Our first Christmas away as a family, and from the outset the place felt like home.

The house was so cosy and comfortable, beautifully decorated and well-equipped, including locally-sourced toiletries and a much-appreciated gift of Hawkshead jams and chutneys. Great communication from Anne to make sure everything was OK. A beautiful quiet location with spectacular views. The house was a great base to explore the Lakes and we had two lovely pubs nearby - The Cuckoo Brow Inn and The Tower Bank Arms. The garden was secure for our dog to run around. Thank you Anne for a magical Christmas - we hope to visit again soon.

We stayed at Glenside cottage for one week in October and really enjoyed our time there - the cottage is well equipped with everything necessary, the beds were very comfortable, hot water available at all times.

The woodburner added to the cosy atmosphere. The cottage is situated very conveniently for day trips anywhere in the Lake District; there are also plenty of walking paths straight from the doorstep. Thank you for your hospitality!
