"Lovely cottage, thoroughly enjoyed our stay, peaceful and tranquil, isolated from any hustle & bustle."
Excellent quality fixtures& fittings to a high standard. Hot-tub at proper temperature which was great. Pics 1, 2 & 30 misleading as that's a Fire Exit into an inaccessible gated off part of the property, not a main entrance as suggested.

"The house was lovely it had everything we needed the area was beautiful the hot tub was great it was 10 out of 10"

"First impression was not great , no privacy - on a caravan site NOT next to one as noted in the listing ."
No privacy , The property should have been listed showing the relationship of the cottage and what the surroundings are, ie a view from the balcony overlooked by at least 10 caravans to manage the customers expectations , Overall the property was really comfortable once inside , the outside space around the hot tub needs some attention as does the hot tub itself . The property itself is great . The location is a good one - but the listing needs to be more transparent . No welcome pack and didn’t meet the owners so no comment on that .
After putting our heart and soul into our cottage, these comments are quite hurtful, and as anyone can see is out of sync with previous reviews. we truly are sorry your holiday wasn't what you felt it should have been. With the cottage been on a working farm, it never is going to be total privacy. The caravans are all privately owned, and the vast majority is only used every now and again by retired people. We do provide, Tea, Coffee, Sugar and milk for a brew on arrival. In our own opinion we don't like to go and meet guests. We like to leave them to get on with their holiday. We do say we live next door if they need anything. Property Owner

"Property was very comfortable."
Great outside areas for sitting for both morning and evening sun.We had dogs with us and found the utility room very handy. Lots of great walk on the doorstep. The hot tub was a great bonus to the property.

"Stayed in this lovely cottage from 3rd March to Friday 8th March for my birthday week with my family."
Comfortable and clean, plenty of space, very comfy beds. The hot tub was lovely in the evenings. Had everything we needed, great views into the countryside. Perfect base to visit Windermere, Penrith, Kendal, Kirby Stephen, Keswick. We had beautiful weather and had a lovely time. The farm shops around this area are great! Would recommend this cottage which is on a farm. Would definitely visit again. Thank you!!

"Lovely cottage and really enjoyed our short stay!"
-
"Apple tree cottage is an amazing property, with breathtaking views the likes I’ve never seen."
The owners have put a lot of thought into providing a home from home. With every need catered for. It is part of a static caravan park, and as mentioned a working farm. But don’t let that stop you from staying at this 5* property. Around a 10min drive to the nearest shops.
-
"Absolutely fantastic cottage."
Everything we needed & more. The hot tub was so inviting after a days walking. Beds comfy, good quality duvet. Really enjoyed our stay here, we were sad to leave.

"Absolutely beautiful place to stay!"
I cannot think of any improvements needed! We loved it and will be back! Thank you x
-
"We absolutely our stay at this beautiful cottage it had everything we needed and more we will definitely be back."
-
"Apple Tree Cottage was absolutely lovely, great place to stay, lovely, clean & spacious, the hot tub was great after a day out."
Lovely views over the mountains, Kirkby Stephen is a lovely village our dogs loved to visit the river for a swim under Franks Bridge, plenty of Shops, Coffee Shops and Tea Rooms in the village. We have already booked Apple Tree Cottage again for next year. Looking forward to it already.

"Lovely clean cottage with everything needed and a few extra nice touches, such as milk and eggs."
Beds were very comfortable. Hot tub was so relaxing, and the robes and slippers were a nice surprise. The tv channel choices were extensive and again unexpected, so plenty to watch on an evening. Cooker took a bit of working out,, as I had it on defrost, but we got there after reading the manual, same for the electric hob, if like us you have a gas appliance at home, don’t try and wing it. The only thing missing for us, was a gate to close the front entrance off. Only because we took our dog, a husky, and couldn’t leave the door open on a hot day/ evening as she would run off, so we couldn’t risk opening the front door to sit outside in the sun on a morning. There was still 2 other doors to open when it was hot, as they are safely barricaded off to the outside. There are a few owner owned statics, one of the owners introduced himself, he was lovely, and gave us an insight into how the cottage was built, and assured us everything was very safe, gave us tips on local places to visit. So a lovely relaxing break we had, and the first cottage we have ever booked to stay at as it wasn’t expensive.

