“Pine cottage is situated in a quiet spot in Appleby in Westmoreland a short walk downhill to the centre of town with all amenities.”

The cottage itself is very clean and comfortable. You enter via a vestibule into the lounge then up a couple of steps to the bright, well equipped kitchen with a dining table. You pass through this to a small utility room with a bathroom off this. Upstairs from the living room is a small landing with a shower room and spacious double bedroom.

The cottage itself is very clean and comfortable. You enter via a vestibule into the lounge then up a couple of steps to the bright, well equipped kitchen with a dining table. You pass through this to a small utility room with a bathroom off this. Upstairs from the living room is a small landing with a shower room and spacious double bedroom. Whilst my husband and I didn't use the attic bedroom it looked very comfortable but due to the stairs would say it was more suitable for older children and fit adults. Having a private parking space was a welcome addition and just off the shared parking area there was a delightful, quiet south facing garden. The neighbours were very nice as were the locals. Linda was a great host and her communication was clear and friendly. We would definitely recommend. Appleby train station connecting Carlisle and Leeds is a 3 minute drive or a 12 minute walk away and the journey is very scenic.

“Very steep stairs to the twin bedroom.”

We had a lovely stay.

- Ann Ann, July 2026

I note you comment regarding the stairs on the top floor. We have tried to bring this to peoples attention on sykes through photos and a discription. I'm glad you had a lovely stay at Pine Cottage. Property Owner

“Pine Cottage was clean, comfortable and well resourced.”

The driveway in is quite narrow and manoeuvring vehicles can be awkward when other cars are parked there but it is manageable. The stairs to the top bedroom are very steep and uneven -a challenge if needing to get up in the night and go down them for the toilet! But be prepared - there is a rechargeable torch on the wall at the bottom of the main stairs - do take this if you are sleeping in the top bedroom, you will need it if you don’t want to sleep with the landing light on all night! The little garden is an added bonus and very nice to sit and relax in after a full day out. The property is in a great location for walking, visiting the lakes and National Trust properties. The town itself has some lovely cafes and pubs within easy walking distance. We stayed there as 2 couples all in our late 60’s and had a lovely holiday - just be prepared for those stairs! Would we stay there again? Yes!

- Elizabeth, June 2026

Thank you for your positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay at Pine Cottage and the surrounding area, Pine Cottage was built in the 1700s, The steepness of the stairs to the top bedroom is highlighted on the Sykes web site. Property Owner
Hayley April 2026

“On the whole a well maintained property.”

Would echo what a previous reviewer has said that it would be useful for the listing to make it clearer that the garden is not directly linked to the property. Unable to just nip into garden with out locking up property and you wouldn’t let children run in and out freely. Would be useful for full length mirrors to be provided bedrooms. There was one in the living room but this is a very dark room. Finally be aware that there is no blind in the sky light in the twin bedroom so it is impossible to block out sunlight.

Peta March 2026

“As other reviewers have said, the cottage is well equipped, clean and comfortable.”

Nice to have thoughtful things like hooks and shower soap holders. It is also in a good place for walking down into town. Note however that the cottage sitting room is a little dark and the (very nice) garden is not connected to the cottage - you have to walk across the car parking area; that could be clearer from the description. Otherwise, many thanks for a lovely stay.

- Peta, March 2026

Michael October 2025

“Pine Cottage was perfect for our stay in Appleby.”

It is very close to the town centre where parking is restricted, but that didn't matter as there is a private parking space. The house is comfortable, clean and the kitchen is well equipped. The owners of the house are kind, courteous and extremely helpful. We were very pleased.

“A lovely comfortable cottage in a nice area of Appleby.”

Beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything you could need. And nice and warm. A lovely freestanding bathtub in the downstairs bathroom, very tempting! The kitchen is large and I liked the skylight. I enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend.

“Lovely home away from home.”

Clean and well equipped. Close to all amenities. Check the width of your car to ensure it fits down the lane to parking spot. Garden was wonderful and tranquil.

Amanda April 2024

“Excellent location for visiting lakes and dales.”

Cottage was welcoming and clean. Warmed up quickly, although we never managed to get a good result with the log burner (probably because we’re not used to one). Lovely light kitchen with good-sized table. Really hot water. We were fortunate with the weather, especially as elsewhere was rather wet, and managed a few minutes in the garden. This would be lovely late afternoon in the summer with a glass or two. All in all, a great stay. Steps to attic bedroom very steep - you wouldn’t want to have to go down to the toilet in the middle of the night.

Rosemary November 2023

“Pine Cottage is a delightful property set in the lovely little town of Appleby.”

Exceptionally clean, cosy and comfortable and nicely decorated throughout. The kitchen was very well stocked with crockery, pots and pans, everything you need, a real home from home. The cottage was lovely and warm, particularly as we visited during November when temperatures had started to dip. The lovely little garden would be a great bonus in the warmer months. The private parking space to the rear of the property was a welcome bonus too. Such a lovely property; we certainly hope to return soon.

- Rosemary, November 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner
John November 2023

“Very comfortable cottage with a good choice of kitchen crockery.”

Bed very comfortable like everything else. Only 2 mins to walk into town which is very welcoming. We had a great time walking from base and then calling down town for a drink. The history of Appleby is very interesting so enjoyed the fact that the property is over 200 years old.

