We thought that Wythburn Cottage was delightful. It is a beautiful building and the living spaces are warm and attractive. The high ceilinged kitchen diner is stunning and the living room cosy. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and it’s great to all have en suite facilities. The house is well equipped with plenty of kitchen appliances and fridge space. We do like to cook for ourselves and there were ample pans etc. Christine responded very quickly when we were in one afternoon and got a bit chilly, and remotely increased the heating temperature for us, which was great. All in all a very satisfactory stay, thank you.

The hosts have an amazing eye for detail. The property is beautifully decorated and furnished, and everything worked perfectly. Communications and instructions were top grade, and there was a lot if useful information about the local area. We appreciated the hamper. We would love to return.

We had a fantastic time at Wythburn cottage celebrating a family birthday and exploring the Lake District. The welcome hamper was really lovely and even a birthday card was left for my daughter. Christine had certainly gone the extra mile.
The whole experience from our first enquiry was brilliant. Christine was so helpful in answering any of our queries before we booked and the information we received in advance was helpful in our planning activities and booking restaurants before we arrived.

The cottage itself was even better than we expected and with logs for the wood burner plentiful, cosy evenings were enjoyed.
The dining room table converted into a pool table which we made use of one evening too.
The cottage overall was well equipped and the beds very comfortable. Wi-Fi was v reliable.
We would recommend this place and hope to return again ourselves.

We have had an amazing stay here at Wythburn Cottage. Every amenity has been thought of and the welcome hamper the best we have ever had! Thank you. Max enjoyed the snow, especially building his first snowman with his daddy. We ate some fabulous meals, namely at the Boot and Shoe, The Bridge (on the A66) and Dockray Hall. We can especially recommend the Bridge and its twice baked cheese souffle!! Thank you for a wonderful holiday – we will definitely be back!!

My daughter, grand-daughter and I had a lovely stay at Wythburn Cottage. The welcome hamper was outstanding; the cottage was very well-equipped and spotlessly clean; location was great, and the owners and manager were very helpful. Food at the Boot & Shoe in Greystoke was delicious. Already booked the cottage again for next year.

We would like to thank you very, very much for a wonderful stay at your fantastic Wythburn Cottage this last weekend.  You’ve done an excellent job there and offer superb accommodation.

We stayed there to celebrate our niece’s wedding which took place at the nearby Greystoke Castle and your cottage just ‘put the icing on the cake’  to make the perfect weekend. Other family members also stayed in Riverain so we could easily see each other.   We also thoroughly enjoyed the gardens (including the lovely birds) and beautiful surrounding area.  On Saturday we drove to Pooley bridge and walked to the Ulswater Lake and waterfall – lovely experience.

We were there for October Half Term and while the weather was typically Cumbrian we needed a great cottage to recover. Wythburn Cottage was just what we needed and with everything to cater to a teenager family and in particular the billiards table. All of the bedrooms were en-suite and the cottage was a luxury compared to home. If you want to spend time in Northern Lakes then this is hard to beat.

We have stayed in many self catering cottages in the Lakes but keep returning to Rowley Estates, which includes Wythburn Cottage. Both the properties of theirs that we have stayed in are well presented, comfortable, clean, well equipped and located in beautiful surroundings. The ‘welcome pack’ is particularly generous. There is no doubt that we will stay in one of their properties again.
