  We had the most amazing time and would love to come again.

  Such a delightful cottage. Quiet and cosy. Perfect for us! The welcome pack was generous. Easter bunnies for the kids was a lovely touch which added to the excitement of arrival. The facilities were spotless and everything we needed was provided. It was always warm so we didn't need the log burner but tried it once for fun. It took us a while to work out the DVD player but we eventually found the tiny buttons at the bottom right side of the TV. If that was added to the information pack it would save some frustration as I read other people had the same issue. The shower was amazing and the kids enjoyed the novelty of a corner bath! The property is close to Penrith so we could top up groceries easily. Ullswater and the surrounding area is stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring it. The steamers were great fun after a long day walking. We also took a trip out to Hadrian's Wall, which also had lovely views. I can't recommend this lovely cottage enough. I'd live there if I could. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

  Easily located property with good area for car parking.

  Tastefully decorated bedrooms and living area. The kitchen was fully equipped with an extensive range of cooking equipment and appliances. Thank you for the welcome pack of milk, juice, croissants and wine. Efficient heating system so we did not need to use the log burner. As another review mentioned the towels were barely adequate for showering. The second(twin) bedroom would be more suited to children than adults as space and storage is minimal. Penrith was an easy drive away for supermarket shopping and the Sun Inn in Newton Reigny had a good menu with friendly service.

  Fabulous little cottage.

  The only disappointment was that we were so warm we didn’t need to light the stove - even when temps outside were 7 degrees. Hardly used the CH either. The living area is a delight in the mornings with the high windows letting in all the morning sun. All mod cons but with a lovely traditional feel. And wonderful lights everywhere. We felt we were in a remote part of Cumbria, but the motorway (unheard) is 2 minutes away and Penrith is a great little town just a short drive away. And not far to Borrowdale, Ullswater and the rest of the. Or there Lakes. Highly recommended.

  Though we were not allowed into the property until later because of extra cleaning because of covid we found dirty tableware which we had to wash before using also the chopping board.

  There where lots of cobwebs particularly in the twin bedded room, there was a brochure under the double bed so had not been hoovered properly, also dead insect on skirting board in twin bedroom. Trying to get the DVD to work was a work of art, following the instructions in the folder didn't achieve anything, possibly because of different remote. The views were disappointing as being an upside down house we expected much better. The cottage was certainly not older person friendly, it needed a banister on the other side of the wall at the bottom of the stairs.

  We enjoyed our stay at this cottage very much.

  The natural oak woodwork everywhere is very attractive, and having two bathrooms in a two bedroom cottage is a rare luxury. It is conveniently situated for visiting both the Lake District and Northumberland, and very accessible from the M6, yet in quiet countryside. There is no garden to sit out in, but so much magnificent countryside to visit that you won’t want to stay back at base, and the Juliette balcony gives the large living-dining area a lovely open and fresh feel in warm weather.
