  Despite COVID having impacted us all, the chance for exploring Cumbria, the Lakes etc was made all the more enjoyable by this fabulous little cottage.

  Quite quirky but really well appointed, bedrooms were lovely, bathroom light and airy with plenty of hot water to satisfy our teenagers! But above all great to have a dog with us as well. Perfect location for him and a great exercising area that was secure to prevent any unexpected running off, by the Doodle that is. The local village of Armathwaite has two great pubs and we ate lunch in both! However, there can be only one winner, Fox and Pheasant did a cracking meal of chicken breast stuffed with haggis and whiskey creamy sauce, divine! All washed down with local Ale. Speaking of Ale, cannot recommend more highly than picking up a load of beer from a fabulous brewery called Ennerdale, do a delicious IPA that is seriously refreshing check out the link: http://www.ennerdalebrewery.co.uk/ Whilst your staying at the cottage, there are fresh eggs in the honesty box at the end of the lane, super tasty and fresh for a scrummy breakfast, just make sure you have some cash! Being next to a farm, you do need to time departure and return for when the dairy cows are led out to the fields, so you really do feel deep in farming country, but we loved it, so did Wilbur our Doodle, so many chickens, ducks and geese, just make sure you have your furry friends on a lead whe going out to avoid scaring the locals!! And lastly to Nick, who greeted us on arrival. Lovely chap and host who we exchanged a few laughs with, looking forward to booking our return Nick!

  Myself and my partner (and 2 dogs) stayed here at the end of October as a last minute get away.

  Arriving to a bottle of wine, fresh fruit, chocolate cookies and milk was a fantastic touch after a 2 hour drive! The cottage was beautifully clean, warm and homely throughout our stay. And the owner(s) couldn’t do enough for us throughout, despite following COVID-19 measures. It was a brilliant experience to stay on a working dairy farm and such welcoming, pleasant farmers. It is a great base to drive to many fells, lakes and dog walks and there are 3 lovely walks around the farm. There are dog walks from the farm however we didn’t experience these due to the wet weather. After long, wet day’s walking our dogs it was great to dry off in front of a log burner, with heated floor and enjoying a ginormous bath! There are plenty of pubs nearby if you don’t mind driving but being tucked away in a little cottage, with a self-sufficient kitchen was all we needed. I will be recommending to me family and friends and will certainly come back soon! Such great value for money.

  This is a hidden gem, if you are fancying a getaway from hustle and bustle of city life and looking for a peaceful and cosy holiday this is the perfect spot .

  Located on the farm, which gives you a chance to see the milking of the cows. If you have a dog there are some very nice walks, the cottage is really cosy has a small patio and place to sit and you can let your dog free in that area. Under floor heating and fireplace makes it more cosy and warm. The owners are really nice , proactive and hospitable. They even arranged laundry for us. They left cookies ,bottle of wine and fruits in the cottage before we arrived. The cottage has supply of warm water all the time. Clean n big bath, dishwasher is available too . Its not far from penrith town center or carlisle town center , its in the perfect spot. If you love animals it will be an amazing experience to interact with them that close.

  It stated on the details about this cottage that it had wifi.

  wifi was very very limited. The owners did state on a welcome sheet that it was down to an issue with BT due to being too far from the exchange. Although the cottage was only for 2 people the fridge provide could have been bigger as you couldn't store much food and you ad to go to the shop more often. Where the cottage was situated, which was on a farm there was a lot of flies. There was fly spray provided but that wasn't enough to get rid of them. Maybe a fly zapper could be fitted? The cottage itself was situated in most quiet of places and so peaceful. I would consider going back as this was the main reason for picking it.

  We enjoyed our mini break and the cottage was well equipped with every thing we needed.

  The welcome pack of milk , wine , fruit etc was a nice touch. And there was plenty of cleaning products / wipes / sanitizer etc -the cottage was clean and fresh on arrival - The area was very nice for walking our dogs. The cows were very friendly ! The only one thing if we had to make a suggestion would be please change the pillows on the bed as they were quite uncomfortable.. the mattress very soft however this is an individual preference and not a deal breaker! We would visit the area again as we love to visit the lakes and Surrounding areas frequently. The enclosed garden is great for the dogs and the views nice.
