Lovely home away from home

Julie's garden cottage is a delight. Beautiful peaceful location and lots of amenities just a short drive away. Julie's little touches of milk in the fridge and biscuits for hungry children always on the hunt for snacks was very thoughtful. :-)

Great property - compact but very well equipped - in a very good location: quiet, close to the river, use of a garden, a very hospitable host. A difference of opinion between host and website as to time of checkout but otherwise excellent and we would hope to visit again.

We should have stayed longer

In hindsight we should have been there for twice as many nights. The cottage was extremely well equipped, having everything that you might need for a longer stay. It was very peaceful and only a short drive from the Lake District, which was the main point of the visit. Paul and Julie were great hosts and seemed to be very tolerant of the foibles of their antipodean visitors? One piece of advice - don't visit the Lake District on a spring bank holiday weekend! It was manic!

Fantastic little cottage

Absolutely loved The Garden Cottage! Very warm, cosy and comfortable. The owner has clearly put a lot of thought into it, including everything you could need. If I was to make a suggestion I would have liked a USB socket or plug as I stupidly forgot mine so shared husband’s. But that is a minor thing and I am sure if I had asked Paul or Julie would have lent me one. We particularly appreciated the milk for a cuppa and the shortbread too! Hope to be back again!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Garden Cottage. The owners were so helpful and kindly lent us some fantastic books about the area, along with great local advice. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. The garden is beautiful and the views are just stunning – such a peaceful and special place. We only wish we lived closer, as we’d love to stay often!

Lovely place to stay in a beautiful area

We enjoyed a very relaxing break in a cottage that exceeded our expectations, complete with beautiful gardens. A great base to tour from, it is exceptionally clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and offered wonderful views of the area. Hosts were very helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Plenty of everything! The host was very accomodating and kind and the cottage had everything available. Well equipped kitchen, lovely and clean bathroom and beautiful garden area onsite. The bed was very comfortable and even a little wood stove for a cozy fire (starter kit of wood/fire starters, too). Great place for a get away.
