  • "A very good quality holiday let."

    The interior was thoughtfully designed, clean, comfortable and equipped with everything that you would need. The flowers and scones were a nice welcoming touch. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We had a lovely stay here.

  • "This is a comfortable, tastefully furnished cottage."

    Well equipped with everything you need for a cosy stay. Lots to do in the surrounding area, especially if you like history.

  • "We were very impressed with The Flat."

    It was comfortable and tastefully furnished. In fact it is one of the nicest we have stayed in. There was milk and butter in the fridge and homemade scones on the side, which was a lovely touch. There was even freshly cut flowers on the table. Communication with Marion was very good. The Flat was an ideal base to explore either the Lakes, Hadrians Wall or Dumfrieshire, which is what we did. There is a good pub in the Village and another near by. Both serve delicious food, especially The Drovers Rest. We had a lovely time and would book The Flat again if we wanted to further explore the area.

  • "Lovely property - ideal for 2."

    Very spacious, lovely soft furnishings and finishing touches - a real home from home. Well equipped. The hosts were very welcoming - amazing scones awaiting us on arrival - and on hand if there were any issues. The arrival information available in the property was very helpful with the hosts adding their own comments and recommendations - Cranston's was a great recommendation for breakfast and sells the best pork pie! The Flat is an ideal base for exploring the top of Cumbria which is a beautiful area - we will be back.

    Thankyou! We renovated this property earlier in the year with what we would want in a holiday cottage in mind. Comfort, homeliness, cleanliness but stylish too. We think we’ve ticked all these boxes! Property Owner

  • "Spent an enjoyable week despite the terrible weather."

    The utility room made this possible for drying off wet jackets and dog coats. Decor is excellent. Local pub is very welcoming and provides good beer and food.

    Glad you enjoyed your stay, we think a nice cosy warm environment is important especially at this time of year. Our biomass boiler enables us to provide that with ease. Property Owner

  • "Gorgeous little flat."

    Totally perfect for me as a single guy working in the area. The kitchen had all the crockery, utensils and utilities you`d need to cook for yourself. Nice bathroom with sundries in the shower for your use. Nice quality towels. Private parking at the door. Comfy bed and smart TV. Wifi was great. Communication with Marion the owner was excellent. Will certainly stay again if am in the area. Highly recommended.

    The pictures don't do it justice. Great location in a beautiful village with a nice welcoming local pub. The hosts were lovely and friendly but also left you to it. Would definitely recommend.

  • "A beautiful small cottage, just right for two people."

    The cottage is well appointed and well maintained. Everything was super clean. It is situated in a quiet village with a pub. We ate at the pub and the food was good, honest pub grub. They also do a popular Sunday roast. We had our dog with us and there were some good walks around the village.

Boasting off-road parking for one car, warm, well-presented interiors, and proximity to nearby amenities, this charming property invites a couple searching for their next romantic, semi-rural escape.

Park up and unpack before settling into your fabulous new lodgings, where you'll find a range of impeccably-designed living areas.

A fully-equipped kitchen contains all the appliances the chosen chef will need to whip up a delicious, romantic dinner for two, whilst a well-appointed living area complete with a dining table, plush corner sofa, and an elegant, wall-mounted Smart TV welcomes you to relax and unwind as you enjoy a film and a glass or two of your favourite tipple.

When sleep calls, be sure to refresh with a rejuvenating shower before you finally retire for a well-earned rest in the double bedroom.

After you've savoured your morning coffee on the front patio as you watch the world go by, be sure to head out and explore what your local area has to offer.

Stock up on essentials the Burgh By Sands Post Office (limited opening hours), before you strap on your walking boots to head up north on foot to the historical King Edward I Monument.

Afterwards, settle down for a delicious pub lunch at the Greyhound Inn before you head back to relax back at your lovely new dwelling.

If you're up for day out, make the short car journey east into the neighbouring city of Carlisle, where you can find a wealth of fun things to do, such as roaming the marvellous, 12th century grounds of Carlisle Castle; brush up on more local history at the Guildhall Museum and the Tullie, before you sit down to a enjoy a date at the Thin White Duke, a restaurant set in a converted monastery, or Amatos, a casual Italian option set just a stone's throw away from the banks of the River Caldew.
