Lovely homely cottage, very clean with everything you need for a break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life it was a bonus to have the conservatory to relax in and watch the birds, cows and sheep. The dog enjoyed sitting and looking out too 😊 Very friendly hosts who gave us lots of information about the local area, and left a lovely welcome pack.Would definitely recommend and we will be back 🧑‍🤝‍🧑🐾

Excellent little cottage to base our Lake District holiday from.

Excellent little cottage to base our Lake District holiday from. Very friendly owners, cottage has everything you need in it for 2 people. Lots of local walks. Sunday dinner in the Heather Glen hotel, which is walking distance, was very good. Local pub, the Fox & Pheasant, is 1.2 miles away in Armathwaite, nice food and friendly staff, however I do not recommend walking there on the road, which has no footpath, as the local tractors move very fast and consider the entire road their domain! Easy access to the Settle-Carlisle railway via Armathwaite station. There is free parking in the station and many places in the village to park if it happened to be full.
