The location is superb for walks directly from the cottage.

"Property was amazing, visited in 2020 when we were out of lockdown and needed to visit again to truly appreciate the area, we were not disappointed."
Property was clean, comfortable and well equipped. We were blessed with amazing weather, we walked miles and had a fantastic break.

"Loved our stay in this amazing place which is set in a stunning location with incredible views."
The property is immaculately kept and exceptionally clean, beautifully presented and appointed. The stunning kitchen has plenty of utensils with a good selection of teas, coffees, and the bottle of wine, milk, scones jam and butter were very welcome. Downstairs the bedroom is very comfortable with a good size bathroom and great shower as well as a useful utility room. Lots of wonderful walks, super local pub and wonderful friendly hosts. We will be back!

"Wow - what a great spot !"
Despite us going in peak season, this part of the Lakes was lovely and quiet. We took some bikes, parked the car on arrival and didn't need to drive until we left 7 days later :-) The property had everything - excellent layout and design; fine, quiet location; a lovely, large lawned area with the iconic cedar tree; views; peaceful; wildlife; great swimming, walking, running and cycling (on and off road); lovely hosts; free to walk around their lakes and see their trees, plants, swans, ducks, moorhens, horses; nice touches with scones, milk and wine on arrival; all facilities were high quality, including induction hobs, oven, microwave, fine cookware, crockery and cutlery, S&P grinders, cafetiere, coffee pod machine, fridge, freezer, great showers and bath etc etc. An excellent pub was within a short walking distance. Hope to visit again !

We'll equipped and very clean.Looking forward to returning.

"A stunning location for this property with marvellous fell views and surrounding countryside."
The property is fairly compact but beautifully equipped and furnished, making it deservedly very popular. This part of the lakes is quieter than many and has excellent mountain landscapes and three of the best lakes all in easy reach.

"Exactly as last year absolutely brilliant accommodation and location."
Clean tidy everything you could need. Welcome pack much appreciated the scones were lovely. Great walks straight from the cottage. Used the car only twice to visit Cockermouth and Ennerdale Water. Kirkstile Inn didn’t disappoint either. We will certainly return, thank you Ross and Sue great hosts.
-
"Beautiful, warm and comfortable cottage in idyllic location - would like to rebook for another stay."
It may seem picky but a better nights sleep would be aided if the dripping tap in the kitchen and the rattly air vent in the bathroom could be fixed. These are minor things and did not detract from our stay.
-
"Amazing stay, loved every minute of it"
-
"Lovely cottage,nice quality furniture and appliances."
Wine and scones a lovely surprise. Scenery outstanding,surrounding area adjacent to farm great and very peaceful.My wife loved the horses! A few suggested maintenance issues to sort, that the owner may not be aware of. The bathroom extractor fan is very noisy and runs for ages! Suggest a note by the bath to explain that you cannot have a hot bath with the hot tap on full.You need to reduce the flow otherwise the water is ‘luke warm’ The temperature in the bedroom was very hot when we arrived and difficult to modulate.Both upstairs and downstairs underfloor heating is on 24/7.This is waste of energy and adds unnecessary expense for the owner. Overall a brilliant place for a relaxing holiday.

"Lovely stay."
Great location. The boiler was leaking and no hot water for two nights but the owners arranged a plumber and made a gesture of compensation at the end of our stay, which was appreciated. Good quality fixtures and fittings, really well equipped. Think there could be a little more attention to detail. Chipped plates, dripping kitchen tap, a tile piece loose around the base of the shower tray but the welcome of wine and scones, was a nice touch. Even had a knock on the door and the offer of some candles, during a power cut. I would highly recommend a stay. Thank you Sue and Ross.
-
"We really liked our staying in your wonderful, comfortable cottage."
We will not soon forget the quiet and lovely view of the Lebanese Cedar tree! Such a sight for sore eyes! We hope to return in the future.
-
"Cedar Nook is situated on a working farm with lovely views all around."
It is in a great location for exploring the northern lakes with good access to Cockermouth, Keswick, many good walks and pubs with good food nearby. It deserves its 5* rating as everything inside was high quality and very comfortable. Thank you for sharing it.
-
"Cedar Nook is small but perfectly designed."
Nice decor, good facilities and set in beautiful gardens. The location and views are stunning. Lots of lovely local walks nearby and we enjoyed several meals within walking distance at the local pub - the Kirkstile Inn.
-
"Ideal location with stunning views."
Lots of walk from the doorstep. The property was immaculate, the owners Ross & Sue have certainly gone that extra mile. Very relaxing holiday.
-
"The owners were very friendly and welcoming, They had left very nice scones and a bottle of wine, which was appreciated."
The property was excellent and had a beautiful outlook.
-
"We had a fabulous week at Cedar Nook and whilst the listing is totally accurate, the whole holiday exceeded our expectations."
The owners were very welcoming and friendly but also respected our privacy. The weather for us was pretty grim, but the cottage is spacious and very comfortable, with everything you could possibly need, so we would have been perfectly happy staying indoors if we'd wanted to. However, the location is equally magnificent, with plenty of walking from the door and stunning scenery, not to mention a few very good pubs in close proximity. We would highly recommend a stay here.
-
"We have just enjoyed the most wonderful week at Cedar Nook."
The accommodation is excellent in terms of its location and facilities. Sue and Ross are extremely friendly and helpful and it was lovely to receive homemade scones and a nice bottle of wine on arrival. Cedar Nook is a short 10 minute walk to the Kirkstile Inn that we would highly recommend. It is also located close to some excellent Lakeside walks on Crummock and Loweswater. We absolutely loved our stay so much that we have already booked for next year.
-
"Fantastic cottage with everything you need."
Lovely views and great walking from the door. Can't wait to revisit next year.
-
"Beautiful property and location."
The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The welcoming extras (scones, wine, milk) were an added bonus as were the amazing eggs from their own free-range hens! I would thoroughly recommend this property.

