We had the most amazing week here. The location is absolutely stunning, with breath taking views all around. It feels wonderfully quiet and remote, yet you're only a short drive from so many places to explore.The accommodation is fantastic, beautifully presented, and exceptionally well equipped. The owners have clearly thought of everything to make your stay comfortable.The outdoor living space is worth its weight in gold. We used it every day morning, noon and night. We were lucky enough to have one of the hottest weeks the Lake District has seen, and the covered seating area was perfect for enjoying the outdoors while staying in the shade. The evening sun does shine underneath the canopy for a short while as it sets, but only briefly. We visited in July, so this may vary at different times of the year. Once the sun disappears behind High Rigg, it's no longer an issue, and in fact we had some cracking sunsets.The owners are genuinely lovely people, friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating.I highly recommend this and we are already looking to book again.

We had a lovely time whilst staying at Bram Cragg. It’s in a fabulous location with beautiful views. The owner was lovely and helpful when we experienced a power cut (turned out to be one of our best nights playing games by candlelight). We did have some difficulty contacting the owner prior to our stay but we needn’t have worried as everything was ready for us . Would love to return at some point.
