Perfect location and neatly presented.

Checking in at 3pm 1st December to be met with a tastefully decorated Christmas tree in the lounge window, similarly decorated mantelpiece and alcoves immediately set the tone. Whoever was instrumental in this should be applauded! So really from there everything was going to be good and we weren’t disappointed.
The cottage is very tastefully appointed, notably window blinds and wall art. The bedding is fantastic, enabling wonderful rest. We expected a little early morning traffic noise due to the super convenient location and main road position but Upvc double glazing and general comfort dealt with this admirably. Private parking in this location is another big plus and 50m to the ‘Golden Rule’ needs a mention.
This was our first booking with Cumbrian Cottage Holidays and the whole process was friendly and very professional.
Big shout out to Gail and of course the secret Christmas tree fairy!
Well done to all concerned.

Everything was great. It was just steps from the center but quiet at night. I’d stay again in a heartbeat!
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
Location of the cottage to town was great, bars and restaurants within 50m highly recommended, downside was the traffic on a very busy roundabout and very noisy cars. The cottage is quaint but ideal for two.
Interior needs a full renovation, not just a spring clean, it needs decoration, renovation and the majority of the furnishings replacing by the next owners. The interior furnishing let this location down, having read many reviews I don’t hold my breath as the sofa has been in need of replacing for at least 2 years.
Sort the damp, mould and furnishings out at this would have been a 4/5 rating.
