Reviews
"Lovely weekend at Nuthatch cottage with our two dogs. The cottage had everything you could think of and was so comfortable and spotlessly clean. The welcome wine, milk and fruit was a lovely gesture. The cottage is ideal for dogs and our two loved the front garden that was safe and secure for them to run around. Lovely location, with some lovely walks for dog lovers close by. Would highly recommend and definitely return."
"Me and my partner and 2 dogs stayed here for a week. When arrived we was greeted with a clean and lovely cottage. The owners had left a bottle of wine and some milk as a welcome gift which was extremely lovely of them. The garden was fantastic for the dogs, enclosed so you knew they couldn't get out. It is set on a farm, however out of the way and you wouldn't even know. Loved the walks around the farm and the views were beautiful. I would definitely recommend and return. Thank you for a lovely stay."
"No cafe, no spa, very muddy, you are staying on a working farm, the cottage looks like a hut, but very nice inside, plus points very quiet, great views outside, not from the hut, really clean, great night views of the night sky, every thing outside looks run down, but again working farm, 125 milking cows, the valley is very pretty, I am trying to work out what has happened, its seems this place was very successful but some thing is missing, when you arrive you get a bottle of white wine,(cheap) tea bags but they could have been there for ever sugar milk and scones, again very nice plus freash fruit, all good, this place takes dogs this was the deal breaker for us, so all in all a great place for dogs with owners attached every one will have a great time"
"semi-det with another cottage on a farm, with a wonderful view and well away from any road. The place was spotlessly clean and the welcome pack a nice touch. You can walk straight from the door or drive to the Lakes or the sea (we did all three) We are sure to go back!"
"This cottage is well off the road so no noise.lovely views and great walks.very friendly owners and staff in the tea shop.very comfortable and all amenities you need."
"The cottage was everything that was promised plus we received a welcome pack of 1 bottle of wine, 2 homemade scones, 1 pint milk, tea bags, coffee & sugar & we were a few steps away from the owner's very good cafe serving homemade food. There was a sculpture trail in the valley very near our door as well as an onsite Spa with sauna, hot tub & a variety of beauty treatments."

"Good welcome pack in accommodation which was appreciated. The cottage was excellent for our requirements with a pet labrador. The location was well placed for touring Cumbria and the Lake District. Although we did not take advantage of the amenities they appeared well managed and very good. We liked the available walks through the valley especially with our dog. Although no doubt temporary ongoing contruction work made for very muddy conditions on the approach to the cottage. The settee was not the most comfortable for a weeks stay."