"Stayed here for a week's hiking holiday."
Cottage is spacious & comfy with well equipped kitchen and two nice bedrooms. We went hiking everyday & it was great to come back at end of each day & enjoy the hot tub. If the weather is bad, although we didn't use them, there are lots of board games provided in cupboard. Only slight negative was some of the kitchen utensils & cutlery were dirty, we had to wash them before use but apart from that, everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay here. There are some static caravans next to the cottage & we spoke to a few of the owners who had been there 16+ years and very friendly.
-
"Fantastic well equipped and comfortable cottage,only let down with the cleanliness of the place."
Attention to detail is needed.High gloss Kitchen frontals all smeared,tiled areas of shower grubby and grout dirty.After five days hot tub smelt like a pond.I never saw the water in this being checked or tested all the time we stayed!.We did have a great holiday in the cottage but i feel it would have been much better had we not come across these small points that are all easily rectified!.

"A first class holiday cottage in a quiet location we had a lovely chilled out ..."
A first class holiday cottage in a quiet location we had a lovely chilled out holiday and soaking in the hot tub at the end of the day was so relaxing the bed was very comfortable a very nice clean cottage and the welcome pack was a nice touch thanks Ron, Jayne and Molly (the Patterdale)
-
"Lovely place to stay, great cottage with everything you need for a relaxing holiday."
Hot tub was great and the views were fantastic.
-
"Absolutely loved our stay here."
The dogs were so happy and we felt so welcomed to the farm by everyone. Will definitely be returning! Xx
-
"Lovely property, nicely styled & plenty of space."
Lovely touches such as eggs & milk, blankets etc. Even though it wasn’t used, generous gesture providing wood for fire. Hot tub great extra - only comment was that it wasn’t set for a hot temperature when we arrived & didn’t notice until the evening on the Friday so had to wait until the following day to use it. Need a bigger frying pan to cook in! Chopping boards are awful I’m afraid, please get proper solid ones! Would have been nice to have washing up liquid & a sponge provided given that you had gone to the bother of providing dishwasher tablets & tea towels. Slightly disappointing we couldn’t get anywhere down the public footpath leading away from the property. Great quiet park & did not feel overlooked or “monitored” by the fact you lived next door. Thank you for such a great stay!
-
"Peaceful amd friendly stay."
-
"Fantastic property very clean & great location."
All I would say is to make the hot tub a bit more private by maybe putting a bamboo screen or something along the metal fence. Apart from that perfect. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone

Very nice, cosy and Beautiful cottage we had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our week in the Lake District, Thank you Richard and Amy we will be back
-
"Beautiful cottage which was spotless, comfortable, everything you would need was available."
Thank you, and was left spotless too Property Owner
-
"We had a lovely stay at Apple Tree Cottage, and our only regret was not getting to meet the owners."
We were unsure of how busy they would be, with it being on a farm. While we were relaxing, they were still busy on the farm. But everything was great, we just wish we could have found public footpaths straight out the door so we felt a bit safer letting our dog off lead. We did find some nice walks in the villages close by, and tourist information.
-
"Fabulous property one of best stayed at."
Well thought out hard to believe used to be cow shed & storage area. Everything we needed was there available. Had a lot of rain during our stay the upstairs veranda has no drainage so flooded until we swept water over top other than that excellent property.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at apple tree cottage."
The cottage is clean modern and cosy. It is well placed to explore the lakes, local villages and walks. The fresh eggs on arrival were a lovely touch and very tasty.
-
"Absolutely wonderful stay!"
Perfect location for exploring the Lakes, Dales and Pennines. House was clean, modern and came with everything you could hope for and more! We would love to return for another stay!
-
"Lovely cottage very well equipped."
I love horses so it was wonderful so see them in all the surrounding fields . Would recommend for a relaxing holiday.

