• "Lovely property."

  Owner was really helpful. Would be worth mentioning that shower gel isn’t provided but other toiletries are. Creaky flooring upstairs was a little noisy. Surrounding villages and walks were lovely. Lots of games, puzzles, dvd’s provided by the owner.

  So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and that you found the selection of games, puzzles and dvd's useful and entertaining. Kind regards, John & Jen Property Owner

• "Loved the house."

  We were exploring the lakes and the Yorkshire Dales and this was a great location. The house itself was fantastic and had everything we could have wanted. It was dog friendly and had an EV charger, and all the owner asked was for us to leave an honesty amount to cover the cost of charging the car. We would certainly be happy to go back here again

  Thank you very much for your positive review. We chose the property because of its location being equidistant between the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District and the North Pennines AONB. Thank you for your E.V. contribution. John & Jen Property Owner

  Everything else in the cottage was just perfect, a great place to stay. John

• "We enjoyed our stay and do plan a return visit."

  My main suggestion would be to have a fan available to help cool the lounge. The house is a modern new build with excellent insulation. As a consequence of this it gets extremely warm, even with the French doors and windows open. A pedestal fan would have made a huge difference to our comfort. FYI - The village pub is closed at present for refurbishment.

  Thank you very much for your 100/100 score. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and are planning a return visit. The house has an air source heat pump and has to be well insulated, which is appreciated in winter, but perhaps not in the rare occasions when we get hot weather in summer! We will consider leaving a pedestal fan for next summer. John & Jen Property Owner

• "The property was exactly as described."

  It was in an area where there was lots to do, visit or see.

  Thank you very much for your positive feedback. We chose the location of the property because of its proximity to both the Yorkshire Dales, and Lake District as well as the North Pennines AoONB. John & Jen Property Owner

• "Wow! Amazing property, has everything you could possibly need and so clean, stairs may be a concern for older people but fine for us."

  The little village though no amenities is so quiet, well kept and the locals are really friendly plus only 10 mins drive each way to either Appleby or Kirkby Stephen which have everything you could need. We would highly recommend.

  Thank you very much for your kind comments about the cottage they are much appreciated. I’m glad you were able to make use of the EV charger. I understand they have started to renovate the local pub, I’m sure that will be a welcome return to the village when it re-opens! John & Jen Property Owner

  It really is home from home everything just works for us, the layout, parking and of course the lovely view at the back. We also had a really positive interaction with the owner who was very considerate and cooperative. It was really appreciated. This was our third stay and hopefully many more to follow all being well. Thank you so much for your kindness too.

  Hi Joann, Thank you so much for your positive comments and feedback about your recent stay at 5 the Old Sawmill. Looking forward to welcoming you back (again) in November! Best wishes, John & Jen Property Owner

• "The best Cottage we have stayed in !"

  ! EVER. This Property has all the things we require for a relaxing stay, comfortable sofas that you can lounge and read on. Super quality beds and an enclosed garden for our dogs. Spotlessly clean with quality furnishings and fixtures and is even better in person than the photographs on website its usually the other way round. The Cottage is in a quiet location and easy reach of local villages 5 miles away along the A66. We have booked again for this year and next.

  Wow! Thank you so much for your perfect review and glowing comments...and you have re-booked the cottage...thanks. John & Jen Property Owner

  Lovely views out to the back. Everything was to hand and there was no need to wonder where things were or how they worked. Easy parking. Nice local footpaths for dog walking, and also close to lots of great long distance footpaths. Both Kirkby Stephen and Appleby not far away for other amenities.

  Thank you very much for your kind and positive comments about the cottage. Good to know that you were able to find everything you needed and you enjoyed the local walks and visiting the local area. Best wishes, John & Jen. Property Owner

• "We had a great stay and the cottage was absolutely lovely!"

  It is even nicer in real life than the pictures and done to a high standard. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking etc and the sofas and bed were very comfy. The only feedback I would say is that when we arrived the house was very hot and even with the doors open for a bit we had a very warm first night. The surroundings were beautiful and we had some nice walks. We would definitely return!

