Smithy cottage was so peaceful. It is located next to a small stream which we found very soothing asleep to

美妙的国家设置在一个非常偏远的位置。废水是一个美丽的湖泊,有许多远足径到它周围。我们希望我们有更多的时间在那里度过。

Le Smithy était l'endroit idéal pour nos randonnées jusqu'à Scafell Pike, il a toutes les commodités qui ont rendu notre séjour plus confortable. Les images ne font pas la justice de la propriété ... l'escapade de week-end parfait! Madonna était un excellent hôte, très bien informé de la région et très accueillant. (Les Daffys fraîchement coupées étaient la touche parfaite.)

Fantastic place to stay, especially if you are after a retreat into the countryside. Madonna was very helpful with advice before the trip and also came to check that everything was ok. There are some great walks to do in the local area and a wonderful shower to come back to! Thanks Madonna.

The Smithy is in an idyllic setting. It is accessed up a narrow lane and is set within a farm yard. There are other properties close by which could be a problem if you want solitude, but we enjoyed the visits from the adorable old black lab and his dalmation friend, and watching the ponies being walked out and brought back each evening. The only noises we were conscious of were the stream behind the Smithy and the swallows in the yard-bliss for us from the bustle of down South! The interior of the Smithy has been tastefully decorated and is well equipped. We loved using the wood burner in the evening. The lack of wifi may be a problem if you were staying long, but a trip to the local pub, 15mins walk away, soon brings you up to date. We found phone signal variable but could usually be found at the front of the property. Madonna and Tony live in the nearby farmhouse and were helpful when we asked for directions or tips on places to eat etc. We found the Smithy a great place to stay to climb Scarfell Pike and explore the South-Western area, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

一座非常现代化的设备齐全的小屋在一栋古老的建筑中。良好的主人和一个美丽的位置。我们的同伴说当地的酒吧是美好的,如果你想吃饭,但厨房是伟大的进食。

靠近英格兰最高峰的幽静位置是一个愉快的地方。托尼是一个慷慨的主持人,而史密斯也是对我们而言。舒适的床和一个设备齐全的厨房添加到一个可爱的假期。

不错的房子。安静美丽,但没有wifi和互联网服务。

可爱轻松的地理位置和非常舒适的住宿环境。友好,热情的主机和步行距离之内的好酒吧:)肯定会留在这儿。

Loved our stay here. The accommodation was very clean and bed was super comfy. Perfect location for exploring the lakes without the tourists. Madonna was lovely, super helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Highly recommend this beautiful place

We had a great time at this place. It was peaceful and quiet and beautifully furnished. Madonna is an excellent host and provided everything we needed. We did some cycling from here and enjoyed the local restaurants very much. We would definitely recomend this place!!

My partner and I enjoyed a fabulous 2 nights at the Granary. Set in a beautiful part of the Lakes, it truly was a home away from home. Tea, coffee and milk were provided along with glasses, crockery and cutlery, microwave, toaster and fridge. The Granary was very clean and tidy and the massive double bed was amazing, I certainly fell asleep quickly after swimming in the Coniston End to End! Madonna was a lovely host, excellent communicator and understanding when we needed a late check in. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Granary and would happily stay there again!

在一个不错的安静的区域,舒适的地方。大周围的景色,并在一个良好的位置远足(我们徒步了Scaffel派克)。麦当娜在给我们有关该地区的和要做的事情的信息非常有帮助。唯一的缺点是,无线网络是一个小脾气,但没有打扰我们了。感谢麦当娜!

Great place, lovely hosts, beautiful location. The flat is really comfortable. The cot was prepared extra for our 1month old baby. A lot of interesting places to see all around. Wish to go back !

Accueil chaleureux amical de Madonna à son beau grenier confortable. recommandations aux grands restaurants locaux et des trous d'arrosage.

粮仓是在湖区住宿的理想场所。房间非常整洁,床超级舒适,淋浴热水。我们与加热无烦恼,即使晚上已经得到更冷。麦当娜是一个可爱的主机。我们可以强烈推荐这个地方!

