Kirkoswald break

Had a lovely few days at Johns cottage / apartment in Kirkoswald.It’s actually bigger / better than the photos.All the facilities you could need, some left-over foods/ condiments was helpful.The area is gorgeous, especially if the weather is kind, lots of walks, and we did a few longer bike rides exploring the lanes.We headed into Penrith a couple of times, lots of little cafes/ shops to explore as well as tourist attractions.The local shop in Kirkoswald has just about everything you’ll need, and the volunteers as well as residents are all so polite and welcoming.We did need to contact John, he got straight back to us.We highly recommend Ravens Prospect for a get-away.

Second stay

Second stay, it’s like home from home, we love it and will not stay anywhere else, it’s absolutely perfect for what we need as a family, it allows us to be close to family and friends and feel like we are at home rather than on holiday, sad to leave. Thanks you again John so accommodating as always.

Cosy cottage near countryside walks

Clean, cosy and well equipped. In a rural village with two great pubs and a lovely community shop. Some super walks by the river and in near by hills. Very peaceful for those looking to escape from the commercial areas of the Lake District. Perfect.

Just right!

We enjoyed a very comfortable few nights here. The apartment is cosy, well stocked and in a lovely location. We found the drive into the Lake District National Park each day was easy and scenic after which we enjoyed spending an hour or 2 on the patio in the afternoons before going for an evening walk locally. Communication with John was always swift and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Raven Prospect

The property was well appointed and comfortable close to the centre of a small village with two pubs close to Penrith which was our main reason for choosing so we were close to family and new great grandson We would certainly book again and look forward to coming back Many thanks to John

Very nice cottage-style apartment in a superb location.

We had everything we needed for a few days away. The apartment is very well equipped and the beds were comfy....and most importantly it was peaceful and we heard no noise from any of the neighbours (who were all very friendly....even the magnificent cockerel with his brood of hens who occasionally wandered along the road). The area was lovely and the food at both pubs was great. Even though it was only April, we did manage to take advantage of the sunny aspect and sat out on the patio on at least one occasion. We would happily recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a quiet break with lovely walks from the doorstep.

Lovely location with access to the lakes, at a great price

Really good value for money. I was looking for the catch, as the house was cheaper than other comparable holiday rentals, but never found one, everything was wonderful. Perhaps it is just because it is a middle terrace, but wasn’t an issue. The lady next door told me she is hard of hearing, and my rowdy teenagers caused her no disturbance what-so-ever. The home is really well stocked with all the mod-cons meaning we didn’t have to go to the shop to buy anything extra due to it not being provided. There was even a spare hoodie in the wardrobe, which my daughter was able to borrow for her ascent up scaffol pike, having not carried sufficiently warm clothes. Lovely house in a picturesque location, and great access to the lakes and beyond, in a friendly and welcoming little community. If I’m being hyper critical the 3/5 for cleanliness was due to the fact it seemed to not have had a deep clean for a little bit. I only noticed this when I moved my side drawer to reach the plug and noticed it needed a hoover in places not usually visible, and also upon giving the bathroom floor a quick wipe upon exit there was more dirt on the tissue than my family could have generated in just four nights. But at less than £300 for four nights, I’d highly recommend a stay at this holiday let, in a peaceful and idylic village, but only a 20-45min drive to Carlyle, and Keswick

Village life

This property is exactly as listed. It was warm and cosy and very welcoming. It's very snug but great for a few days. Fantastic amount of crockery. One thing that was a bit annoying, it's a downstairs apartment, and who ever lives above is quite heavy footed.

Lovely accomodation in a gorgeous village

This is a well kept flat with everything you might need for your stay. Very close to Penrith and the Lakes but also Kirkoswald is a gorgeous little village itself with some lovely scenery. All the required information is provided beforehand very clearly and John is a great host replying to every query very quickly. Hopefully will be back soon!!

This is such a relaxing property to stay in and with river walks just around the corner and the village shop and pubs over the road. The northern lakes are on the doorstep with fabulous scenery whatever the weather. The real fire adds to the cozy feel of the place. This was our third stay and we will no doubt return again.
