"Absolutely excellent."
A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. Would recommend and, hopefully, stay again.
-
"A perfect and cosy cottage with everything."
The owners have thought of everything.

"A beautiful cottage."
The kitchen is lovely and very well equipped. The garden was perfect for our dog, with the addition of the summerhouse and decking, with views over the river. A lovely, relaxing break with perfect weather!

"We loved this homely cottage which was very nicely furnished."
The garden was fantastic with a lovely outside seating area for 6, and a summer house where we sat and enjoyed a coffee. We could also access the river path straight from the garden. The location is great with the pubs, shops and cafes in Appleby just a few minutes walk away. Beds were comfy and there was ample bedroom storage. The ensuite is quite small but it's manageable. Great kitchen equipment if you want to cook. The only problem we found was the pull out table for eating inside:- we can see why this is a challenge spacewise and the owners have provided a pull out 4 seater table but we struggled to work out where to put it, and seating all 5 of us was not possible easily. Having said that, we would still recommend this property.

"Great location in a lovely village."
Cottage was cosy and comfortable. Kitchen and living room were perfect, bedrooms ok but en suite bathroom abit small.
-
"Probably the best holiday accommodation we've stayed in!"
Has absolutely everything you want, and more. Owners have thought of everything. We had such a lovely time in Appleby, the village is lovely.

"Cottage lovely and very clean."
Garden great size. Could have been doing with a mat at the back door, we put the dog's towel down! An extra set of keys would've been handy. Other reviews mention the cottage is on a main road and that isn't clear from the photos. It was an issue for one of our party in a front room as noisy from early morning ( back room was quiet) Great access to village with shops pubs etc. Nice little places to walk with exhibits in the park by the school which were fun. A short walk up the hill to Appleby castle, we went on the train to Settle with lovely scenery. Would recommend the cottage if not a light sleeper and using all the rooms, and would return to Appleby.

"Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to the owners for letting us stay in their gorgeous cottage."
Cleanliness great. Lounge comfy and cosy. Kitchen bright and absolutely everything you would need. Bedrooms small but perfectly adequate. Only 2 of us so can only comment on back bedroom king size bed. Lovey pillows, duvet, and mattress fairly soft. Great for us. Showers quite small but lovely and clean. Just a point out to the owners ( not a complaint) on suite shower room has a little mould appearing in the corners of the ceiling. Garden absolutely perfect for our little dog and the summerhouse well what a beautiful place to sit. Appleby itself is beautiful by river and some great walks but not a great deal in the town. Fish and chips good. No really lovely restaurants. Parking no problem on side of road. Great roads over to Ullswater and Keswick. Recommend the train ride to Settle beautiful scenery. Would I stay in cottage again a definite yes.
Thank you for your choosing to stay at our cottage and for the positive and informative review. We appreciate all feedback - both positive and negative. We will certainly deal with the small mould in the corner of the shower ceiling. We try our best to make the cottage a "home from home" and as comfortable as possible, so you don't have to worry about your accommodation and can just concentrate on enjoying your holiday. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated all that the cottage and local area has to offer. We would, of course, love to welcome you back to the cottage for a holiday in future.

"This is a very comfortable & extremely well equipped home in the heart of Appleby."
The garden leading down to the river is lovely & we enjoyed sitting out here on a warm & sunny morning. Very much enjoyed our short break here with our adult children. Thank you.
-
"The cottage is very well equipped and tastefully decorated."
Alot of thought has obviously gone into what you might need. There is everything there you could possibly want including garden furniture. A small welcome pack would have been nice. The bedrooms are smaller than appear on website but totally adequate. The lounge is very dark but cosy. The only thing that would stop me from going to Eden cottage again is the fact it's on a very busy noisy road. This makes sleeping in the front bedroom difficult for the traffic noise. The final photo on the website is deceiving makes it look like the cottage is set back from the road.

"A nice house at the edge of the village with a lovely aspect at the back."
There is quite a bit of road noise at the front of the house but as the weather was glorious we spent most of our time out back. We only used one of the front bedrooms which my son slept in, and he wasn’t as impacted from the traffic noise. The rear aspect down to the river is gorgeous, but the grass was really long, which was a shame, as it made our fluffy dog extra wet particularly with all the heavy dew, and also meant we couldn’t go out in the evening to the village using the bottom gate as our feet got totally soaked in flip flops ( we’d have mowed the lawn if the mower was there) Overall a nice place to stay and the town itself was lovely.

"Spotlessly clean, and comfortable ."
Beautiful kitchen stocked with every kitchen utensil you could think of .Large secure garden leading down to a lovely river walk. We were not aware that the cottage is set on a busy road, did not effect our sleep because we slept in the back bedroom where there was no traffic noise. Would highly recommend this cottage.
-
"Beautiful cottage, spacious enough for 2 adults, 4 kids and a dog."
Really well equipped kitchen and whole house spotlessly clean. Bonus was a gorgeous garden accessing the river walk. Could not recommend more highly!
-
"An absolutely stunning place."
We met our friends who drove down from Scotland and we drove up from London. The cottage had everything and more that you may need. The garden was lovely and our dog loved the freedom of going into the garden. It was very comfortable with more than enough space for us. The log fire was a perfect addition to the chilly evenings. We would definitely recommend Wdwn Corrage

