Chestnut

Chestnut cottage is a wonderful place to stay.

Jo was there to meet us when we arrived ,with a welcoming smile ,fresh eggs and beautiful scones.The cottage was lovely and clean,well equiped,with everything needed for a peaceful get away. The views ,scenery and wildlife could be enjoyed from the balcony and fantastic walks were all around with easy access. Mark and Jo were wonderful friendly hosts.Hopefully we will be back soon.

We had a fantastic stay at Chestnut, The cottage has the most peaceful view from the terrace of rolling greenery and wild rabbits.

The beds are incredibly comfortable, the jacuzzi baths and robes are a luxury touch and the appliances in kitchen are incredibly powerful. Jo and Mark are unbelievably helpful and always on hand. The scones and eggs were such a welcoming touch. Such a beautiful gem in a quiet and peaceful part of The Lakes. Visited The Ashgyll Force waterfall on Marks recommendation, it’s not to be missed. We will definitely be back

A very warm welcome from Jo and Marc.

Cottage very comfortable and warm. Accommodation was excellent and very clean. Furnishing and facilities very good. quality. Views from the cottage are impressive. as is the location. .We had a very enjoyable stay Highly recommended. . Would not recommend for anyone with mobility problems because of the stairs.

Chestnut was a fantastic place to stay.

Would highly recommend this property. It had everything you could want and Jo and Mark were on hand to sort any problems quickly and efficiently. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable and the lounge and dining area was all you could ask for. If we were ever in the area again it is certainly somewhere we would go to again. Thanks to both Jo and Mark, your welcome and looking after us was first rate.

We had a wonderful stay at chestnut cottage.

Lovely welcome with fresh eggs and scones. Very homely and very clean. Extremely comfortable bed. Fantastic views !!! Lovely watching the wildlife with my morning cuppa, including birds, red squirrels rabbits and the owners chickens. And a great base for our walks . We had a very relaxing break. Thank you Mark and Jo.

Had an amazing break away at chestnut Cottage.

From the moment we walked in we felt at home and relaxed. The cottage is beautiful it had everything we needed and more. The views are absolutely stunning,we went on some woundful walks with the kids.Mark was so friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to coming back next year! Thanks Mark for letting us stay in you beautiful cottage.

Chestnut was just stunning !

!! The views from every single window were spectacular in Christmas week !! If you like walking or watching nature, this is the place to go. The cottage was exactly as described, it had everything we needed for a weeks stay and we were easily able to cook a full Christmas dinner in the kitchen ! The place was exceptionally clean, well organised and tidy considering dogs are allowed ( we took one ) and the vibe was super cosy in the evenings and very warm too with the heating and electric fire. The hosts were super friendly ( just next door if you needed them for anything ) but not intrusive. This place would wow anyone in any season of the year, It would be lovely to come back in the summer time to sit on the enclosed veranda and watch the sun go down and all the wildlife pottering around !! I could easily have moved in !!

A big thank you to Mark & Jo, you are lovely hosts.

The scones & jam delicious, Chest Nut cottage very clean & warm. Great views all around, We loved waiting for the red squirrels. Beautiful to watch around the feeders, our group will be returning next year. First time we have wanted to return to a cottage.

Great place to stay.

A really warm comfortable cottage with friendly, helpful hosts. Great location, quiet pennine beauty all around. Looking forward to going back!

We would definitely recommend Chestnut as it's a very cosy, warm and quiet accommodation which is perfectly situated for visiting this area with a beautiful drive through the countryside to get to the bigger towns.

The added bonus of an extremely comfortable bed on the top floor completes a full day of exploring! The hosts, Mark and Jo, are very welcoming and helpful in sorting out any problems quickly, we had a slight hitch with the Sky reception which was sorted out immediately and they are obviously so knowledgeable about the surrounding area and facilities, nothing is too much trouble! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - Lorna and Mark

Chestnut is a wonderful cottage, well equipped, comfortable and spacious.

The bed was so comfortable. Jo and Mark are lovely hosts, really appreciated the information they shared, as well as the eggs and scones on arrival. Great walks from the cottage, but also not far from loads of interesting places and walks. Loved sitting on the balcony enjoying the view and watching the chickens. We had a great week in Chestnut and highly recommend it.

A wonderful holiday cottage which was cosy, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything needed.

