I cannot describe how lovely this cottage and its location are, it is like a postcard. Sometimes I just caught myself staring at the cottage and surroundings and thinking how lucky I was to be there. I like to go on holiday to different places each year, but this is the first place my partner and I agreed we would love to come back to. For those Read morewith very young children there is a public footpath running across the front outside the garden wall, it's not busy at all and everyone I saw gave me a friendly hello and left me to it. If your kid is a good climber I imagine they can get over the wall and there is a fairly decent drop to the river, so just something to be mindful of. I wouldn't let that put you off, as you'd be missing out if you didn't stay here. Hide

Amazing stay in May! Super comfortable bedding and fantastic showers/bath and wood burner. Can't fault the place. For anyone with a dog that could get over an approx 3 foot wall or is reactive/an escape artist I wouldn't say the garden would be secure especially with other dog walkers going past the front of the house though irregularly.

Beautifully situated and appointed cottage. Utterly tranquil with riverside walks from the door and a short hop to the lakes and Appleby made for a varied weeks walking. 10/10 for comfort too.

The cottage, the area & the weather by far exceeded our expectations.Wherever you looked around interior of the cottage you see nothing but the highest specifications & attention to detail. The walks by the river were a joy, both for us and Fennel our Labrador who very nearly left with webbed feet.The Eden Valley was an undiscovered area in for us Read morethe UK and we reluctantly, left for home with many happy memories form our stay.

This is a lovely cottage with all mod cons. We had a lovely week here and our host left roses and a bottle of wine for us on arrival - a very kind gesture. The house is in a lovely setting with lots of walks nearby and a pub ten minutes walk away. Can highly recommend it.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. As soon as we pulled up outside we were impressed and it just got better and better. Having a woodland walk literally on the doorstep was perfect for our two dogs and our two and a half year old grandson loved throwing stones in the river.
