A lovely little cottage with everything we needed for a nights stay. The outside seating was nice to sit at and appreciate the peace and quiet and the living room was comfortable to sit in during the evening when the temperature dropped. Kirby Stephen was easily accessible by car but is also walkable for restaurants, cafes and shops.

Hartley cottage

Super space. Comfortable accommodations. Lovely back garden with a red squirrel visitor and lots of bird song. Great walks from the door with neighbouring Kirkby Stephen easily accessed by foot path or car for shopping. Ample parking space that is easy to access. Quiet. We very much enjoyed our stay

Nice cottage

We booked this cottage for a family trip in our summer holidays and it was a lot better than expected. The rooms were big enough for a family of four plus dog. Everything was clean and tidy. The place is in a cul-de-sac and quiet, only cars from the neighbourhood are present. The parking lot is big enough for two cars. A ten minute walk leads to the next little city of Kirkby Stephen, where everything you need is available - pubs, inns, shopping, visitor centre, gas station. The walking trails around the place are refreshing and relaxing. We enjoyed the trip and are definitely coming back.

Beautiful property in a lovely location for some amazing walks. Very dog friendly, bowls, towel and biscuits provided in the cottage. Town centre is walking distance where there are lots of dog friendly pubs and cafes. There are also shops in the town to pick up any supplies. Very quiet, relaxing and cosy cottage, looking forward to our next trip with our dogs for more lovely walks. Definitely recommend.

Fab cottage

The cottage is in a lovely location only a short drive to Kirkby Stephen. It is well kitted out with everything you need and has a very homely feel. There are many walks on your doorstep with lots of wildlife just outside your window. We did see the squirrel which was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this and will return.

Lovely cottage (larger than expected from photos). Everything you need for a stay away from home.

Excellent response from owner. Clean and tidy and well equipped property. Little garden with daily visits from male/female Guests pheasant and little red squirrel plus plenty of little birds (bag of bird feed and nuts for squirrel were left for us to use). Unfortunately weather was poor so did have opportunity to sit out (furniture was available). Thank you for the traybake and Finley enjoyed the dog treats left for us. Plenty of walks from your doorstep, we liked the walk on the old viaducts about 10mins away. Short walk to Kirkby Stephen, where have a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants (some was closed due to first week in new year and they were taking holiday break, after Christmas busy period - we expected this may be the case). Property has its own parking space and neighbours were friendly.

Lovely quiet cottage

There is so much to do from the front door and loads more after a short drive. This time we walked to Brough and back across fields and hills, and had fish and chips at the pub along the bridleway in Nateby (examples of front door excursions there) and we also walked along a stretch of the Pennine Way to Low Force and High Force, and explored some of the high routes along the Mallerstang (we used a car to get to those places). There is so much we have not yet explored, including the limestone pavement above Orton and the walk to Keld. I still dream of climbing Mickle Fell, even though every time I get a permit my chosen weekend is a wash-out of Noah proportions. I can hope. It's a great place to get back to, with a good kitchen, a comfy lounge and a proper table. I love a proper table.
