Not only that but it was spotless, very well equipped and in a lovely part of the country ideal for someone looking for a quiet break away from the crowd. Jenia, the hostess, was a great hostess and I have no worries recommending this to others looking for a peaceful break in this area. ##### Paul C.

My partner went down with a virus as soon as we got there, and if you have to be sick on holiday, this is the place to do it. Plenty of room for both of us, and the couch was ridiculously comfortable for me to sleep on. Happily, we were able to extend our stay until she felt better. Jenia was very helpful and sympathetic. I loved being near a small town where I could shop for cooking at home in a well-provided kitchen - and the gorgeous Lanercost Priory such a short drive away for some solo touristing. ##### Ellen K.

Warm, comfortable and so much space for us and our two small dogs. Really well equipped and a welcome of fresh eggs and homemade jams. We will certainly try to book again in the future when the need arises. ##### vernon o.

It has its own enclosed garden and guests can also access the owners' orchard and small wood which was great for short dog walks. The owners are next door and extremely helpful and kind but not at all intrusive. The little village of Farlam is fine for wandering down the lane to, and Talkin Tarn is a short walk away. Other walks are a short drive away. Highly recommended. ##### Ruth H.

Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Anita C. 17 Sept 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Excellent location The cottage is ideally situated on the outskirts of the village and benefits from peace and quiet for a totally relaxing holiday. Surprisingly much more spacious than the photos show. The large secure garden was perfect for letting our dog wander freely with no worries. Many walks on the doorstep but these were along minor roads so dogs need to be on lead but lots of off lead walks a short drive away. Can recommend Gelt Woods, Talkin Fell (cattle for a short distance) and many parts of Hadrian’s wall, again some cattle may be encountered along the route. We had a fabulous meal at The Duke of Cumberland at Castle Carrock and food served all day! Unfortunately we did find the bed extremely uncomfortable and lumpy pillows which need replacing, however well equipped kitchen with everything we needed and nice lounge area. Overall despite the bed our stay was relaxing and enjoyable and Jenia the owner was on hand at all times without being obtrusive. ##### Anita C.

The cottage was wonderful, well equipped & clean as well as comfy. We immediately felt at home, and couldn’t believe how spacious the cottage was. We especially loved the garden that had the sun all day until about 8pm and the sounds of the sheep & cows was a delight. Jenia was on site if required but not intrusive. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture, fresh eggs & homemade jams.. yum! We enjoyed our stay here and exploring the surrounding sites of talkin tarn, gelt woods and Brampton with all the antique shops to name a few. Overall, highly recommended.