  Thank you very much for your kind and positive comments. It's possible the previous guests to you had left the room thermostats turned up high. There is underfloor heating downstairs and it takes a little longer to cool down after the thermostats have been turned down. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again.

• "Great little cottage."

  The big living room/kitchen was ideal for a group holiday - no one felt left out when it was their turn to cook! The kitchen was the best equipped I've ever come across in a holiday rental, the beds were comfortable, the shower hot and powerful and the lovely view from the sociable outside space was a bonus. Could not have asked for more. The wifi went down when we were there, I contacted the owner and he could not have been more helpful or efficient in getting it sorted for us.

  Thank you for your very complimentary review. Glad to hear that the layout of the cottage works well for entertaining. I must thank Vodafone & Openreach for fixing the local fault in the village with the Wi-fi so quickly. John & Jen Property Owner

• "The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable and is well situated for the lakes and places like Barnard Castle."

  The weather was not so good, but we did get sunny periods between showers and packed a lot into our 5 night stay. There was the annual Warcop Rush Bearing parade, with a procession of crown and rushbearers (local school children) through the village, accompanied by a brass band. Only real criticism is that the lounge TV could do with an upgrade - no Sky or ability to stream / set up things like Netflix, so evenings / bad weather times were a bit dull.

  Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. It is indeed ideally situated for trips to the Lake District as well as the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines AONB. It was a bonus that there was an annual village parade held during your stay. I will look at upgrading the smart TV...to an even smarter model for the future! Kind regards, John & Jen Property Owner

  I have never stayed in a rented house which was so clean. Very well equipped with everything you would need. Warcop is about 10 min drive to Kirby Stephen where there is plenty of shops pubs etc. Only 30 mins from the wonders of Butter Tubs pass and all that the Yorkshire Dales has to offer Highly recommended

  Thank you very much for your positive comments. The changeover clean is very important and what we are probably most judged on, we will pass on your comments to our regular cleaner whom I'm sure will appreciate that. The EV Charger is something that is becoming more and more relevant as the nation gradually changes over to EV cars. Kind regards, John & Jen Property Owner

• "The Beds was a little small and the under floor heating didn't get very warm but apart from that it was brilliant."

  Thank you for your feedback comments about your recent stay at the cottage. We did consider putting in King size beds, but thought that regular double beds would take up less space and still be suitable for the bedrooms. The underfloor heating is powered by an air source heat pump, and although it can take a little longer than radiators to warm up, the house is very well insulated, so it will retain the heat longer. Glad you thought you stay was still brilliant! John & Jen Property Owner

  Everything you would expect in a holiday house was provided. There is a very pleasant patio area at the back with a lovely view over farmland and, in June, a beautiful wildflower meadow. The owners were very accommodating about arrival and check out. Warcop is an attractive village - pity the pub is closed down. We had the added bonus of Romany caravans and their horses on their way to Appleby. There is a very pretty stretch of river, great for young children, a short walk away.

  Thank you very much for your positive feedback. We hope that the Warcop village pub renovations will be completed and that the pub re-opens. There is a nice pub, The Sandford Arms, in the next village of Sandford. Plus there are several good pubs (I know!) in the nearby towns of Kirby Stephen and Appleby-in-Westmorland.

  Lovely spot and plenty to do within a short drive. Literally the only thing I would do to improve it would be to add a side gate to keep dogs/children secure. Couldn't fault it at all and hope to one day return. Made good use of the board games and even relaxed enough to read a couple of books from the book case. Can highly reccomend a drink in the 'Taggy Man' in Kirby Stephen and a full English or stack of pancakes in Lily's cafe in Appleby. Had a lovely day out on Ullswater Lake "Ullswater Steamers" leaving from Pooley Bridge: must book in advance as well as a day out in Durham. Stocked up on all shopping in Appleby, Low Howgill butchers and the green grocers next door were fab.
