    (not a problem for us) Be aware that the location is beautiful but a bit isolated. The closest (bigger) supermarket is around 30 minutes away and takes a narrow road to drive down (and up again). Best to combine groceries with day trips

    A beautiful house, clean and spacious with everything in order. The location offers very nice views and is a quiet one. Downstairs there is a room with 2 single beds and a small bathroom with a shower and toilet. Upstairs there is a room with a double bed and a room with 2 single beds. There is also a bathroom with bath and toilet. The house was absolutely fine with 5 persons (2 adults 3 children). We would definitely book again.

    There was nothing we didn’t like. The cottages are remote and up a long bumpy drive but the location is beautiful and so peaceful.

    The cottages were exceptional! Warm, clean, comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for anymore.

    Maybe a box or basket for recycling would be a good idea. We used the tray but it was a balancing act :-)

    We loved the location The cottage was spotless. The communication with the owners was excellent.

    A perfect secluded place to stay. Brilliant place to destress. Quiet peaceful and homely. Excellent in every way. In easy reach of major Lake District attractions and other not so well known. Accomodation is set in stunning countryside. A real joy.

    The roads leading the cottage were a bit bumpy as they ascended uphill, but you quickly adapt after driving around the area a few times. The owner was thoughtful and repaired the potholes on the farm while we were there. Personally, we weren’t bothered by the road conditions since we were driving an older car.

    I had an incredible experience in this absolutely beautiful and tranquil location. The cottage was stunning, and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was exceptionally kind and welcoming. This was undoubtedly the best holiday we've ever had myself and my partner. The cottage was beautifully decorated and felt like home. We enjoyed a truly magical experience, especially with the wild horses roaming nearby in the mountains; one even approached us at night, allowing me to pet it while it grazed next to our car. It was a surreal moment that we will always cherish. I fell in love with this place instantly and I will be returning again very soon.

    The road leading up to it was full of potholes. Not the easiest of drives in our little Fiat. We did get used to it though and it wasn't a major problem.

    Lovely converted barn. One of three properties. Surrounded by beautiful views. Very clean with everything you could need.

    Nothing to comment on. Claire and Jean have thought of it all.

    The location is absolutely stunning and you really do feel like you have stumbled across a secret. Yes the roads are narrow and slightly bumpy but you are in the Lake District and it has managed to retain its natural beauty. Do expect live stock to be roaming and living their best life without being hurried. We stayed in two of the cottages, they are luxurious with heavenly views. Jean and Claire have been great hosts. We have been home 4 days and already booked to return next year. There is so much to do and see from these farm cottages that I will be recommending them to everyone I know.

    We booked two holiday cottages; one for a single adult and one for four adults. Everyone was delighted with everything. The cottages are comfortable, clean and offer all the facilities you could wish for. Jean and Claire who run the farm and the cottages are wonderful hosts. The location is superb if you like beautiful scenery, a bit of isolation from everyday life and the challenge of driving over the fells and up a long farm track to get there.

    It was a very clean comfortable well appointed property. We were able togo out the door on a walk. The property is maintained to a very high standard. The host is professional and responsive. We highly recommend it is a quieter area than the upper Lakes District. A gem

    The 1/4 mile drive is a bit rough and it's wise not to rush up and down it, but select a path of least pot holes. This can be done.

    Lovely quiet location. Good for exploring the southern lakes and other attractions in the area. A couple of walks from the farm included in the information pack, including one down to Broughton in Furness with it's lovely square. There is a shared lawn to the back of the property with plenty of benches. Jean and Claire helped us out when we realised we had not packed some items, for which we were very grateful.
