Katrina’s cottage was absolutely wonderful. It’s a short hop from many villages within the national park and also had many places close by to get groceries, fuel etc. There are lots of sites and attractions to visit close by to the cottage as well. The cottage itself is beautiful, and Katrina included a cute gift basket for us. The cottage was very clean and had all the necessities you would need for your stay. Katrina also provided a lovely guide with all the key things you need to know about the cottage and the local area. We had a lovely short stay and would definitely come back again!

Unique cottage in gorgeous village

The house was very unique. It was a lovely setting in a village that is busy by day but deathly quiet at night. Parking is tricky and the road through the village is extremely narrow but once you've navigated that, it was perfect for us.

A trip to see friends

This property is very quaint and has lots of character. The kitchen is well equipped. It was lovely to have a real fire most nights. Very handy to see the lakes and our friends who live in the village.

2 night stay in cosy cottage in Warton

We as a family of 4 and our whippet puppy had a lovely 2 night stay in Penny Post Cottage, it was lovely and clean and had everything we could want and need to make our stay perfect. We loved the character and the charm of the interior and the little garden was great to sit out with a cuppa when the weather allowed...! In all a comfortable stay in a charming cottage.. Thank you katrina for your communication prior to arrival and your speedy response to my messages.. We'll be returning one day..

Penny Post Cottage

A lovely property with lots of original features and charm. Looks small from the outside but is deceivingly spacious. Everything you need, we’ll appointed and very cosy. Great location in a small village and well placed for all surrounding attractions. Decent beer and food in the Malt Shovel - 5 mins walk. Good walks up Warton Crag and just a short distance from RSPB Leighton Moss. Would definitely visit again.

Pefect property

This beautiful cottage has everything and more for your stay. Location is perfect for exploring the lake district, the coast and Lancaster. We were so comfortable and blessed with the weather, so we could sit outside on the lovely seating area. Never have we stayed anywhere with everything we could possibly need until here. Lovely friendly place too, and I once again wish to thank Katrina for the birthday surprises for my daughter, a massive hit.