"Quite simply, Eden Cottage was better than we expected."
It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. I contacted Scott on a few occasions, he was always able to answer any questions accurately and honestly.
-
"Thanks to Bernadette and Andrew for allowing us to experience living in their wonderful cottage."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, which was our first Xmas away and it did not disappoint. Great location and all amenities close to hand. Pleasantly pleased to find a well equipped kitchen, but needs a Teapot
Hi Paul Thank you for your positive review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your Festive stay in our cottage. I note your useful suggestion regarding a teapot - we will endeavour to get one asap, and look forward to welcolming you again in the future. Andrew & Bernadette Property Owner

"Stunning cottage in a lovely area."
The cottage was decorated for Christmas and looked stunning. The area was dog friendly which was great. We are planning on returning to the cottage in the summer to take advantage of the beautiful summer house and garden.
-
"The property is sensational, finished to an incredible standard, cozy throughout, very comfy beds, all was great."
Thank for having us!
-
"The property was of a very high standard."
We were impressed with the quality of glasses ,plates and cooking utensils etc.Nice garden leading down to river, with pleasant walks in both directions. Quality cooking range and fridge freezer, all in all a beautiful cottage.
-
"Would love to have seen a teapot!"
We’re British and need one!! Shower door on ensuite stiff, handle came off (looked like already repaired), reattached but for how long? Garden needs some TLC (thanks for apples!) but a super space for dog and we used summerhouse too, delightful. Access to lovely river walk through gate at bottom. Lounge, some of bulbs had gone and need replacing on arrival, housekeeping need to check. Room was quite dark but comfortable. Overall, great stay and location, shame no Visitors Book to write reviews and recommendations!

"The property was lovely and close to the town for our elderly parents who had a great time with us because of where it was."
The inside was beautiful and the ornaments etc went well with it.for our first time with sykes cottages we were very pleased
-
"Excellent, very well appointed period and character property."
High quality fixtures and fittings. Spotlessly clean. Luxury kitchen was amazing and so well equipped. We loved the little summer house and rabbits in the garden. Unfortunately the weather was atrocious most of the time and so we spent minimal time in the gorgeous garden. Just one observation, the grass was very long all during our stay but this could have been because of the constant rain even before we arrived. Would have looked much nicer with a trimmed lawn if this could have been arranged before we checked in. Very responsive host, we needed a clothes airer due to bad weather and this was sorted out very promptly and was much appreciated thank you. A welcome pack would have been a lovely touch as it was quite an expensive break and we've had this elsewhere when staying just for a long weekend. All in all a brilliant place to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday.

"First time to Appleby(although we know the Eden valley well) , last minute booking , really enjoyed it , cottage is clean and comfortable/cosy inside, really liked it ,large outside space with great views to the river, and walks for the dog from the bottom gate , well positioned ,close enough to walk in to town ,where we had a couple of cracking meals ."
Great base to explore the Eden valley , but also northern lake district , we walked along lake Ullswater Saturday in the sun (great stuff ) , were already planning to book again , we had a great weekend thanks

"Loved the cottage - really well presented, so comfy and great garden and summer house."
There is a gap in the fence so the dog did get into the field next door but only the once. Loved Appleby and so close for all you needed. Found some great walks nearby and really felt we chilled and had a great time. Parking worked out great for us as well. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

"A beautiful cottage with an outstanding garden including a summer house with views of the river."
Very tastefully presented with high quality furniture and fitments. Very comfortable beds with superb quality duvets and pillows. This property is 5* throughout.

"Lovely cottage situated well for the lakes, Pennines and North Yorkshire."
Very clean and decorated for Christmas, lovely log burner but was unable to slow the air draw on the fire, had a great stay and would recommend to anyone, thanks 5*
-
"Delightful cottage, very cozy and warm."
Would have liked lights on the wall in main bedroom to enable comfortable reading in bed. Would love to return in summer to enable us to enjoy the garden.
-
"Really lovely cottage."
Beautifully clean and really well equipped, especially the kitchen. Loved the enclosed the garden for the pooch and the summer house too. Would definitely visit again.
-
"Fantastic cottage ,very clean ,modern kitchen with every kitchen utensil and appliance available, unfortunately there was no table to eat a meal,small individual fold away tables were available in lounge but we missed sitting around a table eating our meals ."
The kitchen was large enough to accommodate a table and chairs ,also a standard lamp or more lighting on the beams in main room would be great as reading was very difficult.
Thank you for your feedback and useful suggetsions. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Regarding your comments about the need for a dining table, we understand and agree, and consequently have now bought a dining table & chairs for the cottage. We have also bought an additional lamp for the lounge to provide additional illumination for reading. Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage and garden, mix of old and modern, comfortable beds, warm and welcoming."
A little unfortunate that after making use of all the kitchen facilities, to produce a 'culinary delight', we were disappointed to find the only place to eat inside, was sat on the settee with our meals on small, folding tables. A shuffle around of furnishings in either the living room or kitchen might afford sufficient space for a drop leaf dining table and at least a couple of chairs. All in all we had an enjoyable stay in beautiful surroundings.
Thank you for your review and the constructive comments regarding the need for a dining table.. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have now purchased a dining table & chairs Property Owner

About the location
APPLEBY-IN-WESTMORLAND
Penrith 14 miles.
The historic town of Appleby-in-Westmorland lies in a loop of the River Eden and is overlooked by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Lake District Fells showing on the western horizon. Set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley and steeped in history, this is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is nestled between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, so guests can enjoy the contrasting scenery of these two National Parks, plus numerous walking and cycling opportunities as well as the fantastic leisure centre in the town. Appleby has a wonderful selection of quality independent shops, cafes and delicatessens selling locally produced food and crafts. The picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings, is at the heart of the town and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and still today many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. With the delightful Ullswater and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.
