  Combe Cottage was a great place for what we paid.

  I was central for lots of places such as the Lakes, the beaches and the Miner's Arms was two doors away. It was really clean and decorated well. The beds were comfortable apart from the second bedroom which was only really suitable for children as the beds were quite small. The kitchen is tiny and has no worktop space, even to wash up and drain. In fairness though there is a dishwasher. The parking could be an issue in busy times as the neighbours tend to hog the space. You either have to park down the road outside someone else's house or, if you are friendly, ask the pub if you can park on their car park. The neighbours do not appear to want to converse. The highlight for us was the lovely people around here. Silecroft is a small hamlet and most people are really friendly. The Miner's Arms is a lovely place to make friends and Ryan and his Dad were very welcoming. It's a shame that the place is up for sale. My husband loved it there as they have lovely ale and he could watch football. The beach is just down the road. It is lovely and quiet and has a free car park, lovely ice cream and you can sit there on the benches and while away the hours. The lakes are nearby and are amazing. The coast is lovely and this lovely little house is a bargain! Stairs are steep but they make that clear in the description. Outdoor space at the back has no privacy and is limited. I would not trust my dog to not jump over the wall. All in all we had fab weather and a good experience, but this was mainly due to lovely people and lovely country side.

  We really enjoyed our week's stay at Combe cottage.

  The house is very well equipped, clean and nicely decorated and has plenty of space to spread out (apart from the kitchen which is rather on the small side. But it was adequate for 2 people and we ate out quite a lot anyway.) There is an unlimited supply of hot water and a good sized bathroom. Silecroft itself, is a lovely little village, if lacking in basic amenities such as a general shop. But again, that was not really a problem, having taken the most essential groceries with us. The local pub, the Miner's Arms, is a great place for a couple of drinks at the end of the day. Sadly they no longer do food. We loved the fact that we could walk to the train station in a minute and catch a train to one of the many stops further up the coast, such as Ravenglass and St Bees (or down to Millom etc). The Silecroft beach is just a few minutes drive away. Our dog loved it! As did we! Three miles of unspoilt, beautiful sand (when the tide goes out). We would definitely go again!

  The cottage was ok very simple but adequate based in a nice part of the village centre near the shop , pub, beach etc some great walks near by.

  We used it as a base to explore the area and had a great holiday visiting Barrow, Coniston, Ravenglass, Muncaster castle, St Bees and more the train station is 10 minutes away with free parking and goes to loads of places Although the cottage appears modern with the trendy grey decor etc It had the Most uncomfortable furniture I have ever sat on and the mattresses are really poor quality The Wi-Fi is none existent Smart tv doesn’t work on any channels only freeview The Lock on kitchen door doesn’t lock securely There’s nowhere in the bedroom to put anything no table or drawers No waste bin bags supplied Loo brush needs binning Parking space needs clarification in instructions as it not near the house it’s actually outside no34 no info in welcoming pack The local pub and fish shop only take cash Most of the things listed above are in the visitors book but not addressed It’s the little things that make the difference.

  A really great holiday home, inconspicuously nestled away in a row of terraced houses.

  We were really impressed with the house, the ground floor is all open plan and really nicely decorated. The bedrooms are also really nice, we found the beds really comfy, which is a rarity in holiday homes! The landing is tight upstairs, and the adjoining door between the 2 bedrooms was a bit awkward to manoeuvre around, but it was a minor quirk in what was overall a great place to stay. The TV downstairs didn't have any signal, I don't know if it had come disconnected from the aerial, or if this is just an issue with signal for that property. But we mainly used the property as a base and travelled around Cumbria. Unfortunately the village of Haverigg doesn't have a lot going for it. The beach isn't very exciting for kids, not much sand for digging and sandcastles. So I wouldn't expect to stay here with the intention of hanging out in Haverigg for a week, but the property itself was fantastic!

  Just returned from a wonderful 1 week stay at 1 cherry tree cottage.

  As others have said it's a beautiful cottage with fantastic views and lovely friendly hosts living next door.Angie even came round to show us how to light the fire properly as ours kept going out :-). With the house being just off a main road there are no paths to walk the dog from the house itself but the garden is big enough to let them run around which our cockapoo loved. As a base for exploring the South lakes you could not wish for a better accommodation or for more friendly hosts. We used an app called All Trails which showed us plenty of walks near by and Haverigg beach is fantastic to walk the dog as its huge when the tide goes out. We would highly recommend 1 Cherry Tree to anyone thinking of stopping in this area. Although we didn't get the weather to sit outside in the rear garden, it would be a fantastic spot on a warm night to take in those spectacular views.
