Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage. We thouroughly enjoyed our visit. The house was gorgeous, so much space and light and had all the features you need to have a happy and enjoyable stay. Gorgeous views from every window and especially loved seeing the cattle and sheep in the nearby fields every morning at breakfast. There was loads of space outside to enjoy the gardens and sunhouse and the showers and whirlpool bath were a welcome site after a hard day on the fells. Highly recommended and much appreciated. Thank you!

This was our 4th stay at this wonderful property, and we are booked to return in the autumn.The location is perfect for us - secluded, yet only a 12 minute drive to Keswick, and 25 minutes to Ambleside.It's the best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in!

Property located in St John’s in the Vale, a beautiful quiet valley just 4 miles from Keswick. Gill and Duncan are wonderful hosts providing you with everything you can think of and then more. We have stayed more times than I can remember now, and the standard is always superb. I can’t recommend this property enough!

Just enjoyed our third stay at Bram Cragg and have no hesitation in recommending this as a wonderful holiday choice. The cottage is so cosy and comfortable with amazing views. Gillian and Duncan are perfect hosts, very welcoming and there if you need them. We have also stayed in one of their lodges and this was of an equally high standard. Hope to be able to return next year.

Had the most amazing stay, the cottage was absolutely lovely, warm, clean, fantastic views and had everything you needed home from home. Gill the host was lovely. This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in for cleanliness and perfect bedding. Everything about the cottage was of high standard.

We have been regular visitors to Bram Cragg and its related properties for several years often coming 3 or 4 times a year. We come back because we always know that we will get a warm welcome to a charming property in one of the loveliest valleys in the Lake District. The properties are always clean and well prepared and equipped to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Try it, you’re missing out if you don’t!

We love staying at this property. It was our third visit in 3 years, and we fully intend to book again next year. Bram Cragg Cottage is perfectly located in a rural setting, yet only 12 minutes from Keswick. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms it is perfect for a family with children, or for two couples. The views from all rooms, (and even more from the garden and summer house) are wonderful!

We have stayed here and the lodges a few times now due to the excellent standard of the holiday accommodation its location and the beautiful walks nearby. There is everything you need for your stay at the Cottage the beds are comfortable and the property is warm and inviting and on a nice day you can sit out and view the lovely picturesque scenery around you whilst drinking a local libation. The Hosts are very accommodating and we will definitely be back hopefully later in the year.

The cottage felt like a real home from home and it is really well positioned to visit Ullswater and Windermere as well as Keswick. There is a very nice outside space with a swing and summer house and views across the valley. The kitchen was really well equipped. We would definitely like to come again.

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful setting. So many walks directly from the cottage. Close enough for the convenience that Keswick offers but secluded enough for a tranquil break.

Brilliant week at Bram Cragg Cottage. We were surprised at how big the cottage was and it had everything we needed. We stayed in February and the weather was mixed but the cottage was always warm and cosy. It’s centrally located within easy reach of Keswick and Grasmere. Would highly recommend. Thank you Gillian and Duncan!

Gill and Duncan are first class hosts. Not obtrusive but always there if you need them. Their property is always warm, clean and spacious. Now, these traits can be found at a lot of properties, but it is the extra special touches that Bram Crag offers that separates it from the others. We stayed in December ( for about the sixth or seventh time this year) and there was a beautiful Christmas tree and lights up the stairs. Gill has maps, guide books and little personal touches around the house that all link in so well to the area they are situated in and the farmland surrounding them. The cupboards are stocked with some essentials that you always forget and some you would never think of too. Examples would be milk, butter, oil, tea bags, tin foil amongst many. You can walk from the door and Clough Head is one of the best kept secrets of the Lake District if you like a climb. Overall this is a fantastic place to stay made better by the hosts and many significant extras such as Sky Sports for sports fans. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Completely enjoyed the week. Cottage was immaculate and clean and had everything. Really easy check in and out, owners really nice, great location for visiting the lakes and amazing views. Will definitely look to rebook. Possibly the best accommodation weve stayed in. Would recommend.

This was our second visit to this wonderful property, and we are already booked to come back next year! It is most certainly the best holiday rental we have ever stayed in (and there have been quite a few over the years). Great facilities for a family, or for a group of friends. It is both remote with outstanding views, which we wanted, but close to Keswick which is only a 12 minute drive. From start to finish, a wonderful property with very welcoming hosts. See you next year!

Absolutely wonderful location and property. A dream home for a week with my family. We enjoyed every minute. I still cant get over the view from the house. Everything you could need in the property and no problems at all. Thank you for a wonderful stay. The weather was a dream too! 😍

Lovely cottage in a nice quiet area. Spacious, clean and well equipped. The views from the cottage are amazing and there was plently of space for the kids to play, the field was fantastic. We really enjoyed our week there. The two collie's Bonnie and Fly were a highlight, popping up outside the kitchen window to say Hi, and fantastic around the kids.

We had a wonderful few days at Bram Cragg. The property is set in a stunning location with mountain views from every window. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Gillian had left some fresh milk and tea and coffee and a couple of other treats which was a lovely, thoughtful touch. The house is clean and tidy and very spacious. We have stayed in many holiday homes but this was definitely the best of them all. We loved getting our morning greeting from Bonnie and Fly and miss them popping to say hello. We highly recommend Bram Cragg and will be returning in the future.

This is the perfect cottage for a family - our young children (7 and 3) loved all the games and had great fun with the dogs. I’ve stayed all over the lakes and this is the best location for getting around, not that you really need to as there are such stunning views right on the doorstep…We will definitely be returning and are already planning our next visit to Bram Cragg!

Great quiet location a few miles outside Keswick so away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to nip into town. Easy access to Ambleside and Penrith too without having to go through Keswick. The cottage had everything we needed and was a great place to relax inside and out. My daughter loved the playful antics of the owners' two collies, Bonnie and Fly!
