The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed for our short break. The upside down arrangement really does make the most of the stunning countryside views. There are walks from the doorstep and a great pub 10 minutes down the road.

The perfect getaway for it all
Loved this hideaway cottage - it had everything we needed, and walking distance to a wonderful pub. Great for walking and truly getting away from it all. Come prepared, as nearest shop is a long way away - but that is part of the magic! Loved it - and will return.

Great location
Lovely views. Small but well designed kitchen/sitting room. Bathroom worked well but towel rail is either fiercely hot or turned off. We are usually ok with log stoves but found it difficult to get this one to burn well, and the electric heaters did not want to respond to override (remotely controlled by app?), so on cold days the room was a bit chilly for comfort.

Great stay away from it all
A great little cottage for two, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very quiet area, yet within 10 minutes walk of a great pub / restaurant and 10 minutes drive to Reeth, a wonderful village with numerous amenities. And the views from the cottage were as advertised, wonderful when the sun shined - which it did most of the week.

The cottage was stunning with amazing views. It was so quiet and warm. Surrounding areas are breathtaking. Definitely need a torch if it's dark on arrival. The cottage was clean and very cosy. It is maintained to a high standard. Definitely going to be booking again as the cottage and location really made our honeymoon special. Thank you so much ❤
