We had to park a short distance from the cottage on the road. When we arrived, it was dark, which made the entrance to the cottage a little difficult to find. However, Helen had issued us with detailed instructions which helped enormously.

The cottage was pretty, tastefully decorated and furnished and very well equipped. As soon as we walked into the cottage, we felt that there was a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, a real home from home. Communication with the host, Helen was excellent and replies were very prompt. We had mentioned that we would be celebrating our anniversary during our stay, so we were welcomed with a bottle of Prosecco, as well as tea, coffee and biscuits! The log burner was an added bonus and very easy to use. The shower in the bathroom worked very well. The cottage was deceptively spacious as well as feeling cosy and welcoming. The cottage was located in a small village near Tirril and Eaumont Bridge, not too far from Penrith. It was an ideal location for us to travel to Penrith and also to Keswick and the surrounding area. We catered for ourselves, but there were a number of pubs in neighbouring villages that provide good value meals. Helen the owner was really friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble! We would definitely stay at the cottage again!

The steps going up to the garden were a little bit precarious. We had 6 people staying and there were only 4 dining room chairs but it wasn't a big problem.

The location was great. The cottage was very clean and exactly as described, the kitchen was small but had everything we needed to cook. The beds were so comfortable including the sofa bed. The hosts were helpful and easy to contact. It felt like staying in someone!s home. Thanks.

It would have been good to have the 1st night’s firewood supplied as described in cottage information.

Good location on edge of Lakes District. Loved the wood fire & under floor heating. Very quaint & nicely decorated.

Happy with everything.

A stunning little cottage close to everything we wanted to see in the area. Gorgeous bedrooms, just the right size for myself and two teens. Large living/dining area and well-stocked kitchen. Great facilities and even a little garden to sit in. Nothing was too much trouble for Helen and Simon and we have already booked for a return visit next year. Highly recommended!

Beautiful cottage in a friendly, peaceful village. Clean, new kitchen appliances. Good for families (play park and lots of farm animals around the corner). Rural, but close to Penrith and lots of attractions in the North Lakes.

The cottage is only a 10 minute drive from Penrith. It's in a quiet area and there's a really nice pub down the road. The beds are very comfortable, and the cottage is very cosy. Gavin and Wendy are very helpful. Would love to stay again.

The garden at the back is shared with others as you pass through to access the one for the cottage. Our dogs were small and the neighbours at the end had left the gate open. Just to be aware if you’re planning on taking a small dog that it’s not fully gated off.

Great location for exploring the eastern lakes. Very clean, good facilities.

Limited outside space at the rear which was open so dogs need to stay on lead. Intermittent poor signal on tv ( probably the bad weather )

Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Lovely and quiet. Didn’t hear any noise all weekend. Efficient central heating and cosy log burner. Plenty of hot water. The cottage was lovely and warm during despite it being a cold weekend. Comfy beds, nice medium firm mattresses. Bedding and towels were clean and fresh. Parking on the road nearby or straight across the road on the junction. Lovely helpful owners who answered a couple of queries quickly. Gorgeous powerful shower. Dog friendly ( £10 extra for cleaning ) with dog bowls and towels provided.

The property was lovely. The only dislikes were minor. The beds are small, so not for plus-sized families. The smaller beds have quite narrow duvets, which slide off, so you have to ensure they are tucked in securely at the wall or you're fighting the duvet all night. They only thing that wasn't perfect was the really powerful smell of kerosene. I'm not sure where it was coming from, but the upper floors smelled of it very strongly. It's noticeable on the lower floors as well, but at night it was very noticeable upstairs, so leave a window open to air the rooms out!

The cottage is in a lovely quiet location. At this time of year it was very quiet with few of the rental cottages in use. Parking was good, but I felt a little strange leaving the car parked in an intersection, so parked at the 'alternate' location which was very close. The cottage was extremely clean, and very well appointed. WiFi is a must-have since 4g was very patchy, so we appreciated that the property offered it. The kitchen is great. Everything you need, with a good sized fridge, oven and microwave. Lots of bowls! You won't run out of bowls, that's for sure :) ha ha The rooms are very small, but perfect for the 2+2 family of small kids.

Very comfortable cottage in a pretty location. The hosts were very easy to get hold of and they even supplied us with a few extra provisions for the morning, as we couldn't get to the shops immediately.

A charming little cottage with everything we could wish for to make our stay comfortable. Clear and thorough communications from the owners ahead of our stay were helpful and apprecuated.

Nothing not to like. Only slight disappointment was that it wasn’t cold enough to warrant lighting the log burner - can’t really blame the cottage for that though!

Very comfortable and clean, very cosy for a short autumnal break. Found the locals were very friendly and chatty too. Would definitely book again.

A very comfortable quiet cottage in a great location. Easy access to Ullswater and surrounding areas and walking distance to the Queens Head pub for a very nice meal. Good information from the owner for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the bottle of wine left for us was put to very good use. Thank you.
