Absolutely loved our recent stay here. We both had covid tests before staying to ensure everyone's safely.
The cottage was easy to locate and on arrival the heating was already on, so lovely and cosy. More than enough 'initial' logs to keep us going for the evening. We ourchased more at Penrith easily. Although local amenities were marked slightly down, this was only for immediate location, only 10 mins to Shap for fully stocked Co-op and again 10/15 mins to Penrith for any shop you could possibly imagine! So fantastic location for this.
Superb location to gain access to Lakes, Mountains, scenery and countryside.
We challenged ourselves to High Street Mountain - incredible views, well worth it. An hour journey to Honister Slate Mine, again fantastic views up there too. Also a short journey to Ullswater and surrounding areas. We visited Lowther Castle & grounds, again a short 5 min journey and lovely day out, even take away food / drinks.
The cottage was clean on arrival, maybe a few cobwebs here and there but to be expected with an old tradition building like that, the sauna was a blessing, after hours in the snow climbing it was great to come home to and easy to use!
There were plenty of pots, oans, plates cutlery etc, we did leave a few bits we didn't need to bring home in order to help others (oil, seasoning's etc).
We used to conservatory a little but as it was snowing the majority of the time it was too cold, would ebe glorious in such a peaceful tranquil environment though. Plenty of wildlife to be seen.
The bed and sofas were cosy and comfortable, we were happy to cosy up in the evening with fire on it was superb.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, would highly recommend and definitely come back!
Thank you for a gorgeous little holiday. My partner even wanted to buy the place he loved it so much! Thanks again, much appreciated.
