• "Our stay was very peaceful and relaxing."

  The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen and living room had everything that you needed. We were given wine and milk as a nice welcome, too. We managed to see the red squirrel and loved all the birds that were surrounding us. The only noises you could hear at night were foxes and cows mooing. Would highly recommend

• "Lovely quiet setting, the cottage is a fabulous size."

  The quality of the bedding and bathroom towels are excellent, spotlessly clean. My only negative comment is that for me the sofa/chair requires new padding in the seat cushions very soft plus you sink down to much. That’s just me being picky other guests may like it. I will definitely recommend to friends/family we will be back.

• "A cottage full of character and set in a stunning location - surrounded by beautiful countryside."

  The host was very welcoming and helpful, and the property had everything that was needed for self catering - even a washing machine & dryer! The enclosed courtyard was a haven for wildlife such as Red Squirrel, Woodpeckers, and a variety of small birds. It was lovely to sit and watch them feed from feeders. We had a wonderful stay, and would highly recommend staying here......

  It was warm, clean, comfortable and we saw many beautiful birds in the back garden. The location was lovely - we visited Rutter Falls Waterfall nearby, explored Kirby Stephen, walked to Nine Standards and had a great daytrip to Keswick where we climbed Skiddaw. We felt very welcomed by our hosts who encouraged us to arrive and leave any time we wanted on our check in and check out days. We highly recommend this accommodation :)

  The cottage itself is gorgeous and so comfortable with everything you could need. The underfloor heating keeps everyone toasty while you relax. The owners are fantastic and assisted us with navigating the local area and made sure we were happy and didn't need anything with a warm welcome. We would love to return in the summer and see the area in bloom. Thank you.

• "Chris met us on a dark rainy evening and welcomed us to the cottage."

  The welcome pack was much appreciated, thank you. The cottage is so homely, after each day out it felt like coming home. Only one downside, wifi was not good unless we stood in the kitchen, but that was a minor issue. We have already booked to come again next spring.

• "2nd visit this year."

  In May in the feedback I mentioned that a towel rail would be helpful in the bathroom, this time it was there! hosts who listen to suggestions just brilliant. Another fantastic stay. Every bit as good as last time, warm, clean and comfortable. Have stayed in a few cottages in the area and this is our favourite. Trish and Chris there if you need them, very helpful but not intrusive. Loved watching the birds in comfortable surroundings. Top marks guys - well done

• "Very cosy with a farm house feel."

  The property was comfortable with tasteful decor. Very well resourced. There was everything I needed such as tea, coffee, milk, soap, washing up liquid etc. No need to bring those kind of things. I was made to feel very welcome by the hosts. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and a nice touch. The location was scenic and peaceful. I loved being nestled in the mountains. Views were amazing. The garden area was beautiful. I enjoyed a glass of wine on an afternoon whilst watching the busy birds and red squirrel. Great for dogs, there was plenty of space for her to roam around indoors. Lots to do within the area of Kirkby Stephen. The Podgill viaduct walk was easy to follow and no stiles, so great for dogs. Very scenic walk with easy access. Smardale viaduct is also very pretty. No difficult Stiles to navigate with a dog. The roads are very tiny around Smardale so I wouldn't recommend going with a campervan!

  The situation was stunning even though it was next to a road it was very quiet. One thing that would have been helpful, a towel rail in the bathroom! Lovely very helpful hosts. Watching the variety of birds visiting the feeders (which were replenished each day) was just great. The woodpecker was a delight. Hope to visit again in the Autumn and will certainly recommend to friends and family.

• "Simply put, a little taste of heaven."

  We loved this charming and comfy cottage and didn’t want our stay to end. Regular visits by birds to the feeders in the garden were an added bonus (including the Great Spotted Woodpeckers - a first for us). The hosts (Chris and Trish) are a truly lovely couple living next door, there if we needed anything and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you both so much. When we visit the area again, this will be our first choice.

  Had everything we needed from loo rolls to a lovely complimentary bottle of wine. Trish and Chris were super hosts and couldn’t do enough for us. Saw my first ever red squirrel in the cottage garden, well worth the trip in itself. Lots of info in the cottage on walks, books, dvd ‘s and jigsaws to keep you entertained if weather poor. Sat nav got a little confused took us down a single track road for miles, so I recommend to head for Kirby Stephen town center then turn at the roundabout. (Much easier)

• "The cottage is in a great location, with quick access to local walks, the Dales and the Lakes district."

  Kirkby-Stephen is close, with good shopping, dining, and support for outdoor adventurers. The owner is polite, helpful and unobtrusive. The cottage is reasonably well equipped, roomy, and very well heated throughout with in-floor heating. The King-size bed is very comfortable. The WiFi is terrible - it only works 50% of the time and tends to be intermittent, making it often impossible to check emails or use Google maps/Earth. We found internet connectivity improved if used in the kitchen, suggesting that the router is located too far from the cottage. Otherwise, we had a great week there and would certainly return.
