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.

Beautiful, peaceful setting. Perfect for our labrador, who enjoyed swimming in the river each day. Cottage was very well equipped and the owners brought more logs for the fire mid week.

We enjoyed the most wonderful stay at Well Tree Cottage. The cottage is set in a beautiful location and is immaculately presented with every home comfort you could wish for. We've stayed in a number of cottages across the UK and Well Tree Cottage is in our opinion one of the best. The area is great for walking with public footpaths on thRead moree doorstep. There is a lovely pub in the village which makes delicious food and the surrounding villages have several other options too if you don't fancy cooking. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely be going back. Hide
