We all enjoyed our relaxing break at this very impressive property.
A very warm welcome greeted us at this very cosy and comfortable barn conversion located in the peaceful Cumbrian countryside.
Rural location but easy to find, secure car parking and plenty of space. Lovely clean rooms and bathrooms finished beautifully with great showers. Downstairs bedroom/shower room was perfect for elderly father who came with us.Only minor feedback which would have given 5* - similar priced rentals in other places provided a hamper on arrival and there were no terrestrial TV channels, the duvets were a little thin. It was very cold when we arrived but warmed up nicely with all the heaters on.
Treated Mum for her 97th birthday.Had a wonderful time Mum loved watching the chickens in the garden and really excited to see a hare.Had some excellent meals close by and even spotted red squirrels.An excellent weekend highly recommended.
Steve was a fabulous host and really went out of his way to make our stay a memorable one.We arrived to the beautiful Orchard View Cottage in horrendous weather and we’re super happy to see how gorgeous Orchard View was. The cotrage has been beautifully finished and all home comforts have been catered for.We managed to get out to the local pub on NYE and had an amazing meal and a great start to 2025.

Paul & Linda, thank you for your kind words, we try to pass on local knowledge relevant to the visitor & gauge what will be of interest. You'll love your winter break with the Pennines covered in snow, the winter walks very different to your summer strolls. We've plenty of dry logs for the fire, nice and cosy you can sit and surf the internet, however, I think all the red squirrels will be fast asleep for winter! Thanks for being model guests, look forward to seeing you in January 2014.
There is absolutely no way that our trip could have been improved. Stephen and Becky were superb hosts, with Stephen providing invaluable insight to the regions we wanted to visit. Their property is exactly as described, extremely tranquil, and the village is like stepping into a "quiet zone" from centuries ago. EVERYONE we spoke to in the little village were extremly friendly and our "kids" (50+) have already discussed a return visit. Highly recommend. property
The property was exactly as shown in the photos. Everything was clean with comfy beds, luxury bathrooms and spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen. The views were very pretty - rural, rolling hills and plenty of sheep. Outside the property there was plenty of seating for enjoying a glass of wine. The village was in easy walking distance but note that the pub is not open Mondays or Tuesdays. The owners were friendly and helpful. My only reservation (and this in no way spoilt our stay) was the sofa which was not built for comfort. Love to return and explore the area further
Classically beautiful rural England on the outside, modern, cozy and well appointed on the inside. Stephen is a font of local knowledge and Finn the border collie is a wonderful host! Stephen went out of his way to make us comfortable and it is in a quiet very rural area, but centrally located for access to the Lakes Region, Yorkshire Dales and all that Cumbria has to offer. Just make sure to get driving directions from Stephen, as there is spotty cell coverage there and even the car GPS brought us to the middle of a cow pasture. Once you’re there, the wifi is excellent (which was ever so important to the surly teenagers we had with us). The place is even nicer than the pictures!
Beautiful location, delightful cottage. Very clean and well equipped.
Steve could not have been more helpful with his recommendations, superb efficiency and charming manner.
A real gem of a place!

Amazing despite the rain
Fantastic is all that is needed. The property is wonderful and Stephen is more than welcoming. Inside, everything is clean and it has a lovely cozy feeling, which is strange since actually the property is quite spacious.
Surrounding the property is lovely green fields, so, if you get some bad weather then you can just relax. Also, for children, there is many animals around to look at and in the surrounding areas there are lots of activities for all types of weather.
Returning for a holiday to the UK, I was looking forward to a pint at the local pub, but the hours are quite irregular. This means that there is not much within walking distance for food or drink. However, there is a town around 5 miles away which will cater to most peoples' needs.
Overall, it was a lovely experience, especially for my children who were seeing farm animals for the first time.
