  Our 22nd holiday cottage since 2017, this one has a nice homely feel when entering, off road parking at the door is great to load and unload.

  Home made biscuits, tea, coffee and milk and nice welcome pack touch. Immaculately clean and well presented with large smart tv, good Wi-Fi, stocked kitchen with plenty of all the essentials particularly if you wish to cook, vacuum, iron etc all provided Two bedrooms one with twin single beds and the main bedroom with wardrobe, drawers, TV and double bed…our first double as all previous ones have had king size or larger …..but still very comfortable Generous size bathroom with electric shower cubicle, towels provided Small paved enclosed outside area to the back ideal as other guests have commented to let the dogs out for a night time wee….but didn’t fancy the idea of sitting out with a glass of wine knowing it was a pittle and bin area Fabulous large park and playing fields immediately next door, gated and secure with plenty of bins. Ideally situated to access all the Lakes attractions and even east of M6 to visit the Yorkshire Dales Disappointingly the photo’s of the lounge show a lovely large and roomy 4 seat corner sofa and large coffee table so looks very inviting to sit and watch the large tv,,,,sadly they have been removed and replaced with a small painfully uncomfortable 2 seater sofa, a wooden kitchen style rocking chair and a 60’s Ercol type wooden slouch chair both of which have a comfort level lasting seconds …..what a shame that the cottage has been misrepresented by not updating the photo as the difference to what you expect compared to what you get are poles apart.

  Linden Barn was the perfect family holiday retreat. The Barn was bright, fresh and comfortable. All the details has been thought of - a high quality welcome hamper, plenty of wood and paper for the log burner, comfortable beds and lots of space for the children including the lovely reading area on the landing. The large utility room was very handy for storing all the walking shoes and coats. The outside space was very inviting, if small, and there were some fresh herbs growing, which we used in cooking. In all, it was a cosy and welcome place to return to after a day's walking. The owners were on hand and very friendly and helpful the couple of times we met them, but left us to enjoy our privacy. The Barn has a fantastic situation, minutes off the M6 and accessible to the nearby Lake District as well as the Northern Yorkshire Dales. We enjoyed varied walks in both areas as well as some walks directly from the Barn itself. The village is delightful to walk around with many little streams, pretty cottages and a beautiful Church. We would highly recommend Linden Barn for a stay in this beautiful area.

  This is both the best holiday accommodation and most dog friendly accommodation we have stayed in.

  The property was beautifully appointed and had so many great dog friendly facilities. As owners of a large dog, we were delighted that the garden was properly secure (high fences) and spacious. There were also a selection of dog bowls, a hamper of dog towels and a hamper of dog blankets for the furniture, if you have a sofa dwelling dog. The kitchen was very well equipped, with excellent quality kitchen ware. A great bonus is the upstairs entertainment room, with a massive TV, XBox, DVDs,CDs, books and a computer desk with monitors. The beds were comfortable, the showers were large with good water pressure, the towels were soft and there were even slippers and robes. Having stayed out of season, we were glad it was nice and warm in the house. I can imagine, it would be lovely to sit out in the garden in the summer. It is also in a great location; Wigton, nearby has good facilities, Carlisle is only 20 minutes or so up the road, or head south for the Lakes, north for Hadrian’s Wall, or west for the coast.

  Cottage in lovely location with nice gardens etc .

  No parking at front of property ( possibly due to building works on nearby property ) though plenty of parking to rear of property so not a big issue . Be aware that if arriving after 4pm in the dark that a torch is a must especially if parking to the rear as there is very little lighting other than an occasional security house light that didn't always come on . The property itself was clean and had all amenities required . Couldn't fault the 2 bedrooms and bed comfort along with the bathroom facilities . The living/dining area was more than comfortable with good broadband TV etc . A couple of minor faults would be the worn/damaged flooring around the kitchen area and the quality of the settee and chairs , though these did not distract from the overall positive experience of the property . One which I would have no hesitation in returning to

  We loved our stay at Croft Cottage overall.

  This is my third visit to the cottage and as usually I had a lovely time. The property is lovely and clean and the topper on the main bed really made a difference and was comfortable. The patio was lovely as we had some sunshine and was nice to sit out on with the dogs. The only downside was the footstools that were previously in the cottage have been removed and the two wooden chairs are to a very specific comfort. We could not get comfortable on the rocking chair or the other wooden chair so spent the week both of us huddled on the sofa with the footstool that we brought through from the bedroom. Might be worth considering putting another soft sofa or two soft chairs in the living room, like the one that is the main bedroom as it is much nicer having soft furnishings and something to put your feet up after a long days walking.
