Sparrow Cottage

great spot for walking and kept so clean and warm with all you can need in the cottage.

we loved out stay here and would stay again

It’s a lovely very well situated well equipped comfortable place to enjoy the lakes.

It might be an idea to put some signage up to direct us to the back garden? And I realise my husband is 6’4 and built on industrial lines but the bed was a bit of a challenge. Other than that an absolutely lovely place and the log fire is a definite plus!

It was great cottage, well-equipped, with parking down the road and around the back, although you can park outside the church just across the road.

The cottage was very handy for the village hall, run by the community, and the two pubs down the road, and all the various walks. We'd definitely come back to Sparrow Cottage again.

I was aware the property allowed dogs, however, the carpet in the bedroom (master) was covered in grey dog hairs especially at the side of the bed, as were throws on the Settees.

I would definitely agree the property is not suitable for people with mobility issues - steep stairs & step up to bathroom.

The cottage was lovely felt at home there.

Only thing negative was I felt rushed with having to leave at 9 in the morning. This would definitely not stop me from booking again though

The property is clean and bright, It did state not for older people with mobility problems and I would say not for younger ones, the garden is a bit of a walk and the slate steps can be a bit slippery.

The back door needs looking at as it is sticking on the step. The pub just a short walk away has a lovely Sunday dinner.

Had a lovely stay at Sparrow Cottage with the dog.

House was as expected and very clean. The garden isn’t fully enclosed and a little confusing to get to, but large and grassy with a picnic table and space to park the car. We were left tea, coffee and welcome biscuits as well as hand soap and toilet roll, these may seem small things but were a really nice welcoming touch. The bathroom was perfectly clean and the shower is fantastic. Only things that were less than perfect were a wobbly dining table and very soft mattress and pillows in the main bedroom. Apart from that we had a lovely stay and would happily come back.

Absolutely fantastic: clear communication, excellent condition, beautifully clean, breath-taking views and a perfect location for walking and visiting nearby lakes, towns and views.

This is our 4th year staying at Sparrow Cottage!

This year we had the pleasure of taking our 8 month old little boy to see the wonders of the Lakes and enjoy the cozy cottage. The location is fantastic and it is always so clean and tidy. We are looking to book Sparrow Cottage for a 5th time on payday! We can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely lovely cottage, great location with plenty of walking on the doorstep.

Nicely decorated, fantastic power shower which is needed after a day in the fells. Bedrooms are a good size, we found the bed very comfortable. The little treats were a lively touch. Log fire was great & we used it every night. Kitchen is well equipped. Due to us doing lots of walking, a washing machine is a must so we always book a property with one. Unfortunately, the washing machine didn’t work properly which was reported. The machine wasn’t repaired during our stay which was very frustrating. Apart from this issue, it is a lovely cottage which we would book again with a working washing machine.

This is a great cosy cottage in a lovely location.

The cottage was clean , comfortable and warm, it had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely stay again. One point on the parking, we did follow the instructions and we think we parked in the right place, but it is a little confusing, perhaps a sign to indicate which space belongs to Sparrow cottage, or maybe a photo to show which space it is could be left with the information in the cottage.

As it was dog friendly there was no hose pipe out back to clean our dog off , no security light out the back ,wood burner not working ,was cold at times but not freezing ,would not stay at this property again I'm afraid,

We had a lovely short break at Sparrow Cottage, it was clean, warm and comfortable and well placed for exploring the Northern Lakes.

The weather was mixed so it was lovely to come back to the log burner and being within walking distance of a good dog friendly pub was a bonus. We’ll definitely book again in the future.

A splendid cottage finished to a high standard.

Unfortunately we had no WiFi until the last evening. Lakelovers and the owners did try to resolve this in a timely manner, but failed to hear the problem so there were 2 delays which resulted in a few additional days. We would return as it is such a great space, really comfortable, well supplied, very clean, and a lovely location.