-
"The cottage was an absolute gem."
Very conveniently located for The Lakes, Pennines and The Dales. The hot tub was very welcoming after a long day's walking. We would highly recommend this cottage, very well equipped and comfortable.
-
"Lovely property and perfect location for a peaceful holiday."
Hotub was a lovely touch at the end of a busy day or to start off the morning. Beds were comfy, the kitchen was well equipped for a nice night in. Views were beautiful and two towns only a 10 minute drive either side was handy.
-
"Loved it! Nice touch with fresh eggs and milk."
The cottage was very nice and very peaceful, great location with an amazing view. Loved the hot tub after a day out hiking and the open fire while playing board games.
-
"Lovely stay."
Very comfortable and super clean. We wanted a quiet relaxed week to recharge and that is exactly what we got. Was lovely to relax in the hot tub with a (plastic) glass of fizz after a day out and did so every evening. Love this area and would stay at Apple Tree Cottage again in a heartbeat! Hopefully we were well behaved guests.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! It was left in perfect condition, so easy to go in and do our job. And, yes you were hassle free guests! Property Owner
-
"Fab stay at a wonderful cottage, the layout and quality of this is reallt nice, we loved it all."
great location to get about
-
"Absolutely gorgeous property."
Couldn't have asked for a nicer place. Has everything you need for a few days away. Car is needed as it's very remote but it's definitely ideal for people that want to just relax and enjoy the hit tub. Only thing we would say is we would have liked there to be a blind on the door in the kitchen the same as the other side, but that is literally our only criticism.
-
"It was amazing."
We will definitely be coming back again, shame about the weather although the perfect cottage meant we could stay inside and be at comfort and ease.
-
"Great stay, home from home."
Everything needed was available. Great touch with milk and eggs. Peaceful considering on a working farm with Amazing views.
-
"Absolutely fantastic!"
We had a brilliant week. The cottage was spotless. We didn’t want to leave. We didn’t need for anything in the cottage like you do in other properties. The kitchen had everything you needed, the bed was extremely comfortable. The view is stunning and you couldn’t help but keep looking out of the window. The hot tub was a lovely treat after along day walking. The little extras in the cottage ( fresh eggs, milk and shower gel etc) we’re a lovely finishing tough. Richard and Amy are lovely and are on hand for anything you should need. Thank you for making our time away amazing. Steph Mick and Eric

"Absolutely wonderful time at cottage, hot tub was huge and bed were very very comfy!"
Would definitely recommend
-
"We had a 6 day getaway as two couples with two dogs- we had a fantastic time!"
Before going we had some anxieties about it being on a working farm (connected to the farmhouse) because we have a nervous rescue dog. However the setting was quiet and we were able to let the dogs roam free in the enclosed patio area. We didn't need to stress and the owners had no problem with the nervous dog. The hot tub was great after the many walks in the surrounding gorgeous countryside! The cottage itself is of a high standard and is equipped with most things we needed. Comfy beds, good hot showers and huge living area are best points. All in all it was a great holiday, where we were able to chill out, enjoy good company and drink some cocktails in a home away from home. Would definitely book again.
-
"Apple tree cottage is just stunning, the dressing gown and slippers for the use of the hot tub was a nice touch."
Would definitely book again.
-
"We booked this property as it had a hottub."
We were there for 6 days. After day 3 the hot tub started to smell and get grimy. Nobody came yo test the chemicals do we didn't use it for the rest of the holiday.
-

Had a lovely stay wonderful views cottage beautifully designed and well equipped only downside not so dog friendly outside no real area to let dogs run around without leads
-
"The cottage was lovely and very well equipped with everything you would need."
The hot tub was fantastic and the robes and slippers a nice touch. I would highly recommend staying here.
-
"We had a lovely time all of us and our two bulldogs"
-
"Fully equipped property for every need."
Location is remote but to be appreciated rather than frowned upon. Plan your shopping needs in advance and any holiday can be one to really relax and enjoy in a stunning area
-
"Beautiful cottage in the perfect setting for exploring on your doorstep or further afield in the stunning Yorkshire Dales and Lake District."
I must stress though that the Eden Valley is stunning too. The cottage has everything to make your holiday perfect. Decorated to a very high standard, very clean, comfortable beds. Lovely little extras - fresh eggs, slipper, dressing gown, toiletries. The horses are very entertaining to watch and just sitting out on the balcony, taking in the views. I will definitely return.
-
"Our stay at Apple Tree Cottage more than exceeded our expectations."
Such a treat after the year we have had. The cottage is beautiful and very modern & I can’t believe how will equipped it is. All the little touches from fresh eggs, slippers, dressing gown & more cutlery than we knew what to do with. The hosts were very welcoming, made us feel very at home & left us to our own devices but are on hand if needed. The hot tub was amazing. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!
-
"We have just returned from an amazing week at Apple Tree Cottage."
The cottage itself is clean, beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped. I'd packed odd bits I thought we might need, but everything had been provided, from tea towels to washing up liquid, it had everything, even fresh eggs on arrival! The hot tub and log burner were perfect and made it all the more special for us. The hosts were very kind, they checked everything was ok and were on hand if we needed anything. They were very animal friendly; one of our dogs is a nervous rescue and barks at anything, but the hosts were un-phased which helped make our stay all the more enjoyable. The dogs had free run of the patio area which was more than enough for them after full days of fresh air, walking and exploring, they were so tired! The location is stunning, so quiet and peaceful, lots of birds and wildlife, as well as the sheep, horses, chickens and dogs. We were well situated to visit the lakes but also found Kirkby Stephen just as scenic with some lovely walks, as well as Appleby which had the best butchers! I'd thoroughly recommend this cottage, especially for families or couples looking for a romantic getaway. We all loved being in the farm environment and feel well rested and inspired.

