Beautiful property, looking out over Clough Head. Very very well equipped and appointed, and very comfortable indeed. We would have returned later in the year but it's booked up already because it's so popular!

The cottage was lovely. Homely, well equipped and really comfortable. A real luxury. Great walks right on your doorstep. The owners had thought of everything to make the stay really memorable. The little welcome hamper was a nice touch and unexpected. Cant recommend this Cottage highly enough.

Incredibly clean, cosy cottage. Cute little welcome hamper on arrival complete with simple but tasteful Christmas decor. We are very picky about mattress comfort and thumbs up from myself and my daughter who is recovering from spine surgery. Fantastic location at the base of beautiful Blencathra.

Barbara cottage is in a great location from which to explore the north lakes. Threlkeld is a lovely small village with a couple of nice pubs. The views are stunning.

5 star cottage, the interior finish is superb, the best of any cottage weve stayed in. Cottage is well equipped all round but would benefit from a tumbler drier or clothes line. Location is also great for walks ( Blencathra and Skidaw from the doorstep), trips to Keswick and the 2 wonderful village pubs, not to mention the local community cafe.
