  We stayed for one week in January 2022.

  The cottage is located in a lovely, quiet cul-de-sac and the owners were lovely with excellent communication and were very helpful. The cottage itsself is brand new, beautifully furnished to a high quality & well finished. It felt very homely and we loved our stay with our 8 month old (who also loved it). The welcome pack was unexpected but wonderful and we were pleased that the kitchen utensils lacked nothing that we needed. The owners provided us with a high chair and cot for the baby, both of which were of a good quality and new. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. Also for a night in, there were loads of available TV channels and streaming options. We actually took turns working home office from the cottage during our week and had no issues with Internet, so the connection is superb. Also the kitchen high table worked very well for this. Cowling we found charming and there were loads of walks to do straight from the front door, even with a pram. The local pub was friendly and in the welcome book there's a very well prepared list of restaurants / take-away options which we used. Parking is directly outside and very easy. Overall we loved our stay and look forward to coming back.

  We had a really pleasant stay at this property.

  There were a few things however that did slightly affect our overall rating. The Bannister railings upstairs on the right were loose.That was a safety concern for us as we had to be careful not to hold onto a certain part of it .Particularly as we had a child. The upstairs bedroom windows didn't have any blinds or net curtains so the house opposite could see right in .This again was a privacy and modesty concern. The bath was not very deep therefore slightly uncomfortable in the bathroom . The small stool seat in the main bedroom near the dressing table was broken so you couldn't sit on it properly . The WiFi was unfortunately not a good coverage.We couldn't watch catch up TV properly or it would buffer alot whilst loading. These are all things that could be easily addressed though .We enjoyed our stay and the facilities overall were good. It was a cottage full of character in a beautiful area.

  What a wonderful place to stay !

  Lots of walks on the doorstep, 1000 years of history within easy reach. An immaculate little cottage, just right for the two of us for a week away. Met by the owner Joanne, who was attentive to our needs but never intrusive. The cottage has everything that you could need and is newly fitted with an abundance of brand new appliances. Spotlessly clean and tidy throughout. Huge comfy bed, little patio for sunny days, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom. The local area is great and there are good restaurants/pubs within very easy reach (no more than 4 miles) so we never went hungry .. very friendly pub about 400m away that where we were made so welcome after our first 8 mile local walk. I would 100% recommend this cottage !

  Our second visit to this lovely cottage.

  Thanks to Kate the owner for lovely gift basket and especially for the generous £30 gift behind the bar at Richard 3rd pub for being return guests. It was really unexpected and we had a great meal. The cottage is a great base to visit the area. I stayed again with my now 5 year old granddaughter, who stated she wanted to live here. It was great for a day out at the Forbidden Corner, just 5 minutes up the road. We also had a day out at Lightwater Valley just over half an hour away. Baymor ice cream parlour was only about 6 minutes away and had great play areas. Looking forward to returning again next year

  Eames Cottage is beautiful.

  It is extremely modern, stylish, extremely well equipped and every detail is attended to. There were lovely touches which suited my taste and were very much appreciated. A great shower and all appliances are clean, new and ideally suited to modern life. Unfortunately, I have a balance disorder which made carrying things from the kitchen to the upstairs living room a little difficult but it wasn't a huge stumbling block as mostly we ate downstairs anyway. For more able people there is absolutely no problem. A lovely place with friendly, unobtrusive owners. Many thanks.
