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.

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!
