Amazing views and excellent walks on the doorstep. Garden has the most amazing seating area to watch the sunset in the evening. BBQ also a welcome addition. Cottage clean and well equipped. Excellent base for exploring the lakes.
Matthew's place was ideal for my husband and our lads who stayed for two nights to extend a holiday. It's a lovely place off the beaten track and Matthew is very helpful and accommodating.
Stayed the 3rd time and got was clean, comfy & had all we needed for a 2 night break with our dog. Matt always at hand on the farm and really friendly and welcoming. Thank you for another lovely stay!
We loved this cottage on the farm. It's right at the foot of Skiddaw and already at 700ft. The views are stunning and we loved being able to explore on foot direct from the cottage. It is generally well equipped (maybe a bit more crockery, cutlery and serving dishes and spoons would be handy). The outdoor areas are very good, designed to catch the sun at various points and in a beautiful well-maintained little cottage garden. Would def recommend. Low ceiling beam in the kitchen will catch anyone over approx 5ft 8".
Wunderbarer 2 wöchiger Aufenthalt auf der Schaffarm von Matthew - 2 wonderful weeks
Wir waren 2 Wochen auf der abgelegenen Farm und haben die Ruhe sehr genossen. Man hört natĂŒrlich gelegentlich die Schafe. Das Haus bietet ausreichend Platz und ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Der Garten ist wunderschön. Bis nach Keswick fĂ€hrt man ca. 15 Minuten mit dem Auto. Matthew, der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich. We spent 2 weeks on the outlying farm and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Of course you can hear the sheep occasionally. The house offers plenty of space and is lovingly furnished. The garden is beautiful. Keswick is about 15 minutes away by car. Matthew, the host, is very friendly.
My son and I walked locally on the night we arrived but ventured further the next day to climb Helvellyn. We live in the States now, and had too return but we miss the Lakes!
Everything as described. Cottage was perfect, extremely cosy and peaceful. Well equipped in side which suited our short break perfectly. Matt the host was very welcoming and available if you would need anything. For sure we will be returning.
Great little cottage with very spacious garden. My friend and I had a lovely weekend away. The owner was very welcoming and is right next door should there be any issues.
If you like rural and isolated this is for you it's out the way but still close to the towns plenty of walks the property had wonderful views dogs are welcome the owner was so nice would recommend
Liked: location, communication about the check in process, cottage is clean and nicely furnished - Christmas decorations were a lovely touch. Disliked: dogs barking next door most of the evening of our second night, only one loo roll for a 3 day stay!
A lovely property that offers peace, quiet & serenity. Places to walk are a stone throw away. Host instruction with regards to checking in was clear cut.
The cottage is very attractive - it is cosy, spacious and welcoming. The views from the cottage are also stunning.
There's plenty of scenic areas nearby the cottage that are great to discover and walk around.
It's also an ideal base for visits to the numerous towns and attractions within the Lakes.
The hosts are friendly and helpful as well.
It really IS a working farm with real hard working people there who care.Matthew recieved some pygmy goats while we were there and it was fun to see them. The place was thoughtfully decorated and spacious. If you are very tall you need to be carefull here. It is in an old stone structure that has some recent modern upgrades. Very warm and cozy. A 5 minute walk from the front door gets you a million dollar view. TONs of great hiking and mountain biking options nearby. We would gladly stay here again.

Great accommodations for exploring the Lake District and observing life on a working sheep farm.
Efficient kitchen setup, great views from the bedroom and the side yard.
Would stay here again.
We hadden een heel fijn verblijf. Het huis heeft alles wat je nodig hebt en een fijne tuin. We hadden prachtig weer. Sâavonds koelde het af, maar het huis is gelukkig goed verwarmd. Het ligt bij een schapenboerderij en aan een mooie wandelroute naar de bergtoppen er achter.
Alojamiento en una ubicaciĂłn muy buena en la zona de los lagos cerca de Keswick.
En cuanto a la casa, decir que es necesario mejorar muchas cosas para que la estancia sea cĂłmoda y placentera, empezando como punto principal por la limpieza.
En nuestro caso, no estuvimos del todo agusto con esto.
Las dimensiones del alojamiento son algo pequeñas pero suficiente para 2, 3 personas como mucho.
