Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have expressed concerns over cleanliness, mentioning issues such as damp linen, uncleaned ovens, and the presence of flies. However, these seem to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent problem.
The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views, direct access to walks, and proximity to local pubs and restaurants. The scenic drive over Kirkstone Pass and the abundance of wildlife add to its appeal.
The cottage is generally considered comfortable, with a real fire and quality furnishings mentioned positively. Some guests found the sofas uncomfortable, but the beds received compliments for their comfort.
Facilities are well-regarded with a few suggestions for improvement such as larger kitchenware and more cutlery. Maintenance issues like a broken gate and shower button were noted, but the property is otherwise well-equipped.
While guests have had pleasant stays, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle (The Windsor of the North), Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.

The cottage was in a beautiful area and the views where absolutely stunning. The only down sides to the cottage was that the leather setter in the front lounge area was not very comfy and needed to replaced as it was beyond its sell by date. It was also a shame that the lounge area at the back of the property was not very user friendly. It could do with a larger Tele and a more comfortable sitting area. The room was a stunning room and it seemed to be wasted. After saying all that we will be back next year.

No American style fridge freezer although this wasn't a deal breaker. Views are stunning and fire made a cozy evening
