Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously describe the cottage as immaculately clean, with several emphasising the freshness and tidiness upon arrival. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The location is praised for its peacefulness and proximity to the Lake District, Pennines, and Scotland. While some guests mention the remoteness requires driving to attractions, the quiet farm setting is seen as an advantage by most.
The cottage is frequently described as cosy, warm, and homely, with a comfortable bed and a log burner for relaxation. A few guests mention the softness of the mattress and pillows as a personal preference rather than a widespread issue.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the kitchen being self-sufficient and the bathroom praised for its large bath. Some guests suggest improvements such as more storage space and a washing machine, but overall, the amenities meet guests' needs.
The welcome packs are a highlight for many guests, who appreciate the thoughtful gesture. It is noted, however, that such gifts, while common, should not be expected with every stay as they are subject to the owners' discretion.

The place is very peaceful, but still we've managed to explore Lake District and visit the most interesting places like Honister Slate Mine, Keswick, Windermere, St Bees and Carlisle. It's a working farm, but we couldn't really hear any noise. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The bed is comfy and having a hot bath after long walks is a bonus
