We loved our stay at the cottage - it is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, with lots of thoughtful touches. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and very well equipped. The area is great - we went to Lowther Castle, Acorn Bank and Larch Cottage and wandered round Appleby. Would definitely recommend and would love to return!

It was just what we were looking for to bring in the New Year! Great family venue, very well presented and the attention to detail, was superb. A nice 40 minute walk in to Appleby surrounded by stunning scenery. Lovely hosts and I would definitely return in a hearts beat.
