"Amazing property and great hosts"
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Coombes View, it was very comfortable and spotlessly clean on arrival."
Very well set up for families and dogs, the field to let ours roam free was excellent. Would suggest saying property has courtyard garden is misleading when it is a car park. Very handy for the property but not private and used by quite a lot of people.

"A little bit out of the way could walk into the village but mostly on the road."
Everyone was very friendly from the staff of the cottage to the village shop & the 2 pubs. If you wanted to venture to the lakes you would have to drive everywhere but overall lovely stay.

"Great break in Armathwaite."
A little further out than we usually stay as like to explore the Lake District. Lovely warm welcome from Nick, able to use on site doggy daycare. Excellent cottage, real home from home. Views all around property. Our dog Luna loved the agility course too. Perfect family friendly dog holiday.

"Cottage was really clean on arrival and situated in such a remote and refreshing location which is exactly what we were after."
The animals on site were such a welcome treat for my child especially the peacocks in the morning and the location gave us easy access to the lakes and our adventure up Scafell Pike. The facilities inside the cottage were modern, and easy to access and use. Broadband was fast and always reliable unlike other places I have stayed. Fresh towels provided in abundance and a parking space on site making the stay even more relaxing and perfect. Owner Nick was very kind and made us feel at home. Hope to return soon!!

"Despite COVID having impacted us all, the chance for exploring Cumbria, the Lakes etc was made all the more enjoyable by this fabulous little cottage."
Quite quirky but really well appointed, bedrooms were lovely, bathroom light and airy with plenty of hot water to satisfy our teenagers! But above all great to have a dog with us as well. Perfect location for him and a great exercising area that was secure to prevent any unexpected running off, by the Doodle that is. The local village of Armathwaite has two great pubs and we ate lunch in both! However, there can be only one winner, Fox and Pheasant did a cracking meal of chicken breast stuffed with haggis and whiskey creamy sauce, divine! All washed down with local Ale. Speaking of Ale, cannot recommend more highly than picking up a load of beer from a fabulous brewery called Ennerdale, do a delicious IPA that is seriously refreshing check out the link: http://www.ennerdalebrewery.co.uk/ Whilst your staying at the cottage, there are fresh eggs in the honesty box at the end of the lane, super tasty and fresh for a scrummy breakfast, just make sure you have some cash! Being next to a farm, you do need to time departure and return for when the dairy cows are led out to the fields, so you really do feel deep in farming country, but we loved it, so did Wilbur our Doodle, so many chickens, ducks and geese, just make sure you have your furry friends on a lead whe going out to avoid scaring the locals!! And lastly to Nick, who greeted us on arrival. Lovely chap and host who we exchanged a few laughs with, looking forward to booking our return Nick!

A very relaxed stay in a location well situated to explore Cumbria. Cottage was really comfortable with gated parking.

About the location
ARMATHWAITE
Carlisle 10.2 miles; Penrith 11 miles; North Pennines AONB 11.3 miles.
The attractive, unspoilt rural village of Armathwaite is ideally placed for exploring the Lake District, Eden Valley and the lovely coastline of the Solway Firth. The village has two old pubs, both with popular restaurants serving excellent food, a village Post Office and a traditional village shop. The River Eden runs through the centre of the village, and the area is renowned for its excellent salmon fishing, plus walking, canoeing and climbing. Armathwaite Castle, by the river, is a four-storey Pele Tower, and the 15th Century Church has fine examples of stained glass windows. The Eden Gorge, between Lazonby and Armathwaite, is one of Cumbria's best-kept secrets, and is well worth exploring. The local railway station is a stop on the Settle-to-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and where today many old steam trains still wend their way through some of the finest countryside in Britain. The Rheged Discovery Centre in Penrith is the "largest grass covered building in the country" or you might like to visit Dalemain Historic House, featured in a television production of Jane Eyre.
Please note one of the bathrooms within the property is a downstairs cloakroom with WC and basin.