"The cottage was lovely, set in beautiful scenery."
It was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Although the dishwasher was still full from the previous customers when we arrived. However, it does not clearly state that the hosts live next door, connected to the cottage. The host text me to ask us not to use the hot tub after 10pm! This was not stated in the advert, and to be honest, spoilt our holiday. We felt like we were walking on egg shells for the rest of the week and didn't even use the hot tub for the last couple of days. Furthermore, we were asked not to let our dog off the lead on site. We have a very well behaved collie who is an ex-working dog. He doesn't even bark! But their dogs roamed free and the big brown one chased my partner, barking at him, twice! So we didn't have anywhere close by to exercise our dog. This is not what I would consider to be 'dog friendly' for customers yet 4 dogs were jumping around us when we were trying to pack up our car to leave. The hot tub is not private as it faces the small caravan park. The advert makes it seem as though the cottage is very private! I would suggest they put slip mats on the floors of the wet room style bathrooms! And they might want to consider putting some carpet on the wooden stairs as my partner slipped on them hurting his back! We were supposed to have a washer drier, but on the first (Friday) night I found it was broken. They didn't come to look at it until Monday. They said they would order a new one on Tuesday. We heard nothing further. On Friday (the day we left) they had a new one delivered. Not at any time did the host offer to wash our towels or have the courtesy to give us extra, due to not providing the facility advertised. I would only reccomend that people who are older and do not intend to have any fun or need any privacy book this cottage. We felt as though we were not welcome and were more of a hindrance to the host. Very disappointing.

"Spent 2 new years at Apple Teee and we have loved it, this year it was already booked and we have missed it."
The only down side os the distance to the nearest pub, which is 4.5 miles, no big deal if you like walking as we do. The cottage is absolutely stunning and luxurious !
-
"Stunning little cottage"