We chose this cottage as it was a short drive to places in the lake district for hiking and had a very pleasant stay. The cottage was very nice and cosy and in a very nice tranquil area. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed into the cottage. A file containing all information on nearby attractions as well as instructions on how to use the facilities was included in the cottage which was very handy as we were new to the area. The listing description was accurate, rooms and facilities were exactly as described. The rooms were very clean, tidy and spacious and parking was available right outside. Great place to stay! Stayed August 2016, traveled with friends

Cosy and comfortable! Well equipped. All arrangements with Madonna very straightforward. Great walking directly from the door, with Muncaster Fell just there, and Giggle Alley up the road. We went further afield with no need for a car, walking the hills from Boot, getting on the Ratty at Irton Road Station (and good fun watching the stream trains passing from our window). Love the Western Lakes!

Very nice cottage in a beautiful location. Very clean, tidy and comfortable place to stay. Excellent response and communication from the host.

Lovely and cozy cottage in the heart of the countryside. Very clean and comfortable and close by to a great pub - the bower inn.

Quiet and cosy environment, neat and clean, very friendly and helpful tenant. beautiful view from the house. suitable for family of 4 especially.

真的很安静和美丽的位置。山寨明亮而舒适。主卧室是阅读和放松的一个特别可爱的地方。

Great place!

主持人让我们非常欢迎通过来接我们的人与她的家人。 山寨本身是美丽的,干净的,位置非常适合散步和远足。在将来肯定回来。 我们享受到了羊我们的邻居。

Fabulous stay at Madonna's place with my mum, husband and 2-year old son. Serene location overlooking the miniature railway (which proved very popular with the 2-year old!). Within walking distance of a local store and fab pub. Thanks to Tony for the warm welcome.

Great hospitality, lovely location.

Shame about the weather! But we loved Eskdale

马东纳的地方是极好的。她还去超越,为我们提供在哪里吃的建议什么,而在该地区的访问。我建议住在这里!

这个地方是绝对惊人。对于一个小型的家庭一个伟大的平房。马东纳是非常有帮助,给了我们一个热烈的欢迎第二天早上。她是非常包容,并具有湖区的巨大的知识。 这间小屋是一个不错的僻静区域,享受和平与安宁。 我强烈建议这个属性给所有的旅客

Madonna's cottage was a wonderfully charming cottage in the middle of most scenic views. Cows and sheep everywhere which were a delight for the kids and the ravenglass railway made for a great day trip. We had a memorable stay in all. The cottage is in a very small village and there is not much happening around, so you have to drive out a bit to get to restaurants and stores.

Fabulous location - really gives a good sense of peaceful Lake District life. Surrounded by the Fells - Greengage was a delightful stay. Highly recommended. Local pub - The Bower House Inn does good food and don't miss the overgrown hidden Japanese Garden just beyond St Bega's church. We loved that Eskdale was out of the way from the other more popular Lake District spots. Places weren't too far to get too in our opinion. And make note of Madonna's directions - they will save you the difficult negotiation of Hardnott pass - unless you want to do that!

奇妙的主机有一个漂亮的房子和位置。主机是非常有益的,总是迅速响应消息。如果你正在寻找探索湖区值得预订这个地方。

格雷格(Greg)的小屋(这是在度假别墅里进行的谷仓交流的一部分),是一个美丽的舒适的地方。美丽的共享花园通向Whillan Beck,这是一个可喜的惊喜。步行15分钟内有3间酒吧,全都供应食物,并提供多种散步。愿意再次入住

The converted barn was amazing - it was done up well, and had great facilities especially in the kitchen - you could certainly cook and feed quite a lot of people. The downstairs has the kitchen, dining, living room and master bedroom whilst the upstairs has a further three rooms. It would definitely be a lovely place to spend a few days relaxing and exploring the area, especially in the warmer months. The barn is very comfortable and homey, and looking out the sliding door you can see the beautiful landscape and scenery of the region. Caroline provided very good information on getting to the place (in view of the two very steep passes close to this location), and it is a bit of a drive from the main larger towns, but it was certainly a treat to be able to stay in a quiet area and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. I would certainly return to this place!

Very impressed with the accommodation. Clean and tidy. Great value for money as well as being in a good location. Host was very friendly and hospitable. Booking process was very easy and the host gave us loads of information before hand about what to do and how to find the place. Overall very good experience and will recommend to friends and family.

