We had a fabulous week at this beautiful accommodation with great views over Talkin Tarn. Great location for both local walks from the door, or going further afield, as we did, to Hadrians Wall and the Lake District. Excellent accommodation for four people. Lovely outside space, though bit cool to use in March! Good quality fittings and furnishingsRead more. Felt really at home from the first evening! Fiona was available to answer any queries by phone, and sorted things out quickly. Thank you. Hide

Would absolutely recommend this property. Cant really fault the cottage, it has everything you need, and then some extras. I would return for the view alone. Maybe I wouldnt recommend it, just keep it a secret for those who know about it already!

This is the nicest accommodation we have stayed in ever, and we've been to a lot over the years. The attention to detail in the furnishings and comfort is spot on. A great balance of welcoming home and posh hotel. We took games and books but spent most of our time looking out of the windows at the view. We had all the autumn colours as well as the Read moretarn and the many swans. Nights are peaceful, only things you hear are birds, including owls. Friendly pubs nearby with excellent food. A great find! Hide
