Lovely cottage in pretty Threlkeld. Great base for adventures. Only a short break but would have been nice if a few more basics had been provided (salt and pepper for example).

Great location with easy parking. Kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need. Decided not to use the washing machine as it was in need of a clean. The heated towel rail in the bathroom and the vents were also very dusty but the rest of the cottage was very clean. Unfortunately the mattresses were very uncomfortable and spoilt the stay as I couldn’t get a good nights sleep. Someone did come out from the local office and provided a mattress topper but this was not sufficient to solve the issue. They said they would see what else they could do but I didn’t hear from them again. Would be a nice place to stay if these simple issues were fixed.
