10/10 Excellent

A comfortable and relaxing break!

We had a great stay at Thwaite Hill Barn. The cottage is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break. The beds were cosy too. Thornthwaite is a peaceful location and a perfect base for exploring the local walks, yet quiet enough to completely unwind. Cumbrian Cottage Holidays were extremely helpful, and quick to communicate. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better getaway with our furry fiends, who were also made welcome in the local Gallaries tearoom!
