaller rooms. Wouldâve preferred a simple chest of drawers and some hanging hooks in bedroom 2 so there couldâve been a bit more space for 2 adults to move around. Overall we had a great week and we would definitely stay again. Thanks for having us!
