Guests enjoy the farm setting, cosy atmosphere, and the property's proximity to local attractions.

The property is considered a good base for exploring the Lake District and is particularly noted for being dog-friendly.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests find the cottage clean and well-maintained, though a few noted issues with dampness and a musty smell. The majority of reviews, however, do not mention any significant cleanliness problems, suggesting that the property is generally kept in good condition.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, beautiful views, and proximity to both the coast and the mountains. It is considered an ideal base for exploring the Lake District, with many guests appreciating the rural farm setting.
Guests frequently compliment the comfortable bed and cosy atmosphere of the cottage. However, some mention that the space can be a bit tight, especially the en-suite facilities, and the seating could be more comfortable, which slightly affects the overall comfort score.
The facilities are generally seen as adequate, with mentions of a good shower and necessary kitchen appliances. Some guests suggest that the facilities could benefit from updating and that the compact nature of the cottage means cooking and living spaces are limited.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews. Therefore, while the hosts are noted to be friendly and welcoming, there is not enough information to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special amenities.

I think it might be challenging to cook for 2 but there are plenty of pubs a short drive away and its an easy walk to Ravenglass where there are several pubs that do food. Good base to explore the western lakes. This is on a working farm so that means animals, the noise didn't disturb me.

Cottage was nice & comfortable but could just do with a bit of maintenance & upgrading. One of the cupoard doors in the kitchen was missing & the small counter top cooker not really suitable even for one. It may be relatively modern but the last time I used one like that it was a "Baby Belling" over thirty years ago & if anything that was more efficient (or maybe I've got used to better over that time). There didn't seem to be any way of controling the hot plates. The batroom was vey small & had no heating but the water in the shower was nice & hot. Overall it was adequate especially as I was on my own, & I would definately consider staying there again. It was nice to see the variety of free range chickens & cockerels & the goats. Just bear in mind that the goats will just walk into the cottage if you leave the door open & cockerels don't just crow in the mornings. They also crow throughout the night. But then it is the countryside & only to be expected.

The electric heater well supported the central heating . It was cold outside but access via car to the start of good lake district walks and coastal walks was ideal for us hikers. I appreciated the busyness of Mike the farmer and enjoyed talking about farming with him as l used to be a farm worker many years ago. The cockerals can be noisy at times but after all it is a farm. We had a relaxing energetic holiday from a comfortable cottage in the height of winter.
