Reviews
"Arrived to one of the most stunning areas, the cottage however was disappointing-no soap in the cottage at all to be able to wash our hands before unpacking, lots & lots of flies. The beds were extremely hard to the extent we left earlier than planned. 3 glasses for the 4 of us. Beautiful area but the cottage could be so much better. Definitely 5* location but not 5* accommodation."
"We wanted a remote cottage so that we could enjoy walking straight from the door. The Hayloft is in a wonderful setting with fabulous views from the windows. It was clean and very comfortable. We arrived late due to heavy snow and a log fire was waiting for us. Lambs were being born. Birds constantly visited the numerous feeders. We were made very welcome and John helped us out when our breakdown company failed to arrive until six hours after they were contacted. We intend to return."
"Just returned from a fabulous week with friends. Excellent accommodation, ideally situated for walking, cycling, or just relaxing. Spacious Sitting Room, well fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with en-suites. Oh, and a very handy store room where you can put your bikes etc. John & Fiona live in the working farm next door and they are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Some people might regard the location as a bit remote but if you look at the map before you book you should know what to expect i.e. it's quiet and secluded with picturesque, easy walks to Littletown tea room or Swinside pub. We parked our cars by the cottage when we arrived and didn't move them until we left a week later. Walk to Hawes End and catch the bus to Buttermere etc or the launch on Derent Water to Keswick or elsewhere on the lake. Plenty of nearby Wainwright hills for more serious walkers. We'll be back. Thanks again Fiona & John PS - hope you enjoyed the party on Friday night.... Ruth, Dave, Linda & John"
"To Fiona and John apologies for this belated review of the Hayloft in Braithwaite from John, Celia and family who visited in early November last year. The Hayloft is a tremendous holiday cottage displaying all the attributes any guest could possibly wish for. From the welcome on day one to the time of our departure our seven day stay was a wonderful experience. Fiona and John were perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Together with our black labrador pup Cole we all loved the isolation of the location and our many local walks (even in the rain) were thoroughly enjoyed. It is a perfect venue to use as a base to tour the Northern Lakes and nearby Keswick is an excellent lakeland town. The week we visited the weather was extremely wet and it was not too long after we left the serious flooding in the area started to occur. This meant we did spend more time in the cottage than we had planned but because the cottage is so lovely and cosy this extra time spent indoors was not the slightest problem. The two bedrooms with their own en suites with the living area in between is quite near to perfection. My wife totally loved the layout and would have been happy to have stayed longer. Would we recommend the Hayloft to a friend - Yes we most certainly would."
"From the moment we arrived all was perfect. The location is stunning and far enough 'out of the way' to be wonderfully quiet. But close enough to village shop and further afield to not feel cut off. Walks from your back door and the hills all around. Excellent hosts on a working farm. The property is 5 star and equipped to a very high standard.. There is a log burner to die for, with plenty of fuel, along with oil central heating. A spacious & homely environment. Both bedrooms have roomy en suite bathrooms, and great showers. The lighting within the open plan can be dimmed throughout, this we found to be a pleasant touch. The building is full of character but tastefully renovated with a crisp modern feel. Laminate flooring and carpeted bedrooms. Plenty of books, dvd's, games with guides and maps to allow you to explore or relax. Views from the windows are awesome. See attached photo's. A positively great experience. Cockermouth a few miles further North, offers a good deal too, well worth a look for shopping. Thank you Fiona and John."
"The Hayloft is a recently renovated holiday let and everything is in tip-top condition. The owners are very friendly and helpful and I really enjoyed the touches of fresh flowers and posh biscuits! Located on a working farm, we took our dog with us and were able to do some cracking walks from straight out of the back door. I really appreciated the wi-fi too as it meant that we were able to keep in touch with 'the outside world'. I would definitely stay there again and would be happy to recommend it to friends and family."
"We received a very warm welcome and the owners were happy to talk to us about the farm as thsy went about their work. The property was ideal for two couples with the luxury of two en suite double bedrooms. It had undergone an imaginative conversion and was well equipped. The location was superb and extra special as lambing was under way.It is difficult to find a criticism of this property as it is the best one we have ever hired."
"This is a beaur=tiful cootage set on a a quiet farm with walks from your doorstep. The owners are very helpful and the accomodation is first class. There is everything you need. Stunning views and location. We will go back here."
"We had a great week despite the wet weather and walking from the door was superb. Well fitted and excellent heating both central heating and a wood burning stove. The owners were very helpful."
"Amazing location with superb views. A very clean, comfortable, modern and well equipped cottage. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. It is a short drive down a rough track but well worth it. Other tracks from the cottage can be walked or cycled. I would very highly recommend this cottage to anyone wishing to visit the Lake District."