A beautiful cottage with all the right facilities and an amazing surroundings

素晴らしいロケーション、すぐそばから多くの散歩に行くことができます。任意の情報/内のチェックのための非常に簡単に最適です隣パブ、およびすべて。

Such a lovely little home away from home. Very comfortable, cosy and fully equipped with everything you could need for a holiday. Great space for a group of people (7 in our case) and great value for money. Situated in a lovely scenic area with lots of lovely walking routes round about. Could have spent a lot more time there exploring. A 30 minute drive from the start of the hike to Scafell Pike. Our hosts gave us space to relax and enjoy the place to ourselves but were lovely when we approached them with questions and queries. Thank you for a great stay!

Dejlig stald konvertering. Alle faciliteter på hånden. Caroline var meget lydhør og let går. Vil helt sikkert gerne bo igen.

Great location for pretty much any hike in Eskdale. Well-equipped kitchen. Peaceful location. Easy walk to local pubs.

great stay for the parents

可爱的小屋,优越的地理位置,附近有很多东西可以看和做。愿意再次入住

Great and cosy cottage. We climbed Scarfell Pike during our stay, but lots of other walks and drives nearby. Lovely pubs just down the road. Thanks for a great stay!

Eskdale is beautiful and the location of the house is superb. Just a short walk to the local shop & pub. Plenty of walks straight out the front door so it was great to just park the car and not use it for a few days. The house is very comfortable and has everything you could need including an open fire with logs, kindling and firelighters ready to go. In February we really didn't get to sit in the garden or use the BBQ but, in warmer weather, they would be great to have.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Walking distance to pub and 10min drive to nearest lake. Lovely scenery and views are amazing.

Great home and garden. Close to pubs and mini train which is fun to ride to other locations for walking and , of course, other pubs. Superb host.

A beautiful cottage in a remote and stunning area of the Lake District. We loved our stay but you should know it is a long windy drive well into the Lakes and avoid Hardknott Pass at all costs - DO NOT follow Sat-Nav (from Ambleside the Sat-Nav will take you the shortest route, plan this stage with a road map - take the main roads from Ambleside into Eskdale Valley.) Once we had recovered though we had a great time. The cottage is extremely pretty, quiet, walking distance from a pub and the Woolpack pub further up the road (2 mins drive) does great food (recommend the Cumbria Tatty!) and wine. Great trail within walking distance from the house, past the nearest pub, right, over the bridge, turn left - you have an amazing, stunning trail. The Ratty Train is a minute walk from the house, the kids loved it! So did we. Muncaster Castle is a great visit for kids too - we spent the whole afternoon exploring the grounds - really beautiful. I would recommend this house for sure, warm and cosy with everything you need.

Was everything we hoped for.

You won't regret choosing to stay here, great location and house

Very good location, next to a family friendly pub serving good food at good prices. Rooms are very clean with comfortable beds and good storage. The garden is stunning with beautiful views. Vert close to scafell and other attractions such as waterfalls and stream railway. We will definitely return!

This a charming & comfortable house in a beautiful & peaceful setting. We loved our stay here and enjoyed some excellent walks on the fells. Peter was very helpful, responding very quickly when we had questions. Highly recommended.

Wow what a fantastic place to spend a long week in the Lake District. The location is in Eskdale which is perfect for visiting all that the lakes have to offer. We went walking up Scafell Pike from Wasdale and also drove round the Lakes with no problems at all. The house itself was great and we had no issues at all. We had 4 adults and 4 children and it didn't feel crowded at all. The rooms and the common spaces were ideal and having come in from active days, the house felt properly like a home. The kitchen space was large enough for us all to eat at the same time and there were plenty of plates and cutlery and cooking amenities to not cause any problems at all. The house was clean. For the kids, they loved the wifi obviously and it was strong enough for 8 of us to use at the same time. There is limited phone reception though. Around the house, the kids ran free into the surrounding hills and gardens. We had a great time and no issues at all. Thank you Peter and we would definitely recommend this house. PS lots of lovely pubs in the area as well PS 2 - avoid Hardnot Pass - we drove over it on the way back from Windermere and definitely not for the faint hearted or Londoners (of which I am one). Was a great memory though!