The owners were very friendly and helpful and the homemade scones and fresh eggs were a lovely touch. The cottage was brilliantly situated for exploring the stunning scenery of the local area. We would highly recommend a visit to Chestnut Cottage!

Chestnut was the perfect getaway.

We all slept so well, it was so peaceful. The location is just breathtakingly beautiful, the views are amazing and we went walking most days. Mark and Jo were brilliant hosts, giving relevant information about suitable walks and tonnes of local info. We have stayed in a number of holiday cottages and have to say that the standard of furniture and decoration was outstanding in Chestnut. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone. Thank you.

Cottage is very well equipped, very clean and cozy, the beds are so comfy.

The views are spectacular. Such beautiful quiet surroundings. Jo and Mark are so welcoming and very helpful but never intrusive. Nothing was to much effort for them... First class hosts and property.

Fantastic week here at chestnut.

Very comfortable everything you could need for a wonderful holiday. Views were great weather was kind will definitely return.

My wife and I had a great 2 week stay at Chestnut Cottage.

The cottage was lovely as was the location, so lovely and peaceful. The owners and hosts Jo & Mark are really lovely people and so easy to get on with. They also have a lot of knowledge of the area. There are lots of walks from the doorstep so we rarely used the car. Highly recommended.

From the friendly greeting from Jo to the reluctant goodbyes with Jo and Mark, the whole experience was faultless.

Epic views, cozy cottage, we had had a total well needed week's recharge. Peaceful but perfectly located to enjoy the splendours of both Cumbria and Northumberland. Will definitely return!

We had a really great holiday, our thanks to Mark & Jo they couldn’t have been more helpful.

The house was lovely and so cosy to come back to after lovely days out and about in the beautiful countryside. We shall definitely be back again.

We had a wonderful stay at Chestnut Cottage.

It was a perfect launching off point for the next leg of the Pennine Way. The cottage was a warm and cosy place to retreat to at the end of the day with excellent facilities for cooking, relaxing and playing games at the kitchen table. This was definitely one of the best holiday lets we have had and Jo and Mark were friendly, helpful and welcoming hosts. Everything was spotlessly clean and everything worked with loads of hot water - always essential after a wet day's walking! We look forward to staying again very soon and hopefully we will be able to use the balcony with that stunning view and look up at the stars in those big skies. Thank you both.

Beautifully situated cottage with great views.

The cottage is clean and comfortable, with everything you need. Also: good shower, good beds. And very kind owners who make you feel welcome. We would definitely recommend it and would like to come back ourselves. We loved the place and our walks!

A really lovely and comfortable cottage, everything you could possibly need in this cottage, Jo and Mark certainly make you feel welcome and nothing is to much trouble.

Never mind about 5 star's I would give it a 10.

Lovely quirky cottage in fabulously relaxing, remote spot, with plenty of walks through natural beauty from the door or within short driving.

Owners very welcoming and friendly. Would very happily have stayed longer/go back.

We had a fantastic week at Chestnut Cottage.

Outstanding views, Cottage well equipped and very clean. Jo and Mark could not have been more helpful. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful trip, cottage was well stocked with essentials.

Clean and comfortable. Beautiful scenery and views, gorgeous wildlife around. 10/10 would recommend.

We had a fantastic time at Chestnut.

Accommodation and views were fabulous as were our hosts, Jo and Mark. We will definitely be back

Off the beaten track and hidden within a gated small holding overlooking a green bunny hopping meadow with far reaching views beyound.

You find a plot of land most of us dream and desire.. birds, rabbits, chickens and wild deer roaming in the distance not to mention the wind singing in the trees near by "very calming". The balcony is a perfect sun trap which you can enjoy all day until the sun starts to set.. then if your a star gazer? you'll be in your element with no light pollution. 31/05/2024-04/06/2024 Ashley

We stayed from the 11th -18th May.

We found the cottage to be just right for us. It was lovely and clean, (most importance) Darcy the dog loved watching the rabbits from the balcony. Would highly recommend. The eggs from Jo & Mark's chickens were delicious. Thank you.

Fantastic and unexpected stay after our original booking was flooded and cancelled.

This was the absolutely ideal solution. Peace and quiet beyond measure. Fabulous friendly hosts, comfortable and well-equipped cottage, views to enjoy while listening to the birds and spotting the red squirrel. Can't wait to return.

