We loved everything about the property: the cleanliness, the location, the size, and the facilities.

Also, the 4G is generally really poor in and around the Lakes but it was absolutely exceptional at this place.

Absolutely amazing house! 12 family members aging from 6 - 84 stayed here. Kids loved the huge, well stocked playroom. Hot tub was out of this world! 7 bedrooms meant 4 couples had their own room, 2 smaller children could go in the bunk room, and the older children had their own rooms too, meaning no falling out! All had their own ensuite. Rooms dotted around the house, so grandparents had a quite bedroom to disappear to! House was exceptionally clean, tidy and well maintained. Private gated drive, plenty big enough for our 3 large cars. We had contact details for the owner and could call at any time if needed.

    It was a lovely cosy lodge & warmed straight up once the log burner was on. Spacious & had everything we needed for the night. I ended up taking my newborn & the next to me crib fit perfectly in the double room & I even got to give her her bath as well. I would definitely go back & the host answered any questions straight away.

    We liked the fantastic hosts and exceptional welcome pack, the fabulous cottage is beautiful and clean, and very well equipped with lots of attention to detail. The setting is lovely, close enough to Carlisle for access to shops and restaurants, but far enough out to be able to appreciate the countryside and village life. We had a fantastic stay.

    Graham and Gary have created a fantastic home from home relaxing, cosy retreat. Equipped with everything you need and to the highest standard. Quickly responded to a request for more towels. Situated in a secluded area in thier grounds with a view of the birds. Hootie was my favourite. Hot tub warm and felt private even though visitors were at the centre you never felt looked upon. Will definitely be back. Thankyou.