Thank you so much, we had an amazing stay.

Beautiful home in a fab location. We would highly recommend!

Lovely cottage , very clean and finished to a high standard.

Close to the pub which was a bonus, lovely walking area , would highly recommend

Great location, well maintained and clean, everything we needed provided.

Could be made more clear where the off road parking is and the specific piece of garden for sparrow cottage.

The cottage was in very good condition, excellent bathroom and kitchen facilities, very comfortable and clean.

Set in a beautiful, scenic friendly village with equally good facilities and walks. The only downside was that some of the information on the website about parking and garden, conflicted with the information on the hosts folder in the house. We were not sure which was our garden or where to park, so more helpful signs outside, and one set of clear written instructions would be of benefit.

Excellent property, loved our stay here.

VERY minor negatives - double bed uncomfortable, new mattress needed. Checkout time of 9am is very early, all the properties I’ve stayed in are 10am or even 11am BUT I would highly recommend tSparrow Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at Sparrow cottage during Christmas week.

The cottage is very cosy and beautifully decorated with a lovely kitchen and bathroom and very comfortable beds. Highly recommend.

Perfect little cottage with everything we needed

Cottage is located in beautiful location.

In the property there was everything we needed to make our holiday comfortable from washing machine with tumble dryer to lots of kitchen equipment. Interior is lovely and cosy with fireplace for colder evenings. Bathroom is very stylish and modern with bath and shower room. Double bedroom is equipped with double bed (mattress too soft for me but everyone has got different preferences), bedside cabinets with bedside lamps, wardrobe, drawers and mirror. Smaller room has bunk bed and drawers within the room. Near by is pub with delicious food and nice coffee shop if you fancy relax with the drink and cake. Plenty to do around from walking to Keswick or hiking Blencathra.We had a lovely stay and we would return again.

Lovley cottage .

washing machine dish washer.plenty room in bathroom bath and shower towels provided.double bed and a nice bunk bed in 2 nd bedroom.stairs bit tight if your bad on your feet.overall lovley place garden around the back and where you park.theres walk around there with a stream.to Keswick you can walk on railway lines or bus or car.great hol plenty exercise.thetes a garage in the village who fixed our car brilliant.and neighbours the back very helpful.

The cottage was immaculately clean inside.

Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and some basic cleaning essentials. The stairs were really steep but to be expected. The bathroom is lovely and large, and clean. Now, the bedrooms. The cottage is advertised as having a double bed. I don't believe it is a standard double. I'm 5 ft 5 and my feet hung off the end of the bed. The mattress was terrible so it was hidden with a memory foam topper that was even worse. Couldn't move in bed at all and woke up with a bad back, neck and shoulder every day. The result was that we took it in turns to sleep on the bottom bunk in the 2nd bedroom. Which was firm and more comfortable and you could actually turn over without falling out of bed. The cottage wasn't advertised with parking however the information left in cottage directed us to an area to park. Problem was you couldn't ever get in because everyone else was parked there. We didn't make use of the garden as it was unclear which one was for our use and wasn't very accessible directly from the cottage. Overall, if the bed and mattress were improved, we might stay again, otherwise not.

This is the second year we have been here and plan to come back many more.

It’s such a lovely little cottage in such a prime location. It feels like home away from home. I cannot fault it!

Lovely cottage, extremely clean, very well quipped with excellent furnishings.

Great location in the village. We will definitely book this cottage again.

Absolutely lovely property… only suggestion being if you want to spend much time outside you take picnic blanket & chairs with you

Threlkeld is a lovely place to stay and we had a fantastic break in Sparrow Cottage.

It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely property,quite modern and simple, .

very clean and tidy ,lots of sockets for charging .kitchen was well stocked with equipment for your stay.we really had a lovely chilled weekend much nicer to stay in a cottage than hotel. Only small drawback parking in the village ,we managed to park up on the road the 1st night but did struggle the next day however owners had given us directions of parking space for cottage and we then checked with we were in the right place,the owner came to the cottage very quickly to help after that we parked there for the rest of our stay. Book early for the local pub as it was busy.