Sally October 2023

“Arrived and parked up, had to ring the owner to find the key safe, but no issue, just didn’t like bothering the lady on Friday tees time.”

House was perfect, full of all the amenities and fully equipped. Well laid out, and spacious. I didn’t quite work out how to open the windows, which was my stupid fault. We were only there for 2 nights so it wasn’t a massive issue. Instructions and everything labelled meant that everything in the house was self explanatory- just hope we didn’t get anything wrong. The garden looked lovely, and in summer months I bet it’s a delight to sit outside Thank you for a lovely weekend, I will be re-booking x

Trish September 2023

“A lovely cottage, quick and easy contact with the owner when needed.”

Well presented , excellent local shops and pubs which we enjoyed ,with friendly people everywhere we went. A hand towel in the kitchen and a floor mat in the shower room would be helpful. The welcome pack was useful ,always good to be able to have a cup of tea when you arrive. We found the bed comfortable and the cottage quiet despite being close to the road. The garden looked lovely but sadly the weather not right this time to make use of it. Hopefully we will come back.

- Trish, September 2023

Thank you for your review. I apologies that there were no floor mats available. I will look into this and see what's happened to them. We do provide kitchen roll and tea towels for the kitchen, hand towels are not provided. However, on the beds there are bath towel and hand towel for each person. Property Owner
Geoff September 2023

“Lovely cottage in a lovely town.”

Felt like home from home. Cottage has everything you need including nice garden to relax in, if you are lucky enough to have the weather we had. Will be recommending the cottage to friends and family.

“Accommodation was very comfortable, a lovely blend of traditional and modern with every appliance you could wish for.”

John August 2023

“The owners have thought of everything for your stay .”

We had roadworks outside and they even provided parking permits . The property is better than 5 star . The entrance to the rear is narrow but I made it with my van . The cottage was a great base for us in which to explore the area . Ullswater and Keswick was amazing and I can highly recommend the alpaca walk near Keswick. The owners covered every eventuality. We will return to this amazing property .

“Pine cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped.”

The stairs are steep up to the top bedroom but it does say this on the Cottage details online.We had no problem with them.Appleby was a lovely area to stay.It had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our stay. Linda,the owner,was very kind and couldn’t have been more helpful.Would certainly recommend this cottage

Sharon September 2022

“This cottage is a little gem - warm & inviting, immaculately clean, beautifully furnished.”

With off-road parking, & a pretty little garden, it wants for nothing. A short stroll leads into the town centre which has the River Eden running through together with several pubs/restaurants & shops. A great base for touring around the area with its spectacular scenery. Highly recommended!

- Sharon, September 2022

Thank you for your generous review we are happy you have enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. Property Owner
Sydney September 2022

“This property was very clean and comfortable.”

It should be noted that the second bedroom has extremely steep stairs and not suitable for young children or elderly. Everything in the cottage that you would need for a comfortable stay and the owner was extremely helpful. The road outside can be quite noisy in the early hours but that didn't detract from the property. One slight issue, there was no where to hang damp towels so possibly a clothes airer on the landing would be helpful? Thank you.

- Sydney, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback on Pine Cottage. You make a couple of observations, firstly a lack of facilities to dry damp towels. We do provide hooks on the shower room door and a heated towel rail in the downstairs bathroom/toilet which we are very happy for guests to use. Appleby being a busy countryside town can get traffic in the early hours. Secondary glazing is provided on all windows and this helps reduce noise levels if kept closed at night. The stairs are steep on the top floor with hand rail, but are a feature of the property. We have ensured that this is referred to in our description of Pine Cottage. Once again I would like to thank you for your feedback. We look forward to you staying with us again. Property Owner
Frank September 2022

“Our stay at Pine cottage was a delight with everything we required on hand plus a relaxing environment, the area is convenient for traveling to the lakes and Appelby is a lovely location with good dining facilities we would certainly book again in the future, and would certainly recommend to our friends.”

Ps Linda could not be more helpful and added to the enjoyment of our stay. Frank Ann & Jayne xxx

“Me and my daughter had a lovely stay at Pine cottage for 1 week in August 2022.”

The cottage is perfect for families, it was very clean, comfortable and cosy. The facilities were excellent and we loved the log burner. The garden was beautiful to sit in, and the neighbors were very friendly to chat to. There was lots of helpful information leaflets and maps of local activities and walking routes around Cumbria and the Lake District, which prompted lots of our days out. The location was great and convenient for parking, we enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for your review we are happy you enjoyed your stay at Pine Cottage and hope you come again Property Owner

About the location

APPLEBY-IN-WESTMORLAND

Penrith 14 miles.

The historic town of Appleby-in-Westmorland lies in a loop of the River Eden and is overlooked by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Lake District Fells showing on the western horizon. Set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley and steeped in history, this is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is nestled between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, so guests can enjoy the contrasting scenery of these two National Parks, plus numerous walking and cycling opportunities as well as the fantastic leisure centre in the town. Appleby has a wonderful selection of quality independent shops, cafes and delicatessens selling locally produced food and crafts. The picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings, is at the heart of the town and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and still today many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. With the delightful Ullswater and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.

Please Note: This property only accepts a maximum of 2-week bookings