Fantastic cottage good location to get around the lakes very modern and had everything we required it didn’t disappoint at all we had a wonderful week here we really enjoyed the hot tub after a day exploring I would recommend this cottage and we will be back Again,
-
"Was absolutely fantastic, when we arrived we just couldn’t believe what a little hidden gem it was."
We should of been getting married the weekend of us coming so was nice just to get away and relax and not have to think about anything. We had some lovely walks with our little pooch and a good relaxing time in the hot tub which was amazing just watching the world go by Will definitely be booking again! Thankyou for a lovely stay
-
"Beautifully decorated and equipped barn conversion with a great wood burner and fab hot tub."
Enjoying the sun on the balcony was an unexpected pleasure.
-
"Loved it. Secure for our dogs."
Plenty of places to visit. Modern build with all mod cons. Would highly recommend coming here
-
"This cottage was originally booked for April, but we we forced to re-schedule it for August."
I was a bit dissapointed by Sykes original attidude that we couldn't have a refund, which they later reversed. There was nothing wrong with the accomadation - very high quality. Quiet location but close enough to the lakes and the N yorks moors. Hot tub was great after a hard days walking.
-
"Great little barn conversion for a relaxing get away we had a lovely week ."
Campsite next door very no noise lovely residents .
-
"Beautiful cottage, spotless."
Absolute luxury. We spent our days relaxing and eating our home cooked food (excellent kitchen facilities to use) and our evenings in the hot tub and by the log burner. Our 1 year old was very comfortable in the travel cot and high chair provided too. There were even luxurious toiletries to use in the bathrooms which were kind to our skin and hair and smelled beautiful too. We would definitely recommend and we plan to return in the future.
-
"Absolutely fantastic place to stay."
Very clean and modern yet with a traditional feel. Great location between Appleby and Kirkby Stephen. Great layout and the extras of washer/dryer and hosepipe outside for muddy boots really top it off! The hot tub was a hit with everyone! Definitely be returning!
-
"The location was beautiful and remote, the property was spotlessly clean."
Being supplied complimentary free range eggs straight from the farm was a nice touch.
-
"The Cottage was a fantastic place to relax and spend time unwinding."
Everything we needed was catered for and I wouldn't have changed a thing. The owners were very welcoming and were very happy to help with ensuring our stay was as pleasant as possible. I would recommend this Cottage to anyone.
-
"The cottage was absolutely fantastic."
Location was perfect, views were stunning and everything about the cottage had been put together really well.
-
"Gorgeous cottage."
Warm, comfy, relaxing, peaceful, dog friendly. Immaculate and clean. Hot tub a must and we had never used one previously. Fab area and not too touristy. We highly recommend a stay here.
-
"The most amazing home!"
Absolutely spotless with the lovely touch of the complimentary items. Hot Tub was amazing. Will defiantly be booking again.
-
"Absolutely beautiful lodge!"
-
"A stunningly converted cowshed!"
! The fit and finish are beautiful, oak floors and doors. Very high spec indeed. Well equipped and the benefit of a huge hot tub. A bit off the beaten track but don't let that put you off. Close to Kirby Stephen and there are some lovely pubs not too far away. Friendly owners and well seasoned wood for the epic woodburner!
-
"This cottage is beautiful!"
! Very high standard of finish. The views from the upper floors are breathtaking. Great to see farm animals wondering around.
-
"What a fabulous cottage!"
Immaculate and so luxurious. We loved it, especially the hot tub! Just a shame our stay was only two nights. I would recommend this cottage with no hesitation
-
"Very nice holiday accommodation, clean and well equipped."
The fact that is upside-down makes the best of the scenery. Hot tub is a lovely bonus.
-
"Cottage was absolutely amazing, with fantastic high quality facilities."
Cleanliness was perfect, nice area lovely people who own the cottage. Hot tub facilities which husband loved. Would definetly go back to this cottage. Looking at maybe early next year.

"What can I say."
. this is an absolutely beautiful cottage, in a fabulous location. Very well equipped and finished to a very high standard! Would definitely recommend.
-
"One word to describe this cottage, amazing!"
It is located on a small farm which has a number of animals, horses, sheep, cows to name but a few. We took our young daughter who loved looking at and feeding the animals. Views from the cottage are spectacular and even nicer when you are sat in the sun having a BBQ. The cottage is very well equipped, the tea, coffee and milk were a lovely touch after a long journey. The fresh farm eggs were delicious. The bedrooms and bathrooms are both spacious and very well decorated. The hot tub was clean and was a great way to spend the evenings relaxing, the robes and slippers were also a nice touch. Everyone we spoke to at the farm were very friendly and especially the cottage owners who were on hand should we have needed anything. We would recommend this property to anyone and had a superb holiday and can't wait to go back!
-
"Absolutely amazing week."
the cottage was immaculate, hot tub was amazing and the hosts were exceptional. we are already looking to book up again next year!!
-
"Clean and comfortable."
Hot tub was brilliant and the facilities excellent. Really nice area and easy to find! Beautiful building.
-
"The only thing I would suggest is fitting a fly catcher."
Being situated on a farm there's an abundance of flies so leaving the doors open in summer let's the bugs in. Otherwise a fantastic place to relax and unwind.
-
"Wonderfully presented, modern cottage done to a high standard."
-
"By far the most beautifully modern cottage we have ever stayed in!"
Set on a lovely little farm where Amy and Richard could be easily found if needed. Extremely dog friendly and the hot tub didn’t fail to impress! We were disappointed when we had to check out as could have easily lived in the cottage! One word.. perfection. Thank you for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable Amy x
