"A lovely small holiday let which had everything needed for a very comfortable stay."
The Welcome Pack was a bonus, I hadn't expected - thank you! I loved the remote location which was ideally situated for walks on the Northern Fells. Lovely and quiet in the evenings. Just a mile from Caldbeck, which was very handy. Thank you Andrea & Tim for your kindness and warm welcome - much appreciated!

"A lovely week in a well equipped, very comfortable cottage which is perfectly situated with a beautiful outlook."
Our hosts Tim & Andrea were friendly, informative and helpful but never intrusive. Great walks from the doorstep. The mile walk along the river to Caldbeck is pretty and mostly flat with Dippers and Grey Wagtails bobbing along. Caldbeck has a couple of cafes, a local shop and a pub serving good food and even better ales. Would definitely recommend.

"The Annexe at The Watch House is a lovely place to stay to explore the North Lakes."
The property is well furnished, well equipped, warm and very comfortable.
The location is beautiful and peaceful with excellent walks and cycle rides available from the doorstep. The local village is close and has a good pub, cafe and small local shop.
The host, Tim, is very hospitable and provides for every need.
I would recommend staying here. You will be pleased with your choice.

"Friendly owners provide a very comfortable, smart and well equipped property in walking distance of Caldbeck village (20 minute brisk walk)."
The village has a friendly pub serving food along with a couple of very pleasant cafes. A short drive (or longer walk) takes you to Hesket Newmarket with the excellent Old Crown, one of the original community pubs, selling its own beer and home cooked food. Walks are available from the door and many others are only a short drive away, as is Keswick, which delivers further options along with the full shopping experience! The North Lakes feel less busy than their southern counterparts, while still deliverving beautiful contryside with great walking routes. Give them a try!

"We stayed here for a short break Friday till Monday, the property it's self was great!"
Better than described! It was super clean and fresh probably the cleanest property I have visited. The views from the bedroom and lounge are beautiful. The owners Tim and Andrea are so welcoming, friendly and approachable, nothing was too much! When we arrived it was snowing so the journey was a little rough on the lanes however, when we arrived Tim came out in the snow to make sure we were okay, They also had the Annex pre heated which was lovely to walk into with the cold snowy weather outside.
I would also recommend this property if you are wanting to relax and recharge but also if you love walking there are some beautiful areas to explore.
We will 100% be staying again and are already looking for dates :)
Thank you so much Tim & Andrea! We look forward to coming back.

"All round excellent."
A very cosy, clean and well maintained cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location. The owners, Tim and Andrea, could not have been more helpful - and the welcome pack of the essentials was great to have. The location is excellent with one of the best short walks that I've been on starting 50 yards from the front door and stunning panoramic views just a 3 minute drive. Easy access to the sea, the Lakes and Carlisle.

"Location - great
Hosts - great
Local pub food - great (the steak pie was absolutely superb!"
)
Within easy reach of all the natural beauty of the area, and lungs full of fresh clean air, I'd recommend Swaledale to anyone for a short break or longer stay - we were there only for two days but the accommodation was comfortable, clean, and well equipped so longer stays would be no problem. We'll likely be back in the area next year and will be hoping availability suits us!

"This was a great find!"
Immaculately clean and very comfortable, we loved the views over the fells from both the lounge and bedroom windows and
enjoyed watching the cows and sheep graze. The owners were very welcoming and gave us helpful information about the area. We especially loved the walk along the beck right from the door, with a delicious lunch at the other end. The surrounding area was very lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our visits to Keswick (Derwentwater) and Ullswater.
