Cruck End is a spacious and comfortable cottage with large bedrooms and a welcoming atmosphere, ideal for families or groups. Guests appreciated the friendly and helpful owners, as well as the well-equipped kitchen. The property is in a peaceful location, convenient for exploring the Lake District, though a car is needed for amenities in Appleby. While the cottage is generally cosy and inviting, several guests noted that the bathroom and some flooring would benefit from refurbishment. Overall, it offers a pleasant stay with plenty of space and a warm welcome.
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, though one review mentioned cobwebs and questioned the thoroughness of cleaning. No major cleanliness issues were reported.
The cottage is praised for its quiet and convenient location for visiting the Lakes, but it is a drive from Appleby, requiring a car for meals and shopping.
Guests consistently highlighted the spaciousness, large bedrooms, and comfortable beds, making it suitable for families and groups.
The kitchen is well-equipped and the living areas are spacious, but multiple reviews mention that the bathroom and some flooring are in need of updating or refurbishment.
Guests appreciated the welcoming owners and the provision of cooking ingredients and kitchen amenities. Please note that such thoughtful touches are not guaranteed for every stay.

Thank you for a lovely stay.

A really spacious cottage. A quiet location within easy reach of many places. The owners are very friendly always spoke when they saw you making sure everything was good for your stay. The only thing we found to be inconvenienant was the bath. It has a step/seat in it and you had to use the shower to wash your hair. A small inconvenience.
