A stunning location under Skiddaw. The house was very warm and comfortable despite freezing conditions outside. Fantastic walking from the door, with the open land to the back of the house giving great options off established paths. A memorable experience in a beautiful part of Cumbria.

The location was so romantic. From the road, you drive down a single track Farm driveway, opening and closing gates for the car on your way, to keep the sheep from wandering between fields. If narrow roads put you off, maybe it isn't for you though!
Only the wi-fi, which didn't reach across the property well. Also note that you may not get a standard mobile signal, although of course this is nothing which the host can do anything about.

Fantastic view of Lake District hill and waterfall. The house is the only one in the valley on the northern side of Skiddaw and is very quiet with no traffic noise. A wild flower meadow immediately in front of it is full of insects.and is used by a hare. Well equipped kitchen and enormous bath. It is an old building which is full of character.

Absolutely amazing views. Quiet farmhouse stay in beautiful surroundings. Kids loved the sheep and chickens. Nice walk to the waterfall.
Frying pan and other utensils should be changed. Cleaning could be better but otherwise all was perfect!

This was our third visit to the Dash Farmhouse, we visited twice in 2014 and have wanted to return ever since. We finally made it back for a five night stay last week. The farmhouse is exceptional in every way, the cosiness, the comfy beds and sitting areas, the old farmhouse style kitchen, the underfloor heating but it’s the views and the location that are just simply wow. The owners have created something truly special at the Dash, once you’ve been you’ll never forget it. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone especially those who need a place that provides complete peace and solitude.
Couple more wine glasses would have been nice and an extra tea towel but who cares about that really.

The location is stunning. We have been lots of times before and just love it. The views, the house, the gorgeous walks. Everything you want for a relaxing holiday.
There is nothing I don’t like about this place.

What a unique, quirky and charming place to spend a couple of days with a group of old friends. The house was so clean and beautifully presented brimming with character. It was so cosy with the underfloor heating, two shower rooms, huge bath and fully equipped kitchen. The views were beautiful and included chickens, lambs and sheep free of charge.
The range top was hard to navigate as there were no numbers on the dial but I figured out the bottom left was medium heat

It was probably the most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed! We loved everything about the cosy farmhouse and the gorgeous surrounding mountains.

The location was wonderful, with views of the mountains and a great sense of isolation from the troubles of the world.
Some aspects of the inside are looking and feeling “tired”. The information booklet about the property needs an update.

amazing place as always. fantastic views. beautiful house.
the road is extremely bumpy far worse than it was. think it needs levelling a little. or advise to use 4x4 car etc. I have an Audi and it scraped along the ground a lot. nothing else is bad at all. just be mindful with your car!

Incredible location, spacious, authentic and unpretentious. A real gem.
The kitchen and appliances needed a thorough deep clean and tidy-up of all pots, pans, tiling and a jolly good clear out of junk and broken pans behind the curtains. A washable turtle mat for in front of the Aga would be better than an old thick dirty rug. Foam toppers on beds just felt a bit odd. But really the kitchen frustrated me. I don’t want to wash up greasy pans from previous guests.

I liked everything. It was amazing. The house was clean, warm and fully equipped. Really comfortable. An amazing place with beautiful views. Peace and quiet. There you can really relax. And while sitting in front of the house you can watch the sunset.

The house is in a huge field ,away from others. You wake up in morning and a sheep is in your garden eating grass. Look outside and see chickens, hens, cows , a true experience of life in a farm!!
The house is huge and renovated beautifully with vintage furniture's. They still have video player!!! and dvd player !!! feels like you are back in time in a good way :). Kitchen is well equipped!. I loved that we had a dryer!!
The roads to the house is very narrow, do not arrive at night time!!!