Very warm cottage on arrival, nice welcome pack of fudge, biscuits and prosecco

Great cottage, very clean, can’t fault anything apart from the smoke alarm above the cooker that meant using the grill was impossible.

Would definitely return though.

Really lovely, practical property.

Clean and cosy. Lounge/kitchen area really comfy with plenty of space and everything you need. Great bathroom! Fab for dog. Easy on street parking at this time of year (autumn), lots of lovely walks from the door including Blencathra. A few minor suggestions to make this cottage even better: - the main bed is creeky and quite small - a sign for your garden! - we found the front door key a little temperamental at times until we worked out the knack. No WiFi or TV the last few days of our stay but we think this was due to a problem with a mast in the village rather than the property itself. The rest of the time it was a great connection, Thank you for the lovely fudge too. We would definitely return.

We have already given feedback to the owners that the topper on the bed was very uncomfortable and that the front door was difficult to lock.

We were also a little disappointed that the “garden area” was so far from the property that it made it unusable. That said the cottage was lovely, had everything we needed and we had a very enjoyable week and would recommend the cottage. It’s in a lovely village and a great base for some wonderful walking.

We loved our stay at Sparrow cottage.

The cottage is very cosy with beautiful views from the windows. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and well equipped. The garden can be a little tricky to find but there are good instructions in the house. We had a lovely stay. Road side parking is fine outside the church. Thank you for having us and extending our stay!!!

The property has been recently refurbished and was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our short stay.

The owners were excellent, proactively providing a bedroom fan in the extreme temperature and responded immediately when the hot water failed. The location in the village is spot on and even though the garden and parking is slightly away from the property it was not an issue for us and was a nice place nice to sit and enjoy the sun and for those who have kids and pets. The only slight negative was the bed frame was a bit rattly.which hopefully can be sorted. We would definitely consider a future stay and recommend.

We only stayed 2 nights, but the cottage was a great place and so well located for hikes in and around the quieter northern fells as well as heading back down the road to London and bypassing the often very busy central fells roads around Ambleside.

Nice and comfy and had everything we needed. Great hot shower! Would like to come back in winter and make use of the cosy fireplace. Parking was a bit tricky as we came in 2 cars but found space further down in the village so all ok in the end. Went to the White horse for dinner in Scales and had gigantic portions, very delicious and welcome after a hard days walking. All in all a great location and nice little cottage :)

Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Great location with lots of nice walks available right from the front door. Can't wait to visit again.

Lovely accommodation in a perfect location.

The decorating, fittings and appliances are all of a high standard. Only criticism is that the dinner plates don't fit in the dishwasher - a minor problem really. Owners of the property were very welcoming, helpful and friendly.

Enjoyed our stay good walks around the area especially the one to keswick our dog enjoyed them.

The cottage was comfortable clean and plenty of hot water for the aching joints. Would consider staying there again.

We really enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable cottage, which has been renovated to a very high spec.

It is a credit to the owners who must have put a great deal of hard work in to it. However, just a few suggestions. As there is a washer/dryer, it would be good to have an iron & ironing board, also a few more kitchen utensils, a sieve, microwave equipment & salt & pepper pots & a sugar bowl & a nice big fruit fruit bowl for the table. We presumed there wasn't a hoover because the cleaning is contracted out, maybe they could be asked to hoover up the crumbs we found under the settee cushions . Thank you for a lovely holiday in your super cottage. Don & Sue

Sparrow Cottage is amazing, very old on the outside twenty first century on the inside.

The facilities in the cottage are all extremely high specification. The sitting room and bedrooms are very comfortable and the bathroom is extra special.The kitchen has all the appliances that one could wish for. I would happily recommend this cottage.
