• "Beautiful cottage and ideally situated."

  Very rural but at the same time, not too far to get to so many lovely destinations. This was our first visit to the Lake District and it didn't disappoint, and to have such a lovely cottage to come home to was perfect. It was very well stocked with everything you could need and the lovely cakes and flowers were a great welcome, and milk in the fridge. David was a friendly host and very willing to help out when needed.

• "We had a lovely stay at Rusland View."

  The cottage was very clean and comfortable it has a lovely wood burner which we didn’t get to use because the weather was really warm for our stay but i can imagine on a winters night how cosy it would be. The owners who live next door were very pleasant and helpful. we live on the Yorkshire Wolds and are used to Rural but Rusland View is very Rural with very narrow roads leading to it. It wasn’t a problem for us because you just have to drive very carefully. and the area around the cottage was lovely we had some lovely walks. The only thing that would put us off staying again was the very poor wi-fi. I know if you’re on your holidays you shouldn’t need to rely on wi-fi but you absolutely do these days. we need to keep in touch with elderly relatives etc when we away. The wi-fi was so poor it wouldn’t even let us access emails at times so we had to make sure that was all done before we returned to the cottage at night. We did mention it to the owners who rebooted the modem at their end and it made it slightly better but nothing like we would expect. All in all it was excellent and apart from the wi-fi would be happy to give it 10 out of 10.

  It was clean and tidy and well maintained. The shower is amazing and so powerful. The kitchen was full of all the utensils that you need for a self catering holiday we cooked every night with no issues. There was washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets which was great as that was something we forgot. The surroundings are beautiful and we walked in the local area which was lovely. Lovely touches like umbrellas all at the front door which again was great when letting the dog out. Cosy living room with wood burner we didn’t use this as was not needed. Internet was good for what we needed. The bedroom is a little tight but think that is due to the very large bed in the room. Very quiet throughout the day and the night absolutely silent have struggled to sleep at home now due to cars driving past but I am sure I will get used to that again. We didn’t meet Anne however David was friendly and asked how our stay was. The cakes tea and coffee and doggie trays are a lovely touch l. Thank you for a lovely place to stay!

  The pictures didn’t do it justice, it really was such a beautiful cottage we would love to come back to stay again. It was a little cold inside at times but with the time of year and it being an old cottage it is to be expected. The fire was a real treat too in the evenings. My partner absolutely loved the shower! Said it was the best she’s had in years! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook with, and we loved the views from all the rooms. Especially beautiful to wake up to in the morning. My partner literally laid at the bottom of the bed watching the clouds drift across the scenic views for ages with a cup of tea bought to her in bed. The walk up to High Dam was amazing, literally up the road which was lovely. The folder of things to do was helpful and we left a board game for other guests to use in the future. We bought cards with us but in the evening it’s nice to have a board game to play instead of the tv. Another lovely treat was the slices of cake waiting for us on arrival. Perfect with a cup of tea after a long journey. Couldn’t recommend this stay enough. Beautiful location, helpful, pleasant hosts. Thank you so much for the most perfect weekend.

  Beautiful inside and out. Almost every utensil can be found in the kitchen and there is a good array of guidance in the handbook. However, it would be useful if there was guidance for the fireplace (for those not experienced at lighting and maintaining wood fires) in the handbook and warning on the listing site about the roads leading into and away from the cottage which are narrow and can be unnerving in the dark especially (for drivers who aren't used to these scenic roads).

  Immaculately presented throughout. Owners on site, very friendly, made sure we were happy with everything. The only sounds we could hear were the birds -and we visited during a very busy bank holiday. Would love to revisit, many thanks

  David and Anne were very welcoming hosts, and shared with us the wildlife of the area and lots of nice walks. The cottage is warm and cosy and in a great location for getting out into the Coniston and Langdale fells.

  Welcoming and very friendly owners in a stunning area of the Lake District. Ideal location for nature lovers and walkers like us who very much appreciated the peacefulness this perfect escape gave us. We shall be visiting again in the future and would highly recommend this idyllic getaway.

• "We booked here for a quick getaway before Xmas."

  We spent a couple of days looking for somewhere that had everything we wanted and within our budget so when we are across this one it was put in the 'maybe' category with my only hesitation being the lack of reviews I could find so it felt a bit of a gamble. I needn't have worried though as the cottage was absolutely perfect and even better than we could have hoped. It was quiet, well appointed and with character and charm (as well as being much bigger than the photos suggest). The place was even decorated for Xmas which added to the charm. We were welcomed by the hosts who followed all Covid secure protocols and even had some freshly made shortbread waiting for us in the kitchen. The cottage is a bit out of the way, which was what we were looking for, but easy to find and with ample parking. It was easy enough to get to p,aces ,ike Ambleside and Windermere and close to some fantastic walks that we found in the books in the living room. Me, my partner and the dog had a brilliant time and would 100% book to go back again. Thanks for a perfect stay 10/10.
