"A wonderfully appointed property."
Not in the central Lakes area but only 30-40 mins from anywhere we visited. We walked around Ennerdale and Buttermere lakes, visited the Roman museum in Maryport, Cockermouth, Lattrigg Fell and Keswick. Dog friendly and cosy. Highly recommend.
Thanks for the review and recommendation. We’re pleased that you had a good stay, and look forward to seeing you at some point in the future. Property Owner

"The cottage was exceptionally well fitted and everything worked really well."
It had both radiators in all the rooms as well as a Wood burner. We love the location as it is close to the coast and reasonable driving distances to Keswick , the mountains and lakes. It was a quiet area and away from the touristy places. Amanda and Graeme were very helpful and gave us a lovely welcome gift including dog biscuits and had fresh flowers in the rooms.
Thanks for the review! We'd be delighted to see you again at some point in the future. Property Owner

"We had a fabulous week at Leesrigg Cottage."
After a long drive up from the Midlands, we had a very warm welcome from the owner on arrival. The cottage is beautiful with a lovely garden and was the perfect size for myself, my daughter and our two cairn terriers. It was very cosy and comfortable and equipped with everything we could possibly need for a self catering holiday. Fantastic location for visting the Lake District and the Cumbrian coast. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will definitely stay again.
Thanks for the review! We look forwards to seeing you again. Property Owner

"Superb cottage for 1 to 4 people, Plenty of parking and garden space, Everything you need provided, and very clean and modern, a credit to it's owners Graham and Amanda, who are very helpful."
The cottage's location is perfect, not in the hustle and bustle of the lake district towns, But all easily accessible if required, take a boat trip at Keswick's Derwent water IMO the most scenic of them all, the sea and Carlisle are not far away. A great cottage and area to chill out. Book it, You will enjoy it.

"We really enjoyed our recent stay to this lovely cottage."
It was really clean and modern, everything we needed was provided. Lovely welcome from the owners who are really helpful and provided lots of added extras. Beautiful kept gardens which were great to sit out in and enjoy the sun. Great walks which our dogs loved and plenty to do to keep the children entertained.
-
"This cottage was perfect for what we wanted: to be outside the busy areas of the Lake District yet close enough to visit some of the local hills with just a short drive."
It is also <10 minutes drive from Aspatria which has shops and a train connection to Carlisle (great bookshop and Castle) and the coast (we'd recommend the coastal path walk from St. Bee's to Whitehaven as a pleasant change from all those hills in the Lake District)
-
"Lovely cosy cottage"
-
"Beautiful cottage, very clean and well presented."
Ideally positioned to explore coast, Lake District and Hadrians Wall areas. Owners were helpful when approached.
-
"Beautifully presented and absolutely spotless, dog friendly cottage with a lovely garden, backing onto a field of cows, which delighted our 10 year old daughter!"
There’s ample parking and the owners, who live next door, are very helpful but not invasive, so you’d hardly know they were there. Nice welcome pack with bread, milk etc. Good location within easy reach of various lakes and attractions.
-
"The cottage is really clean and cosy with everything we needed for our stay."
One of the great things about the cottage is a truly amazing garden which my children loved playing in. In the end we had a disappointing holiday due to a car mishap which meant we couldn’t travel into the Lake District as we originally planned. Public transport would normally have been an option but we were reluctant because of Covid. The owners were really helpful and friendly, they found a walk we could do in the immediate area, offered to drive us into Keswick one day and found some outdoor toys to entertain the children in the garden. I would really recommend the cottage and if it wasn’t for the car mishap, I’m sure our holiday would have been great.

"Fantastic location within easy reach of The Lake District National Park."
lovely cottage and hosts Amanda and Graeme who live next door were there to offer local advice and guidance but never imposed upon you.Nice complimentary food essentials left for us on arrival and wood burner set up ready to light. Weather was unfortunately not good but the standard and comfort of the cottage more than made up for this. Would definitely recommend it and will look to go again!! Many Thanks. Bob, Carol, Eleanor and Inca.

"Lovely cottage with everything that you would need."
Some lovely walks for the doggies. In a rural location with pub in walking distance. Will need a car for the shops.

"The cottage was everything we expected and more."
We would say it's in a good location if you wish to tour round the area. Amanda and Graeme are very helpful and have provided a lovely home from home for a great holiday experience in Cumbria.

"The cottage is immaculate and beautiful."
The owners have thought of everything to make the place home from home and are really friendly . Loved everything about it
-
"This is an excellent cottage in lovely gardens, beautifully equipped and furnished, with practical non-carpeted floors downstairs - ideal for dogs."
The owners live next door, on hand should there be any problems. Ask Amanda if she has eggs available from her hens. Location-wise it is ideal for exploring the northern Lake District, with Carlisle, Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith in easy travelling distance, also the Roman sites further east. We had concerns with the practicality of the wash basins (more stylish than useable) and passed this on to the owners - may not be a problem for other users. We would stay there again.

"Ticks every box for us we loved it"
-
"The cottage was amazing, clean and comfortable."
It was a home from home everything needed was supplied even basics like tea coffee milk bread. The owners were welcoming and we had a very relaxing 5 days with our teenage daughter's and dog. Would highly recommend this property if you are looking at visiting the Lake district. We drove to different places each day the property is quite central to most tourist attractions. Fantastic holiday had by all.
