Guests appreciate the cosy, well-equipped accommodation and its excellent location for exploring both the coast and the lakes. The property is particularly popular with walkers and dog owners. While most reviews are very positive, a few mention minor maintenance issues and occasional noise from nearby facilities. Overall, guests enjoy a comfortable and memorable stay in a beautiful, unspoilt part of Cumbria.
Most guests found the cottage very clean and tidy, with several reviews specifically praising its cleanliness. A small number of guests mentioned cobwebs, spiders, or flies, but these were exceptions rather than the norm.
The location is frequently described as ideal, peaceful, and perfect for exploring the Western Lakes, coast, and nearby attractions. The views are repeatedly highlighted as a major positive, and access to walks and local sights is excellent.
Guests consistently mention the cottage as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with good beds and a welcoming atmosphere. A few minor comments about shower size and occasional noise do not detract from the overall comfort.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, with positive remarks about the kitchen, log burner, and laundry. Some guests noted minor maintenance issues (e.g., loose tiles, shower temperature, TV size), but these did not significantly impact their stay.
Several guests mention friendly, helpful hosts and thoughtful touches such as a welcome pack for the log burner and fresh eggs. Please note that such gifts or extras are not guaranteed for every stay.

Suprise View is bright, cheerful, spacious, beautifully furnished cottage. It was a delight to explore such an unspoiled area of the Lake District and for us, being on a working farm was an added delight.
