Home in the Farm
A working farm - grew to love it all. Facility was well furnished. Matthew is definitely a worker. As a former farm owner in Virginia we recognize the work involved and admired the product. The directions (Turn at —-) could be clearer. Thank you for sharing your home.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay, the house was really clean and as described. Perfect for a few nights away with our pup. The house has everything we needed and Matthew was friendly and helpful with questions. The property is in a great location, private enough but within a short drive of the centre of Keswick. Would definitely recommend.

Small.Quirky little cottage. Low beams, uneven walls and floors. Needs some tlc. Loved the garden. Wifi very poor. A little out of the way. Quiet. Fine as a base. Village 25 minutes walk away. We had a lovely weekend with glorious weather. Owners next door, handy if you need to know anything.

Wonderful Cozy Farm Cottage
Wonderful and cozy. Modernized but with an old-world feel. The cottage is on a working farm and a bit off the main roads. However, google maps took us directly there. It is up a one-lane road and then a small paved track through the farm. We found it had everything we needed and was a fun location to use for exploring the lake district. I would recommend dinner at the Ravenstone Manor just a few miles down the road. Matthew was a great host. Communicated well and quickly responded. The cottage was very clean.

Lovely little hideaway
I booked this very late and the owner (Matt) was very helpful. A very quaint and beautiful cottage in a very quiet and rural part of Keswick. The pictures are exact to the cottage which is also very clean and has everything you need for any length of stay. A very relaxing and peaceful weekend and we look forward to staying again. Thoroughly recommend. Thank you Matt 😊

The location was great, as was the cottage. Our only gripe was that the bed could have been more comfortable

Beautiful cottage, very quaint. Clean and modern amenities. Close to most of the Lakes, and very cosy. A few issues; map location points to a cottage at the entrance to farm, not the cottage itself, which is amongst farm sheds. There was no signage explaining you need to drive further to the cottage. Also, a selection of DVDs sitting under the TV but absolutely no device to play DVDs? Also wifi coverage in the house is terrible.
