Appleby-in-Westmorland cottages

Super space. Comfortable accommodations. Lovely back garden with a red squirrel visitor and lots of bird song. Great walks from the door with neighbouring Kirkby Stephen easily accessed by foot path or car for shopping. Ample parking space that is easy to access. Quiet. We very much enjoyed our stay

There should really be a bonus star that we can award! We enjoyed our stay so, so much. From the moment we arrived, with such a warm welcome, to the moment we left, with heavy hearts and a tear in the eye. Amanda & Gareth were the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much for them, but they allowed us plenty of privacy too. We enjoyed their company immensely though, so were happy to have long chats. The fact they shared their beautiful dogs with us only increased our enjoyment. We'll miss them all. The barn is a delight - well presented and with everything you could need - very comfortable. The location is amazing - far reaching, magnificent, pastoral views. It's a beautiful area with lovely towns and lots of historical interest. You could not do better than choose Owl Retreat for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. Many, many thanks to Amanda, Gareth, Pip and Lottie for a wonderful week. Paul & Martin.
