We’ve been back here 3 times now and love it. Although it’s quiet and rural there are plenty of places to visit within driving distance. The house is large and roomy and my grandchildren love it here. At night we walk the lanes around the property to see the livestock in the fields and during the day visit places like Keswick, Carlisle castle, Greystoke castle and Silloth. Nearby is Home Farm Butchers which is the best butchers I’ve ever found in Brayton park, Aspatria. The owners of the property are lovely and welcoming and quickly sort out any problems.

Very good, spacious accomodation with all that is needed for a relaxing holiday. The added features of a private sauna and hot tub and gym machines provided extra enjoyment.The area in Cumbria where the accomodation is situated on a working farm is ideal to visit other parts of the Lake District. The owners of the holiday let were very welcoming and thoughtful leaving us a lovely welcome pack.
