Guests say
Chestnuts is a spacious, modern and immaculately clean cottage in a peaceful village near Carlisle, ideal for families and groups. Guests praise its comfortable bedrooms, excellent bathrooms, and well-equipped kitchen, as well as the friendly neighbours and countryside views. The location is convenient for exploring Carlisle and the Lake District, with a popular local pub nearby. Some minor issues were noted, such as limited kitchen equipment, lack of fans during hot weather, and occasional flies, but overall, guests thoroughly enjoyed their stays and would recommend the property.
Cleanliness is consistently praised, with multiple guests describing the property as spotless, immaculately clean, fresh, and tidy. Only one review mentioned flies, but this appears to be an isolated issue.
The location is highly rated for its peaceful countryside setting, proximity to Carlisle and the Lake District, and friendly village atmosphere. The only minor drawback mentioned is the lack of a shop within walking distance.
Guests found the cottage very comfortable, highlighting spacious rooms, comfortable beds, powerful showers, and a relaxing atmosphere. The only comfort-related negatives were the lack of fans during hot weather and limited bedroom ventilation.
Facilities are generally excellent, with guests appreciating the spacious layout, modern bathrooms, and well-equipped kitchen. Some noted a shortage or wear of certain kitchen items (pans, trays), and a few suggested additions like sun loungers, an air fryer, or a coffee machine.
Several guests mentioned welcome packs or gifts such as wine, eggs, and biscuits, and praised the owners' helpfulness and communication. However, one guest found the welcome pack underwhelming. Please note that gifts are not guaranteed.

Whilst overall we enjoyed our stay at Chestnuts, the first few days were spoiled by there being no fans to combat the intense heat. They could do with providing fans, especially in the ensuite bedrooms, which only have doors and not windows (not everyone feels comfortable sleeping with doors open). Also, whilst there was ample crockery, the cooking pans and trays need replacing as they are very old and scratched, which meant that the food stuck. Other than that the house is very comfortable (especially the beds) and there is plenty of seating for everyone. Plenty of parking too. Overall I would recommend Chestnuts but wouldn't stay again in hot weather

We had a great stay at Chestnuts. The house is incredibly spacious and well equipped with everything you could need! The beds were very comfortable and bedrooms are a great size. It was a bonus seeing the cows at the back of the house each morning! Lovely area and great neighbours. Would definitely book and visit again!
