Overall, the cottage offers a relaxing and enjoyable base for families and groups.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with some describing it as spotlessly clean. However, a few reviews mentioned missed items (e.g., underwear under the bed, glass in the dishwasher) and a need for higher cleaning standards in some areas.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to local attractions and beautiful countryside views. While the proximity to a busy road and the concealed entrance caused concern for some, most guests found the setting peaceful and ideal for touring the region.
Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and a homely atmosphere. Some noted the cottage can get cold at night and suggested additional throws, but overall comfort levels are high.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, with a good kitchen, parking, and garden. Some guests reported maintenance issues (e.g., broken blinds, faulty fire, slow oven, missing items like glasses or bowls), and a few facilities could benefit from updating.

Super location only 10 mins from both Carnforth and Kirkby Lonsdale. Close to many walks. Lots of space, nice sheets and towels, good shower. Request for some more glasses was dealt with promptly. Fresh milk, tea and good coffee provided. Have to be careful exiting drive but traffic isn't constant. Beautiful views. Would visit again. Handy freezer in garage.

Lovely quiet relaxing accommodation, with fantastic views, good parking & excellent access, spacious rooms, quite comfortable overall, could benefit from curtains in all rooms to be able to fully draw, especially on lighter mornings.

The cottage was a real mix. Pros: beautiful towels and bed sheets, comfy beds, spacious and good location. Lovely garden area too and space to park easily. Cons: Blind broken in lounge. shower upstairs faulty so unable to use, property felt damp, couldn’t open windows. Upstairs toilet very awkwardly located in a tight corner - wouldn’t suit large or disabled people. Almost have to sit on it sideways! Not enough glasses for 6 people. No freezer. No iron or ironing board. Welcome book needs updating. No direct contact details for owner although caretaker and housekeeping tel no’s given. Welcome pack was just a large bag of crisps, tea and coffee.
