    Loved staying here was very homely also the hot tub was brilliant also the garden and the river at the end of the garden made this perfect and a very tranquil stay for me and my girlfriend. Definitely hope to come back again as only been back home a day and I miss it. Penrith town centre is a stone throw away and lots of areas to travel to within the lakes, locality wise you're in the heart of district and plenty scenery to check out when youre not in the hot tub ah. 10/10

    Not a thing

    This place is brilliant.. after 5 and a half hour drive we picked up some food and decided to stay at the accommodation for the first evening.. everything is here you will need.. lovely little kitchen ,en suite bathroom, a very comfortable double bed with a flat screen on the wall.. the garden is beautiful with a river out back which you have full use of and to top it off the hot tub was a blessing after the drive ready to use from 6am till midnight.. the hosts are brilliant and are there if you need anything.. oh and we won't forget the visits from the cat 🐈 hahah very friendly and came to say hello at every chance.. we will be coming back on our next visit to the lakes

    The property’s location is great and the garden with the river at the bottom is beautiful. Hot tub is always a bonus on any trip. This was our second time at this property and we are booked to go back. The main host ‘the cat’ is always around making sure you are happy on your stay.

    There was nothing not to like!

    Everything about this little weekend getaway was perfect from start to finish! Great location in Penrith, we did Windermere, Ambleside & Keswick all which are within a 45 min drive away, coming back to relax in the hotub. Annexe is comfy & cosy and is equipped with everything you need for your stay, we will definately be looking to book again in the near future.

    The bed just a bit soft for our liking, seemed quite springy but I guess that’s personal preference. Honestly this place is lovely!

    Lovely little annex with a fantastic hot tub. I personally would have liked to meet the owners at least once, maybe on arrival. That being said it was lovely and peaceful and any questions were answered promptly. Really good communication from booking to text messages while at the annex. Kitchen area has everything you need and all really clean. Leaving a bit of a milk was a lovely touch, thank you! There’s a really friendly cat who came to see us which was so cute and made my Daughters day. The property is easy to find and access and there’s plenty near by. The weather was terrible so we had a day out to Keswick, which wasn’t far away at all. Thanks for having us!

    The outside of the property was unkept. No extras such as shampoo/shower gel. Soap dispenser empty. Hot Tub wasn't secluded/private. Missing champagne flute We had to go under bed as we dropped something and it wasn't very clean.

    Property was nice & clean. Easy check in process. Good communication from owners . Tea/coffee/sugar provided. Pint of Milk would have been a nice touch.

    N/A. Nada. Nothing. Loved everything about staying here.

    The annex was stunning. With great views in the morning. The kitchen was perfect, easy to use the oven and cooker, supplied with trays (with a little help off YouTube, but common sense came into play). Supplied with all the necessary cultery and utensils. Supplied with sugar and tea bags (which we filled back up for the hospitality and courtesy) and plates, cups, and plastic/glass glasses were provided. The bed was so comfortable. The toilet and shower was superb and clean. The whole annex as a whole was beautiful, peaceful and cosy. Highly recommended for couples. There is also a hot tub, to the side of the annex, but we didn't manage to go in as we were too tired and chilled. Also supplied with a fantastic flat screen TV with Netflix and Prime, with free WiFi too. And you'll have a beautiful visitor in Dude, the cat when you stay. Such a cute cat and very friendly too. The location is perfect too - 8 mins into Penrith town centre and 20 mins to Keswick. Some lovely pubs in Penrith, such as The Pinny and The Woolpack and in Keswick, The Dog & Gun. Had a beautiful 3 nights here. Definitely recommend to couples and will be staying again in the future for sure. Cannot wait to rebook again. Thanks ever so much, Christian and Jess. All the best. 💙💜
