Things to note before you book

The cottage is available from 3pm on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 10am on the day of departure. (Departure time for Short Breaks will be agreed)

 

Pets are allowed on the understanding that no sign of the pet is evident in the cottage or garden at the time of departure.  You will need to bring bed/food bowls etc for your pet.

 

If you have a baby/toddler you will need to bring a travel cot and bedding plus all necessary equipment.  

 

Smoking is not allowed in the cottage.  

 

Please note the stairs are quite steep and so elderly guests and those with small children may want to discuss the suitability with us prior to booking.

 

All bed linen is provided and all beds will be made up before your arrival.  

 

For a 2 week stay the cleaner will come in on the middle weekend (Saturday morning at approx 10am) and change the bed linen and clean the cottage. 

 

Towels can be supplied at an additional cost of £5 per set (one hand and one bath towel). Please request number of sets required when you book.  

 

Following receipt of your deposit, you will be sent confirmation of your reservation.  The contract of hire, and liability for the full rental, becomes effective on dispatch of this confirmation.

The balance of the rental must be received six weeks before your holiday commences, otherwise the booking may be deemed as cancelled.

In the event of cancellation more than 6 weeks before the start of your holiday your deposit will not be refunded unless the property is re-let for the same period.  Should cancellation take place less than 6 weeks before the start of the holiday the rental is payable in full.   It is therefore recommended that you take out holiday insurance.

To make a preliminary booking or for further information please call us on 0161 928 6290 or email here

This picture was taken on a circular walk from the cottage. The walk takes you from Threlkeld, past Tewitt Tarn,  to Low and then High Rigg. There is a lovely farm tea-shop half way around and then you return alongside the river in the valley bottom

'It was so nice to arrive at your cottage to find everything and 

more we ever needed to cater for our stay. 

It felt like home from the time we walked in. 

The cottage is beautifully decorated and comfortable'

'Absolutely fantastic cottage - perfect in everyway. Had a fabulous week -

but wanted to stay much longer, so much to do'

Mr & Mrs H  -Cambridgeshire

 

A lovely cottage, well-equipped and situated.  

Loved the views from every window….

from here we’ve covered peaks, lakes, castles and waterfalls. 

Will certainly remember the cottage next time we visit the Lakes’
