"Firstly the hosts, Sue and Gary were completely charming, so accommodating and helpful, took the time out - even when we were delayed on arrival with BH traffic to show us around the cottage, so lovely."
The cottage itself is immaculate, the kitchen one of the best equipped we’ve had in a holiday rental and we’ve been cottaging in the lakes for years.
The location is brilliant for hikers and families with Kendal, Windermere and even a day trip to morcombe all under an hour.
Finally - if you are taking your doggy family member as we did, the stream is perfect for them - for a little play or washing of any muddy paws before reentering the cottage, the children happened to love birdy watching there too - especially the Heron.
All around a perfect 4 day stay and we will definitely be back!

"Sue and Gary,
We spent a wonderfully relaxed week at your beautiful and such a well equipped cottage."
The location was so perfect and the weather was very kind to us.
Just one note the nearest pub was 30 minutes walk away not 5 but in a lovely location.
Thanks again

It's in a beautiful setting and it has everything you could need for a little break away. The dogs and the kids enjoyed the peacock that was visiting every day. :-)

"Just come back from a wonderful stay with our 2 dogs at bobbin mill cottage."
Sue and her husband were lovely hosts meeting us on arrival, showing us round the property and recommend places to visit. The facilities are great - loved all the maps and books provided to plan some beautiful walks. Very cosy place with a beautiful shared garden and stream running through (if you have dogs it’s not enclosed so keep ‘less sensible dogs like our crazy spaniels!’ on lead taking them to the toilet ) it’s around 30mins-1hr drive out from the main villages depending where you visit (Buttermere,Keswick about an hour) but that didn’t bother as at all. Loved being in a quite secluded location. Would come back in a heartbeat

"We have just spent a week at this delightful cottage which is in lovely peaceful surroundings next to the River Gilpin."
Very well equipped to a high standard, it had everything we needed. Highly recommended.
The description says "Pub 5 mins walk" which is rather optimistic as it's well over a mile!

"We have just come back from a lovely stay in Bobbin Mill Cottage and it was absolutely perfect!"
" On arrival we were greeted by the lovely owners who explained everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible and the welcome pack of Tea, Coffee, Milk and Biscuits was a lovely thought so a big thankyou for that!
The Cottage is situated in a tiny hamlet well away from noise and light pollution and with exceptional facilities including a safe haven for our Mini Schnauzer Molly - everything you could possibly want for a relaxing comfortable stay. Most evenings were spent sitting on the patio with a glass of wine listening to the birds and the tiny river bubbling away next the us.
The village of Crosthwaite is perfectly situated for visiting the Lakes and although there's no longer a village shop, the bustling town of Kendal us only a short drive away for everyday essentials.
All in all, we had a fantastic holiday and we're already planning another visit to Bobbin Mill Cottage later this year!

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Bobbin Mill Cottage."
All the facilities (shower, bathroom, roof windows, central heating, kitchen, TV, WiFi) worked properly - the owners have clearly purchased the best.
There were excellent walks for us and our dog, directly from the cottage. The owners recommended several local restaurants that provided to be excellent.
The only issue was parking, caused by an absent neighbour's thoughtless position in which he left his car - I had to reverse out each time, across a tight bridge and ended up scraping my car.

"Tucked away in tranquil spot with lovely walks on the doorstep but close enough to the Lakes."
Cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. Owners were very amenable and offered us another night to avoid driving home in storm Eunice.

"This cottage is in a wonderful location, bubbling stream, attractive gardens, really tranquil."
Convenient for the Lakes and mountains but far enough away to avoid the bustle.

One suggestion to all owners, wider longer, beds!

"Holiday cottage was perfect, couldn’t fault it but the Admin on your side was poor."
You made a typo with my email address and failed to send the booking confirmation until I chased the day before the holiday. You initially denied there was a booking because you couldn’t find the correct email address even though funds had been taken. Luckily resolved within a few hours once your team realised their error but unnecessary stress.
