Our stay at Apple Tree Cottage was thoroughly enjoyable. The property was very well looked after and immaculately clean. The owner who greeted us was friendly and pleasant and supplied us with a lovely welcome hamper. We loved the finishing touches such as a welcome note with our names written on the front door porch blackboard. It was a nice thought and made us feel special. Thank you. 😊👌

Fantastic hotel and fantastic surroundings. Excellent breakfast with perfect service. Everything was superb and we really recommend a stay here. Only problem was that we only booked one night. We would have liked to stay longer.

Lovely homely cottage in a beautiful area. Perfect for a family of 4 with good access to all of the Lake District. All of us including both our children (12) &(10) loved the cottage. It had everything you need amazing shower, brilliant kitchen that has everything and the fire place is fantastic for nice warm family nights inside after a long day walking. We ordered a Tesco delivery for the day we arrived which was a massive bonus. We will certainly be staying again next year!!

    The lodge and caravan park were very clean and tidy. There was everything you needed in the lodge including a welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits and cleaning stuff. It was cosy and the beds were super comfortable. The dog walking field and activity field were great too.

    Charming from the first moment, everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome throughout our stay. The food was outstanding (both dinner and breakfast), great selection of drinks in a cosy bar, spacious rooms & beautiful grounds. There’s a range of thoughtful little touches, like home-baked shortbread with the tea & coffee supplies in the room or starched linen napkins at dinner. And the same warm hospitality was extended to our small children. We were very impressed and look forward to returning.

    Excellent base for Keswick walking holiday. Booked last week in April which was peaceful. Lodge was a real home from home. Cosy despite a cold week but good for relaxing on decking when the sun did appear. Cleanliness and facilities impressive for this type of accommodation.