Had a lovely week at Brantrake House. Peter sends comprehensive instructions well in advance to tell you just about all you need to know. The house is in the Eskdale Valley in the Western Lake District. It's a beautiful location, though it is fairly remote so best to do your grocery shopping beforehand and come prepared. Roads in and out are narrow and windy and be warned, driving Hard Knott pass is not for the feint of heart though the views are just reward for those who brave it. If you do head that way to Ambleside or Windermere, stop to eat at the Eltermere Inn in Elterwater - great food, views and ambience (which can't be said for the pub down the road from the house!). The house itself is lovely and spacious, with a giant country kitchen (I loved cooking on the rayburn stove/oven) and a big comfy sitting room, both of which have many large windows so you can take in the views at all times. When the weather is good, it's lovely sitting outside and enjoying the garden. A great place for hikers, nature lovers, or anyone who just wants some peace and quiet and stunning views.

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at Brantrake House. A beautiful retreat, even more beautifully furnished and decorated, and excellent facilities. The joining instructions we received were accurate and left nothing to chance, we had such a lovely time.

Beautiful area.

This is a wonderful place with a big, clean, comfortable kitchen for family meals and it is close to lots of walking paths. The garden is lovely, the beds were comfortable and the sitting room was a wonderful space for gathering. Perfect!

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Brantrake House. It was perfect size for our family get together and we loved the location and beautiful views. Amazing value for an outstanding property.

great location for walking Eskdale and Wasdale. Great garden and kitchen / diner

We stayed for a weeks walking holiday for a family of 7. The house was very well appointed for our needs and was in an amazing location. Although we visited at the height of summer the area was still reasonably quiet and the house itself was completely private. The property is big enough for everyone to have their own space.The hot-tub was always a welcome visit after a long day's walking. The delightful narrow gauge railway that runs at the bottom of the garden was the only noise you noticed but you soon get used to it and the waving children were great fun. Fab time! would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved both the house and the area. Great for large families with youngish kids. The house was a little difficult to find, maybe some clearer directions would have been useful but great. Only one minor quibble, we found some dirty plates in the cupboards (we are assuming it was the guests before us ) but it wasn't a problem. Sari was friendly and solved some minor problems quickly. I couldn't recommend highly enough! Enjoy!!!

Stayed with a group of friends in this lovely cottage for the weekend. The cottage was very spacious and in a great location which had beautiful views and a steam train that passed in front of the cottage everyday. The open fire was a highlight each evening! We didn't want to leave.

The stay at Holmrook was great, it was very spacious and perfectly located for walking up Scafell pike as we had planned. The kitchen was large and accommodated us having a large meal. The overall place was very homely and I would definitely go back.

What an amazing stay! Sari was a great host, replied to all of my questions really quickly. The house is bigger than the pictures suggest, and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Kitchen is really well equipped, I managed to make a Christmas dinner for 10 people and everything I needed was there. Excellent DVD and game collection, comfiest sofas and lovely fire places. Even with the house full to capacity there was more than enough room for all of us. Hot tub was a lovely touch. Very quiet and peaceful location, but just a couple of minutes walk from a local pub which was happy to cater for our big group, and a village shop with all the necessities a couple of minutes in the other direction. Miniature train drives quietly past the end of the garden a couple of times per day, close enough to see but not at all disrupting. The house has everything you could need. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Sari!

Peel Place is a wonderful cottage in the heart of Eskdale. We didn't anticipate how gorgeous it would be until we arrived and was taken aback by the wonderful views over the fells. Running across the front of the cottage was a another beautiful sight to be seen; a cute steam train which we just had to experience! Peel Place was ideally located for us to discover many hidden treasures of Eskdale although the cottage was so comfortable itself that we didn't want to leave! The hot tub was an added bonus and the gist kept this warm for us throughout the visit. I would definitely return here!

Fabulous weekend in a huge house! Lovely garden for children to play in, on door step is railway stop. Lovely and quiet. Hot tub fab! Thanks Sari

非常安静的地方有一个大的后院。你可以在那里做烧烤,也非常靠近当地的酒吧。这么美好的地方。

Great location and a lovely cottage. 6 of us stayed here for new year and had a fantastic time. Quite location but with great pubs close by. Would recommend.

