Fantastic well equipped property in a lovely quiet location.

Great place to stay, felt welcome and was gifted with loads of local produce with a hand written welcome card.

Had a wonderful stay at the Shepard’s hut would definitely recommend you anyone looking to stay close to the Lake District and would recommend the llama walk next to the hut!

We had a lovely stay, the hut had everything we needed. Kept warm when the weather decided to rain! A lovely space, very secluded and Christine was helpful from the get go letting us know where to park and how to get to the shepards hut
Close to Penrith and the lakes – great place to be

We recently stayed at Jenny’s Croft – a lovely quiet cottage in the Cumbrian countryside. It is a very well appointed cottage with everything you could possibly need during your stay along with the ‘Welcome Hamper’ full of delicious treats! The beds were very comfortable although a 10.5 tog duvet in the summer (especially when the temperatures have been exceptionally high) was a bit much! We were well placed to visit the surrounding area with our dog and found some amazing walks especially Aira Falls which we loved and also a boat trip on Ullswater. The pubs were lovely too! We’ll definitely be back!

What a great easy going place to share with friends. We spent a wonderful week driving into the Lakes and coming back exhausted but exhilarated. Thankfully, the super well equipped kitchen made it easy to knock up supper and crack open a bottle of wine, or two. Best of all – sitting outside late into the evening – we saw a hedgehog!

We had a wonderful stay at Wythburn Cottage, where two families stayed together, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place to make memories.

From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the standard of the accommodation. The cottage was beautifully presented, exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Every amenity had been thoughtfully provided, and all of the beds were so comfortable that everyone slept really well.

The outdoor space was a real favourite with all of us, especially the children. It was spacious, safe, and completely secure, which meant they could play happily while the adults relaxed. We made great use of the BBQ area, and it was such a lovely touch that charcoal was provided – it’s those little extras that really make a difference.

One of our favourite things was the beautiful view of Blencowe Hall, which you can see from the cottage. It’s a stunning setting and adds to the charm of the location. We also loved that Keswick is only around a 20-minute drive away, making it easy to explore the area before returning to the peace and quiet of the cottage.

We all had such a fantastic time together and made some wonderful family memories. Wythburn Cottage exceeded our expectations, and we’re already talking about when we can come back. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and can’t wait to return!

Thankyou again !

All 15 of our American family (age 15 to 85) thought Blencowe wonderful. Modern where needed(baths/kitchen/tv room) and a time capsule else where.
We did shooting, a hot tub, a great catered/ served dinner, delivered meals, a piper, and trips to nearby friendly pubs!
My only complaint was getting lost trying to find my great bedroom after wine. Large doesn’t do Blencowe justice.
The owners left treats and wine in the fridges. Nearby(but not too near)large modern grocery stores supply everything else we needed. The castle has no neighbors and is built on a Roman site.
Scotland is a short drive and the wall is near. Go, you will love it.

Stag Cottage is in a perfect location for exploring the area, which is stunning! The cottage itself is spacious, very well furnished, comfortable, and was equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The welcome pack was generous with local products and overall it was a really lovely place to stay.
