A beautiful cottage fully equipped for our week long stay. This is remote and local amenities are on average around 8 miles away for supermarkets etc in Carlisle and Penrith hence the score for amenities however this is just a guide for the review as we knew this in advance and took all our provisions. Located on a working farm expect country smells and noises. So relaxing to sit in the hot tub with beautiful views. This is everything we wanted to spend time as a family and explore as and when we wished to do so. Thank you to the owners for another wonderful stay and we look forward to our return next year

Our Christmas stay at The Wheat Shed was nothing short of amazing. Before arriving we were given clear directions and instructions on key collection. When we arrived, we were stunned how amazing this barn conversion is. The photographs do not do this place justice. We went as 2 families, joined together we are a 7. There is plenty of room for everyone. We stayed over Christmas and even with 3 children's presents, we had plenty of space. The house was decorated for Christmas which was a must for me. Lots of extra Christmas decorations scattered throughout, which made the place feel so festive. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, the bedding feels really fresh and clean (I've been to plenty of places I didn't get that vibe from!). 2 towels per person were provided, including a towel each for the hot tub! The hot tub was a great addition to our stay, adults and children enjoyed a relaxing time with a little splash of fun! Outside, we didn't venture to the play area, however in our enclosed garden., there was a swing and a mini golf course! We were delighted about this! Back inside, the washer and dryer meant we didn't bring piles of washing home which is always good! We can't believe how clean this holiday let was. It was immaculate! Alison popped her head in on the night we arrived and said she would leave us to it, and that she did. Although this house is on a working farm, we had lots of privacy and seeing the odd animal (hundreds of sheep go past the gate, cows and goats out of the window) was a real bonus. Every person were did see on the farm was so friendly and always said hello or waved! This home is so warm and cosy, we couldn't if asked for a better place to stayMy 11 year old says it was absolutely amazing, the perfect set up which created a beautiful atmosphere and she especially loved the outside amenities! Hands down the best Christmas we've had! Thank you so much!
