Lovely cottage
The cottage is very attractive - it is cosy, spacious and welcoming. The views from the cottage are also stunning. There's plenty of scenic areas nearby the cottage that are great to discover and walk around. It's also an ideal base for visits to the numerous towns and attractions within the Lakes. The hosts are friendly and helpful as well.

Perfect
We stayed here last year and came back for this summer also. It’s a peaceful and beautiful location, the cottage is clean and has all you need. A good couple of nights sleep after dog walks around the lake was a great end to our trip up north 😊 5* thank you

Peaceful short stay
We used this cute little cottage as a stop off on the way to Scotland. Loved the views from the garden and having breakfast on the terrace while watching the sheep with their lambs. Close enough to Keswick for amenities but far enough away to be very peaceful and quiet.

Lovely and remote!
Nestled down a lane is the farmhouse with cottage, it's very remote and great for exploring on foot and via car. The place is well managed, comfy and has all the cottage quirks which we loved. We would visit again for sure.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay, the house was really clean and as described. Perfect for a few nights away with our pup. The house has everything we needed and Matthew was friendly and helpful with questions. The property is in a great location, private enough but within a short drive of the centre of Keswick. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic getaway
Lovely cottage in a remote, quiet location. Fantastic views as you drink your morning coffee with the only noise being bees and sheep. Would definitely recommend.
