  The cottage was fantastic.

  It was immaculately clean and had a lot of amenities that were not listed on the site but made our stay even more comfortable, such as: tea towels, tea, coffee, oil, salt and pepper, cling film, board games, cocktail, wine and champagne glasses and more. The only thing missing was matches/a lighter for the log burner. Online the listing said everything needed for the log fire would be provided, so we may have missed the matches somewhere but after looking in all of the logical places we gave up and went to the shop. The local Spar convenience store was a 5 minute walk away so this wasn’t too much of an inconvenience. There are also a couple of nice pubs and an artisan bakery in town ( <5min walk). We had a really lovely stay at the cottage, it was nice and warm for our arrival, the beds were really comfy and bed linen felt luxury. USB chargers were a nice touch around the house too. You would struggle to park more than 2 cars outside if needed.

  Lovely modern cottage in a great location, very short walk to the village and a great base for walks in the area.

  All agreed beds were very comfortable. Kitchen facilities provided were good. Bluetooth speaker system brilliant! The Kings Arm pub serves nice food as well as the local Chinese takeaway. Shops are few mins walk including a decent size Co-op, bakery and cafe. Few comments for owners consideration: Lounge facilities not ideal for 6 adults to relax comfortably (sofa seats 3-4) so would suggest another smaller sofa would be a great addition instead of the chair and beanbag for added comfort. Another shower facility would be great but perhaps lack of space to fit that in? Sauna only seats 2 but not clear on the site when booking so we had to take turns to use it! Overall, would recommend this lovely property in a great location perhaps better suited to a family or smaller group of adults.

  This converted barn has to be one of, or if not, the best we have ever stayed in.

  It was spotlessly clean and had everything present we could’ve asked for or needed. It is decorated to a high standard and even the bedding is of a high quality. The added extras like welcome basket and Christmas decorations really made it special. The view from outside the cottage is spectacular, the day we were leaving we woke up to a covering of snow! Wow. As the barn is accessed via a single track road we did worry we might struggle to get out due to the snow and 1 rear wheel drive car, however the owner made himself present and told us he had a 4x4 If needed. Luckily it was not, however the thought/offer was very much appreciated! The only negative we could think of would be that we didn’t stay for long enough. Just means we will have to visit again now

  We loved staying at Fig Cottage and it had everything needed for a very comfortable stay.

  Its well furnished and equipped with good quality fittings and a very peaceful place. Woodburner, sauna and front patio furniture were great features that we much enjoyed, along with one of the jigsaws! Perfect for our family with our 2 teen/pre-teen boys, very comfortable and more spacious than it appeared on the photos. Fantastic location with very close access to all the great shops, pubs etc locally in the lovely town and Kirkby Stephen is a great base from which to explore the stunning countryside around. Also the owners were extremely helpful and responsive when we encountered a small issue with one of the appliances, immediately supplying a spare and arranging for it to be dealt with by a professional with minimal inconvenience. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  A beautifully appointed property set in idyllic scenery.

  The instructions regarding finding the property are spot on, perhaps the use of "what3words" as an alternative would get you literally to the door. The kitchen was spacious with everything you might need. The week we were there was so hot the plumbed in fridge freezer with dispensed ice and cold water was a god send. The bedrooms were all comfortable, each with there own en-suite. Plus 2 additional toilets one up stairs and one down. A large spacious lounge upstairs allowed for family get togethers. The hot tub was the most used piece of equipment, each evening we relaxed in the spa, enjoying the tranquility of the scenery and on our last night watching a beautiful harvest moon rise over the hills. Overall a wonderful holiday providing memories for a lifetime.