Enjoyed the stay , beautiful location and a really nice spacious property with good facilities .

The hosts are nice and friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a good stay. The Balcony is top quality and the location is the ideal place to go if you want to get from it all and clear your head with the beautiful remote scenery.

Just returned from a wonderful, relaxing week in Chestnut Cottage.

It is set in a stunning, incredibly tranquil, hillside location with beautiful moorland views. The cottage is well equipped, very comfortable and extremely clean. Mark and Jo are superb hosts who made us feel so very welcome. They are very knowledgable and helpful but not at all intrusive. We highly recommend this property.

We would like to say a massive thank you to Mark and Jo the Owners of Chestnut Cottage for the warm welcome we received on arrival It made a freshing change not just to tap in a few numbers on a key pad Chestnut Cottage is clean and comfortable base to explore the surrounding area we felt a home straight away from the moment we turned the key and entered the property Chestnut had everything you needed for your stay but it was the amazing views from the balcony that spoiled you But one thing that will stick in my mind is the peace and quiet and the super comfy extra large bed Im totally honest when I say I was saddened that our week holiday had come to an end I would highly recommend Chestnut Cottage as a base or just somewhere to chill Ps .

Our dog pip loved the field to run in and is missing her daily run around Steve Joanne Marjorie and her ladyship pip

Highly recommend this property for a lovely, comfortable quiet stay.

Every facility was there. Great spot for those wishing to walk in the area. The property owners couldn't be more accommodating and did everything and more to make our stay wonderful. Lovely people.

A wonderful place to stay.

We were there for 7 nights and the cottage had everything we needed. It was extremely clean, the beds were really comfy and the spa baths were very welcome after a long day out walking! The kitchen was well equipped and the living area was cozy with a stunning view of the hills. A great place to stay if you want to explore the North Lakes and places like Hadrian’s Wall. There’s a fantastic folder full of information of local amenities and some stunning walks (we thoroughly recommend the Ashgill Force walk - stunning and a real treat to stand behind a waterfall!). Thank you Jo and Mark for such a warm welcome and wonderful stay. We hope to come back soon!

the cottage was really lovely

We had an excellent week at Chesnut cottage, very chilling and relaxing the view from the wrap round veranda is very nice, watching the birds and rabbits from veranda is very chilling.

Hosts Mark and Jo are excellent fresh eggs and scones went down a treat,would highly recommend Chesnut to everybody looking for somewhere to have a nice week or two. Thank you Mark and Jo all the very best Robert and Liz.

Absolutely gorgeous place, well equipped and comfy.

Stunning location with views to savour. Jo & Mark are brilliant hosts, welcoming and helpful.We'll definitely be coming back!

Was a fabulous place, photos do not do it justice.

Jo and Mark where such lovely hosts

Well they had us at afternoon tea ,yum.

Such a lovely spot and the dog was living her best life .many thanks Mark and Jo.

Lovely rural spot great for dogs.

Very spacious accommodation . We arrived to find delicious home made scones from the owners Mark and Jo who were just next door if we needed anything. Shame the weather wasn't great but a lovely place for a quiet break away from it all.

Excellent quiet location in beautiful countryside.

Ideal location for touring the North Pennines and The Lake District. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Had a great week with top class hospitality from Jo and Mark.

Fresh scones and eggs were most welcome. Everything was spot on, the views and weather were both spectacular. We will definitely be back for another week Thanks again for a lovely relaxing holiday. Marguerita & Dave

We loved are short stay at Chestnut cottage.

The owners Mark and Jo could not have been nicer. We really appreciated the home made scones and freshly laid eggs on our arrival. The views from the cottage are amazing, and our dog loved running in the enclosed field at the back of the cottage. The location is peaceful, with breathtaking roads to drive. We would highly recommend.

A beautiful stone cottage with a wooden balcony with the most wonderful views.

The owners are amazing and really friendly. We stayed for two weeks, and had a really enjoyable holiday.

A magical place to stay: the property is cosy and well equipped with spacious bedrooms and fab bathrooms and the wrap around balcony enjoys the most wonderful views.

This is a fab place to come to relax, go for walks for all abilities or to use as a base to explore the area. The hosts are lovely people and were there to greet us as well as exchanging calls and texts. We also had freshly made (still warm) scones and jam on arrival. A peaceful break with fresh air and cosy evenings! We’ll be back.
