Just returned from a lovely stay at Skiddaw Cottage. Easy to find, cottage was spotless and very comfortable, we settled in very quickly. The hot tub was much appreciated after a days exploring.

Internet/wifi speed was excellent with a smart TV to watch when needed. We met Richard several times during our stay who was always happy to offer advice and check how we were getting on. We did a lot of exploring of the area on our 1st visit to the Lake District. The cottage was a great base and we'd stay again if were up that way again. Hide

Fully equipped. Just food and clothes needed. Plenty of towels and bath robes provided was a lovely touch. Safe enclosed areas for our two American bulldogs which was our main concern. Warm powerful hot tub , water changed after each customers. Close to coast , mountains and lakes ideal base. Highly recommended.

The property has been really well thought out and everything has been done to make your stay as comfortable and easy as possible. A great welcome pack is there on arrival and all the little things which you need are included, such as hand soap, washing up liquid, dishwasher and washing tablets etc. The hot tub is gorgeous, the bed comfortable and Read morethe TV has plenty of streaming services. The owners were really friendly and helpful. Had there been any issues, which there weren't, I am sure they would have been sorted out immediately. They also offered general information on the area and things to do. We would definitely book to go back here Hide
