  Comfortable warm a few yards from a lovely pub serving great food. This is a great base for walkers and Appleby is a charming little town with lots of amenities. Thank you for a wonderful week we will be booking again soon

• "This is our second stay here."

  The cottage is cosy and warm and well presented. It is situated in a very convenient part of Appleby. Three doors away from a traditional pub serving good food. The shops tearooms and other facilities are all a short walk away as is the swimming pool. It is an excellent walking base both from the door or a short drive away. We highly recommend a holiday here. We will certainly return again

• "We had a lovely comfortable week at 27 Bongate."

  There was everything we needed and of a high quality. Appleby town was very pretty and interesting. Great base for trips to the Lakes or Dale's or just enjoying local walks with our little dog. The Royal Oak pub only a few doors down was a real bonus. We ate there a couple of times and it was very welcoming after a day out and about. Good food and friendly owners and locals. We will be back.

• "We enjoyed our stay at 27 Bongate, the cottage is comfortable and a lot of thought has gone into making it a pleasant place to stay."

  The TV's are excellent, the bathroom is lovely and the towels are some of the nicest I have used. It may help if there was a safety handle in the shower as it does get a bit slippery even with the rubber mat. The bed is extremely comfortable. It would be nice if there was another double socket in the kitchen as you have to keep swapping the plugs with the kettle, toaster, microwave and coffee machine. Also a dish cloth or j-cloth in the kitchen would be a good addition to keep the surfaces wiped down, but all in all I would recommend it.

• "We have just come back from our week at staying in this house."

  Whilst not linked to property, please note that Appleby horse fair starts on the 6th June and therefore being the week before, the village was getting busy with the travelling community and their horses and businesses preparing by closing early. Worth bearing in mind when booking. The house itself was fine and extremely clean. Unfortunately we didn’t find it cosy and the bed was very soft so had backache week. I know this can be a personal preference but mattress did feel thin and lacked any support. The property details are very misleading as it says the house is on a quiet road however it actually is on a busy main through road and there was a stream of traffic/ Articulated lorries passing which was not relaxing and could not have windows open during the night. It also says the house is tucked in the heart of the village however it is actually positioned on the village outskirts. The description are not accurate and advise need updating.

  Its the cleanest oven in a holiday let that I have ever used! The owners are lovely and went the extra mile for us. Big thank you to them. My only comment is the access to the garden, I know the description states via a shared path but there are steps up and then a narrow path which didn't really make it easy for an aging dog and my dodgy knees. We didn't use the parking space either as it was so much easier to park on the road. There is a lovely walk across the fields nearby which was useful.

  Location a few metres from pub was superb ! Bathroom was probably best we've had in cottage. There was offstreet parking but was very tricky to negotiate so stayed on street - plenty of nearby room so not a problem. As cottage is in area associated with "changeable" conditions a wet jacket hanger would be a useful addition if feasible. Overall a great place to stay for a couple and a pooch

  It is well located, with Derwentwater, Ullswater and Buttermere all within around an hour's drive, and you can get everything you need in Appleby. We visited The Royal Oak three times as the food is superb and they were very dog friendly. The one thing we'd note wasn't 100% clear on the listing is that the enclosed back garden is not directly attached to the back of the house and you need to walk up a shared path. Not a massive issue but could be a bit inconvenient for some dog owners.

  Appleby-in-Westmorland is a very nice town. We both appreciated the bottle of wine on arrival. The Royal Oak pub was very handy. We had an excellent lunch at the 'Crown & Cushion'.

  The bathroom was absolutely amazing! Our issue was more around the garden and which bit(s) we could actually use. As our dog is an assistance dog, she needs to be allowed out to spend regularly and the remote garden was too 'remote' being where it is. To us, this didn't seem very dog friendly. Also, my husband has in the last few weeks suffered mobility issues and so to park at the back of the property / access the garden area was not possible for us. We did love the cottage but would probably not return.

A couple of points which I’m sure would help future guests. Somewhere to hang wet coats and jackets after a walk would be really useful ( there were a few short hooks under the but this was full of household items) and a light in the porch would be most helpful for returning after dark.

  2. Very dark porch, difficult to see how to get in. Batteries in lights dead. 3. Disappointed no washing machine, but had dishwasher. Would prefer other way around but that's what was advertised. 4. Narrow staircase, not suitable for people with disabilities. 5. Extra steps in to bedroom and bathroom. Not good for disabilities either. Property should be advertised as no use for anyone with a disability.

• "A superb terraced house in a beautiful little town."

  Exactly as per the listing and the photos. Kitchen beautifully equipped and a stunning bathroom. Lounge a little dark, but not an issue as out walking for most of the days. Great to sit out by the front door and enjoy a glass of wine in the afternoon sun. Beware the back garden is not directly outside the back door, but up several steep steps and a steep path at the top of a small hill (set behind the garden belonging to the neighbour) so didn’t find that particularly convenient - hence sitting out the front. Not a problem for me - but anyone with mobility issues would struggle (similarly be aware the steps to the upstairs in the property are fairly narrow and steepish - again, not a problem for me, but I would hate for anyone to find this lovely property is not for them if discovering these things on arrival). Very friendly town. Neighbours were lovely and chatty every time I saw them. Great pub with amazing food almost next door. Just 15 mins walk in other direction into the town for shops. Easy to park out front on the main road, which isn’t overly busy. Will definitely be back, if I get the opportunity.

• "We enjoyed our stay here."

  Close enough to walk into Appleby. Very comfy bed and cooking facilities fine. Steps up to front door were not too severe for my wife who uses a walking stick. Only snag was the access to car parking at the rear is up some steps that she couldn’t manage. So, we left the car at the front and no problems. In fact, everything is so handy we left the car parked up. There’s a laundrette in the town (cottage has no washing machine) but plenty of pubs nearby whilst you wait. The cottage is always warm and log fire is very cosy whilst you drink your wine kindly left by the owners. Brilliant shower and soaking in the bath was great after a long walk in the rain. The Royal Oak pub 30m away is very cosy. We didn’t eat there but food looked fine. Access to the numerous walking paths is very easy from here and you’re quickly into the countryside along the river. Plenty of castles around to explore and Penrith handy if weather is too bad to walk. The town has a swimming pool too. We would return here without hesitation.

The bed is massive and extremely comfy, I want the same mattress for home now! The bathroom is beautiful and we both loved having a long soak in the bath every night after a day out. The cottage is warm and cosy, couldn’t get the burner to light as it was a lot smaller than my own, but the heating is so efficient it wasn’t needed. Kitchen is modern and fully equipped. The only suggestions to add to the magic would be some hooks in the bathroom, maybe on the back of the door and a full length mirror in the bedroom.

  It was a shared front path and next door tended to leave the gate open to the front garden which was small.

  The property was warm, super clean and with a fantastic bathroom! The bed is also really comfy. It is a great location with a dog friendly pub two doors down and a ten minute walk into the town centre with another dog friendly pub called the crown and cushion. Both of these allow dogs in to eat with you so our boy was with us every time too. There are lovely walks through Appleby and so much to explore, also great links to the lakes via the A66. The property provide a car parking disc for the town centre and a handy folder with all instruction manuals. Also in one drawer you will find all the leaflets of what is nearby to help plan your stay. The only thing we found slightly difficult was that it is a small shared garden with steep steps and next door have a cat and the other side had a young pup, so we kept our bouncy ten month old on a lead as he likes to explore! He is a golden retriever and struggled with the steps, no fault to the cottage though. We had a fantastic stay and are already looking to book again. Highly recommend.
