The location is convenient for exploring Carlisle and the Lake District, and the local pub is a popular highlight.

Occasional welcome gifts were appreciated, though not guaranteed. Overall, guests thoroughly enjoyed their stays and would happily return.
Multiple reviews highlight the property as spotless, clean, and tidy, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. Only one review mentioned an issue with flies, but this was not a recurring theme.
The location is frequently described as lovely, peaceful, and ideal for exploring Carlisle and the Lake District. The proximity to a friendly village pub and countryside views are repeatedly praised. The only minor drawback mentioned is the lack of a shop within walking distance.
Guests consistently mention the spaciousness, comfortable beds, and relaxing atmosphere. The house is described as warm and homely, with excellent bathrooms and plenty of space for large groups.
The cottage is generally considered very well equipped, with ample kitchen and bathroom facilities. A few guests noted minor shortages in kitchen equipment and suggested additions like sun loungers, an air fryer, or a coffee machine, but these did not detract significantly from overall satisfaction.
Several guests appreciated welcome gifts such as biscuits, eggs, and wine, and found the owners helpful and communicative. However, one guest found the welcome pack underwhelming, and it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

We had a great stay at Chestnuts. The house is incredibly spacious and well equipped with everything you could need! The beds were very comfortable and bedrooms are a great size. It was a bonus seeing the cows at the back of the house each morning! Lovely area and great neighbours. Would definitely book and visit again!

Fantastic property in an ideal spot for visiting the northern lakes. Stone throw away from Carlisle and only 30 mins away from Penrith. The Royal Oak pub around the corner is great, I wish we'd been there to try out their Sunday lunch!As for the house itself I think you'll find it difficult to find something better at this price for it's size and quality, it's much bigger than it looks on the pictures and even with 8 of us there is plenty of space in every single room. Honestly can't fault it...