Everything you need for a peaceful relaxing break

"This is a fabulous property right in the heart of the western Lake District."
Right up there with the best properties we have ever stayed at. The hosts were exceptional and helpful. The fell walks in this area are brilliant, and the property is within easy walking distance to the Kirkstile Inn. The renovated barn has all the modern amenities whilst still maintaining its charm, with great views.
-
"Fantastic cottage, lovely and warm throughout, everything we needed, lovely welcome pack of wine, milk, tea, coffee and homemade scones, Welcoming and friendly hosts, we will definitely return to this amazing cottage."
-
"A beautiful, luxurious cottage with stunning views."
Owners Sue & Ross have thought of everything. A superb comfortable bed, luxury bathroom with plush towels. The underfloor heating keeps the cottage warm and cosy. The upstairs living area has a fabulous kitchen and beautiful wooden floor. One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Lots of walks nearby and within a 10 minute walk to the Kirkstile Inn. A great base. Would highly recommend.

"Cedar Nook is perfect in every way."
This was our second visit and we are already planning our third! Love the fact that you can walk from the cottage door and there is such a range of walks. This is truly one of our happy places.

"What a perfect week in lovely Cedar Nook, Welcomed by lovely dogs and comforting wine and scones and a lovely underfloor heating system."
I was then spoilt by the weather of continuous days of sun, cold and snow. Walked all local fells and only drove once to local shop to buy a nice roll and lovely steak pie .. Ate in the lovely Kirkstile Inn on a number of nights - just a 10min walk away. and a lovely large bath to relax and soak the aching limbs after the cold climbs each day.. Thank you

"Lovely cottage in beautiful location."
-
"This was our second stay at Cedar Nook and it lived up to our expectations again."
The scones and bottle of wine were greatly appreciated! The property is very comfortable and contains everything we need for a week’s self catering stay. Ross and Sue are lovely welcoming hosts. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and at the time of year we stayed (late October) lovely and peaceful. Thoroughly recommended.

"Third time we’ve stayed so that says a lot."
Great location for walking. Facilities are just what you need for a pleasant stay. Shower is so powerful. Cannot think of anything to improve it.
-
"Our second visit but hopefully not our last."
We love Cedar Nook. The combination of the fabulous location and very comfortable accommodation can't be beaten in our opinion. Love the gorgeous horses and we're missing seeing them from the window (and feeding them a daily carrot).
-

"Another great stay at Cedar Nook!"
It was always our desire to return after a previous November stay to enjoy longer days in the spring. We were certainly rewarded with some beautiful weather. The cottage retains all the charm we remembered and it’s remote location provides a peaceful oasis in the north Lakeland fells.
-
"Cedar Nook is a lovely little cottage for two, beautifully furnished with very high quality amenities."
The views from the cottage are amazing and it is perfectly located to explore the Lakes whilst being in a quieter area off the busiest tourist track. We loved simply having breakfast in the garden, watching the horses and the weather changing across the landscape. We would love to visit again.

-
"Cedar Nook is very highly recommended - location is fabulous and it has amazing views."
Such a bonus to have a pub within walking distance too. This isn't an area we have previously visited but it is so much to offer and we couldn't do it justice as unfortunately one of us broke an ankle badly so we had to return home early. However we've already booked for next autumn, so taken were we with the property and the area. The owners have provided everything possible to ensure a comfortable stay. We loved the horses there!
-
"Just booked again for next year."
This place is top notch, sparkly clean, comfortable bed and sofa, wow views, dark skies and friendly owners. We appreciated the light and tasty scones with a cuppa after a long drive, along some wine and fresh flowers during our stay - nice touch. Great pub short walk away, yes you can walk to it after a long day in the fells. Thanks for sharing you great property.

Quality of furnishings and decor - spot on. Shower - stunning. The bed was the most comfortable we have slept in away from home. R and S are delightful hosts and S's scones were 11/10! All in all, we couldn’t have chosen a better place to spend a week - we’ll be back soon.
