• "We all absolutely loved our stay at Home Farm Cottage, it was a home away from home."

  We were greated with a beautiful hamper from Kate and the team filled with a lovely bottle of white wine and local treats which was a very personable touch. I look forward to returning to the cottage in the near future. Thankyou again to Kate and the team.

• "Very nice cottage, well furnished and spotlessly clean."

  Great location, minutes off the main road but really peaceful. The garden was a good size, too wet to use sadly. The downstairs bedroom had bedding that wouldn’t stay on which was a bit annoying, no problems elsewhere though. The bathrooms were all great. Close to the Rheged Centre, Penrith, Pooley Bridge and Keswick. Very enjoyable stay, thank you.

  Hello Sam, Thank you for your positive feedback. It’s lovely to hear you had such a fabulous stay. I’m sorry the bedding in the downstairs bed wouldn’t stay on. I’m not sure why, but we’ll have a look and see if there’s anything we can do. All the best, Kate and the team. Property Owner

• "Beautifully appointed cottage in a fantastic location for touring the Lakes."

  The beds were sumptuous and the baths and showers luxurious. Our dogs both loved the lovely large garden that was full of birds. The highlight of the week was the little red squirrel that visited us everyday for hazel nuts very kindly supplied by the owners. Thank you for a lovely holiday experience.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It’s so nice to hear you had such a lovely time at Home Farm. Even better that you saw the squirrels, as not everyone does, but it helped you kept feeding them hazlenuts! Kind regards, Kate. Property Owner

• "The property was just about perfect!"

  The only two things we would suggest to improve it were: a) a roasting tin to cook in the oven b) some small hooks in the bathrooms to hang up clothes, shower hat etc.

  Hello! Thank you for your lovely review and constructive feedback. Home Farm did have roasting tins, not sure what happened to them, but they have now been replaced. Thank you for making us aware. We like you idea of some hooks for the bathroom. If you do stay again, just get in touch during your stay and we will try and help then and there. We just live up the road. All the best, Kate.

• "We had a couple of issues at the time of year we went."

  The first was that bringing the sheep down close to the house meant the house was full of flies. I mean, so many flies :( This can be avoided by not going in the height of summer I guess!) Secondly, the garden is NOT dog-proof. If you have a dog who likes to escape then there are a ton of holes (evidenced by waking up to sheep in the garden!). This meant we had an anxious week worrying our dog would escape into the sheep field and cause issues. In the end, we kept him on a lead all week, but still, not good and much of a worry to my mum. The beds were wonderful, the house itself was lovely, and the location was perfect. I just can't in all conscience give the place a 5 given the flies but most importantly the fact that we booked this place as a dog-friendly venue. I would recommend maybe a non-summer stay... maybe when there are no sheep, and maybe without bringing the dog.

  Thank you for your feedback. Our guests often bring dogs as the garden is a lovely spot for them to run around and generally don’t have a problem. We can’t guarantee your dog won’t get out, no garden is completely dog-proof of course, but we did fix the fence as soon as we knew there was a problem. We live just up the road and always leave guests our contact details so they can get in touch during their, if they would like to. Unfortunately we can’t ask the farmer not to put sheep in the fields near to the house. We did provide you with fly spray and fly papers, but it’s part of being in the countryside that there will be animals. Property Owner

• "We had the most marvelous stay at Home Farm House."

  Kate was so easy to communicate with. The place was just as lovely as the photographs on the listing and each of us loved our bedrooms. The garden was so beautiful as were the fields surrounding it. The place was so clean and had everything we could want. We definitely hope to return for another wonderful stay.

• "Amazing stay at home farm house."

  Such a beautiful location and house. The garden was big and clean and perfect for the kids and dog! (Lots of Easter egg hunts!) the house was really clean, great size, comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen! We loved it. Brilliant location for seeing all of the Lakes. Easy access to everywhere. Really quiet peaceful road only the sound of sheep and birds - bliss. Thank you so much. Only note that doesn’t need publishing- could have done with tea bags/ coffee/ milk for when we first arrived- was a long journey! And more dishwasher tablets and bin bags.

• "Home Farm House was perfect!"

  The location enabled the family to visit the north lakes with ease and then escape back to rest and tranquility! We were all impressed with the attention to detail; all rooms were presented with care and colours but it still felt homely. The dogs enjoyed the enclosed garden space but I think they also kept the red squirrels at a distance. Hoping to book another stay next year, highly recommended. Thank you Kate, it was a pleasure to meet you.

• "We have spent a wonderful week in this beautiful cottage."

  The weather was fairly kind to us during the week… Enjoyed many lovely walks…revisiting one of our exceptional favourites – Castle Cragg and climbing Catbells for the first time we can recommend The Horse and Farrier in Dacre and The Linghom Kitchen, for yummy food. I was lovely returning to the cottage to spend sunny afternoons and evenings in the peaceful garden (Ruby especially loved it. Hopefully we will return!

• "We have just spent the most amazing two weeks at Home Farm House."

  The owners have restored it to a very high standard and it was immaculate throughout. We also had two weeks of wall to wall sunshine too, which made our holiday complete. We would definitely recommend.
