"La'al Crag was a completely idyllic retreat that gave us a well earned break ftom the stresses of life!"
We absolutely loved the peace and quiet with the only sounds being the occasional bleating of the really cute goats. The cottage was warm and welcoming, as were the surprise gifts of biscuits and wine from the hosts. The most comfy bed awaited us after an evening spent in front of the log fire and the hosts were only next door if needed. Thank you x

"A charming remote cottage, lovely to see the animals out the window."
Lovely and peaceful and quiet. Very comfy bed. Every welcome pack is different; we generally prefer milk instead of wine, so we can have tea on arrival. Hosts were friendly when husband bumped into them. The cottage is old, as most old property can be a little damp, but this should not impact on visit. We had a great holiday, and very comfortable.

"Lovely spotlessly clean cosy cottage with beautiful views."
Thoughtfully decorated and well equipped. Extremely peaceful and relaxing location with plenty to do, including walks from the door and lots in the area. Friendly but not intrusive owners. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

"Lovely spotlessly clean and well equipped cottage in a beautiful location with plenty to do close by."
The animals at the farm were an added bonus.
-
"Beautifully restored old farmhouse keeping most of the original charm but equipped for modern comfort."
The views were gorgeous and the cottage's garden was well-kept. Horses and goats are on site and add another charm to the holiday experience. We found the owners to be friendly and being next door meant that if there had have been any problems (which there weren't) they would have helped. A fantastic, quiet retreat where you can chill out in comfort.

"LA'AL Cragg is the most beautiful cottage, not only it was completely spotless and beautifully furnished, with a perfect garden, but the owners have thought of everything."
We absolutely loved the cottage and its surroundings. The owners were so kind and thoughtful and we loved the eggs and the welcome basket - thank you! We had the most wonderful time, but best of all was being able to relax in the peace and tranquilly of LA'AL Cragg, feeding the ponies and listening to the birds.This really is a hidden gem. Thank you so much.

"We stayed in La’al in June, seeking the peace, quiet and beauty of the area."
The cottage is beautifully situated, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked from scratch every evening without difficulty. The owners, Andy and Lindsay, live next door to the property and were delightful - friendly and helpful but never intrusive. We enjoyed watching the horses and goats in the evenings, as well as the local wildlife in the immaculate garden. There was plenty to do in the local area and the countryside was stunningly beautiful. We loved it so much that we fully intended to book again in August but someone else got there first. Lucky them!

"A wonderful, well-equipped and spotless cottage."
A great location for cycling in the Yorkshire Dales, as well as walking in The Lakes. Lovely to see the sheep and ponies every morning out of the window, before the stunning views. A place we would definitely recommend and hopefully return to ourselves. We loved it!

"Absolutely beautiful genuine cottage home."
If you’re looking for a getaway within Lake District area. This is the go to place!! Everything you need from biscuits to a tumble dryer they have it. Really nice farm area and very incognito away from the world. The owners next door are really nice. Thanks for having us Andy. Do have to say really like the honesty box. I bought a few items that caught my eye. God bless thanks again!

"La'al crag is a lovely property, very comfortable and attractively presented."
The owners, who live in the adjoining building could not be more helpful and welcoming. They keep fell ponies, goats and a few other animals which are a pleasure to see. The property is off the beaten track in a very rural area, which is great if you like walking and open countryside; we had a great week and were lucky to have dry weather. There are castles, churches and villages which are worth visiting within reasonable driving distance.
-
"The cottage is so beautifully decorated and everything is to a high standard."
There is everything that you need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The only thing which is required are curtains to the kitchen and lounge downstairs as this will provide more privacy to guests whom stay there. The location is amazing and the owners are very nice people. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone who wants a lovely and relaxing break away.

"Our stay at La’al Cragg was a joy from start to finish."
The property is set on a farm and surrounded by fields and peace and calm. Just what we needed after a busy few months. The owners were really friendly and helpful. Nothing was a bother. The house was warm and cosy and the kitchen was amazing as was the log burner. A property we would like to return to next year.

"A relaxing break in a beautiful farmland setting."
The owners have thought of everything to make this cottage a comfortable experience.

About the location
KIRKBY STEPHEN
Appleby-in-Westmorland 12 miles; Sedbergh 13 miles; Barnard Castle 21 miles; Penrith 22 miles; Reeth 22 miles; Kendal 23 miles; Middleton-in-Teesdale 27 miles; Ullswater Lake 35 miles..
Brough is a small town located in the Eden Valley, at the foot of the North Pennines, just four miles north of Kirkby Stephen and eight miles east of Appleby-in-Westmorland. It is a twin village, the southern part, Church Brough, lies on a former Roman road and was the setting for the Norman Brough Castle (once the site of a Roman camp), while the northern area, Market Brough, is sited on a medieval road. The difference in the two villages relates to the functions they once served; Church Brough’s houses stand around a market square decorated with a maypole, while Market Brough boasts a wide and long main street. The village’s claim to fame lies in its 18th-19th century importance as a coaching town for the England-Scotland run, where more than 10 inns catered to the stagecoach trade. A beautiful sleepy backwater, it is surrounded by traditional farm meadows and picturesque pastures and fells. Nearby, the traditional market town of Kirkby Stephen, once home to cotton mills and a large manufacturer of shoes and woollen hats, today hosts a variety of shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs for every taste and budget. Enjoy many excellent walks and cycle routes nearby; explore Penrith, Appleby and the magnificent Howgill Fells, enjoy a drink in Tan Hill, England's highest pub, or take a ride on the Settle-Carlisle railway. A superb location, with the whole of the mystical Lake District National Park and the stunning Yorkshire Dales at your fingertips.