如果你正在寻找一个风景优美的地方有很多的性格,空间和高档次的清洁和舒适性,大桥年底山寨去的地方。我们(横跨祖孙三代6人),在那里呆了3天,我们有一个美好的时光。靴子是一个美丽的小村庄。我们隐蔽的,但仍然有步行能够到达一个很好的酒吧(欢迎儿童)。这是非常接近的小火车站,不远处的海边或者(车程约20分钟)。有很多,你可以参观的地方(城堡,博物馆,罗马遗迹,和鹰/猫头鹰显示),即使在冬天的时候。我只能成像是多么美好的呆在那里时,天气有点温暖。绝对建议。

Het huisje was geweldig, het had alles wat we nodig hadden en was ver genoeg weg van de bewoonde wereld dat we ons geïsoleerd, maar had niet het gevoel in de middle of nowhere! Het was perfect voor ons, ook al was het nog maar net mijn partner en ik verblijf daar, het had genoeg ruimte voor een volledige familie. We wakker op een ochtend om een hert bijna vinden in de achtertuin, die een aangenaam verrast was, en terug in de avond om het daar nog steeds - die nog meer verrassend was! Het is dicht genoeg bij het water wast dat we meerdere reizen, maar ook in geslaagd om over te Kendal, Ambleside en Keswick, en zie de meeste van de meren in de korte tijd dat wij er waren. De kust is ook heel dichtbij, hoewel we niet echt veel te ontdekken als de bergen zijn veel aantrekkelijker voor ons. Wij waarderen altijd veel brander, en het huisje was erg gezellig als het weer was echt slecht buiten. Zou opnieuw te gebruiken, maar neem de familie volgende keer!

Een mooi huisje in een prachtige en rustige omgeving. Echt genoten van ons lang weekend verblijf met mijn kinderen. De door Peter informatie was grondig en behulpzaam. Het oude huisje is warm en stijlvol, maar heeft behoefte aan een beetje vernieuwing in de keuken en een deel van het meubilair. Ik zou het zeker aanraden.

Great place within easy access of Wast Water and Hard Knott pass. Secluded spot in a pretty location.

We hebben echt genoten van ons verblijf in Brantrake huisje. De locatie was perfect voor ons, het huis was een goede grootte voor ons gezin van vijf, en het huisje was goed uitgerust en schoon. De omliggende dorpen waren leuk om te verkennen en we hebben vooral genoten kruipend door het platteland. Peter was geweldig om mee te werken en reageerde altijd zeer snel aan onze behoeften te voldoen. We zouden zeker terugkomen!

Brantrake Cottage is a perfect place for a family holiday, and we had a fantastic week in Eskdale. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms are cosy. There is a bathroom and a shower room, with heated towel rails. The kitchen connects directly to the living room, which has a log burning stove to make things snug in the evening. There is a separate room in the barn with a washing machine and tumble drier, with lots of room for hanging wet clothes and towels after a day up in the hills. There is a great pub within walking distance, some lovely hikes out of the front door, and a fine swim under the bridge where the road into the village crosses the Esk. The children loved playing in the garden, where there were paths thoughtfully mown into the grass, as well as a lawn big enough for small football matches. The adults liked sitting out in the evening, and looking out for the peregrine falcon that patrols the hillside behind the house. I cannot recommend this place enough, in short.

Amazing idyllic country cottage in a secluded part of the Lake District - perfect for walks around and direct private entry from the rear of the cottage up onto the fells. Cottage is very well cared for and has all the things you need for a great stay! whatever the weather threw at us we ate and sat outside on sunny days and for less sunny days there was a fab wood burning stove in the living room. Shame we couldn't have stayed another week. Peter was a great host - there was an tiny issue with the outside BBQ we only mentioned in conversation, and he replaced it for a brand new the the next day without us even asking. The cottage is very old and historic - loved it! NB The house next door is pretty amazing too with huge windows overlooking the fells and available from Peter too. Re eating locally the best food for sure was at the Boot Inn a few mins drive down the road - or a 2 mile or so walk. Eskdale is fantastic place to stay if you've never been there before! Enjoy!

Fabulous cottage in a beautiful setting. Had a lovely stay.

Amazingly quiet and beautiful area, cut off from the world.

Lovely cottage in a wonderfull area ! Thanks Greg for your welcome and your advices for hiking

A very pretty location and lovely cottage. Amenities were excellent & clean. There is a laundry available if the weather is not great! Check-in was easy and parking convenient. There are 2 nearby pubs, with great food & drinks.
