just perfect (would love to live there)
absolutely amazing place, we do travel a lot and normally don't do reviews but this time... probably the best place we ever stayed in... really well equipt and situated on edge of very small village (no shops, no street lights, very friendly locals), just perfect if you want to switch off and take break from stress, this place is for you... perfect location for hikers, cyclists and dogs... we loved every minute spent there... even checked availability to stay week longer but my partner couldn't have off... PS: pictures don't make it justice, that's how pretty it is and i've already recommended this place to few friends

An Oasis of calm
We booked this as a last minute visit to family in the area and we were impressed with the location and the size of the property for two people. Warm, comfortable and so much space for us and our two small dogs. Really well equipped and a welcome of fresh eggs and homemade jams. We will certainly try to book again in the future when the need arises.

Cumbrian peace and quiet
This is a lovely and very spacious cottage with excellent facilities, which was warm and comfortable in every way. It has its own enclosed garden and guests can also access the owners' orchard and small wood which was great for short dog walks. The owners are next door and extremely helpful and kind but not at all intrusive. The little village of Farlam is fine for wandering down the lane to, and Talkin Tarn is a short walk away. Other walks are a short drive away. Highly recommended.

Ideal solitude
An amazing place to stay . The actual accommodation is much bigger than we expected which surprised us as we entered the property. We were greeted by the owner who made us feel very welcome , and then we were left alone but knowing that we could ask for anything we needed . I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this great property if you just want to escape , such a very quiet and peaceful place.

A peaceful getaway in a quality cottage with excellent surroundings for my dog
The cottage exceeded my expectations it was large and spacious with everything you could need. Jenia was around if I needed anything and she was helpful and understanding regarding my recent bereavement. Staying for a week has helped me begin to repair myself and I wish me and my dog could have stayed longer a true home from home. The garden was perfect for my dog as were the orchard and woods, she really enjoyed exploring these.

Excellent location
The cottage is ideally situated on the outskirts of the village and benefits from peace and quiet for a totally relaxing holiday. Surprisingly much more spacious than the photos show. The large secure garden was perfect for letting our dog wander freely with no worries. Many walks on the doorstep but these were along minor roads so dogs need to be on lead but lots of off lead walks a short drive away. Can recommend Gelt Woods, Talkin Fell (cattle for a short distance) and many parts of Hadrian’s wall, again some cattle may be encountered along the route. We had a fabulous meal at The Duke of Cumberland at Castle Carrock and food served all day! Unfortunately we did find the bed extremely uncomfortable and lumpy pillows which need replacing, however well equipped kitchen with everything we needed and nice lounge area. Overall despite the bed our stay was relaxing and enjoyable and Jenia the owner was on hand at all times without being obtrusive.
