“Delighted to stay in this little gem of a property tucked quietly away in a part of the lakes which is not packed with tourists.”
We visited for a walking trip and it gives great, immediate access, to some of the North, West and North Western of Wainwright’s fells.
We found the nearby Armathwaite Hall hotel, which welcomes non residents, and enjoyed a beautiful stroll in its grounds and around the shore of Bassenthwaite, after a delicious cream tea.
The property appears to be newly kitted out with tasteful and comfortable fittings and furnishings throughout and the kitchen is amply supplied with high quality, easy to use, appliances which really enhanced the enjoyment of our stay.
There was lots of information provided on places to go and things to do with helpful maps and walking books.
I have stayed in Skye’s cottage’s before and was delighted that this met with the quality I’d expect from their accommodation.
Thank you for such a lovely stay, I can’t wait to return!

Within a short drive are the many attractions and glorious landscape of the Lake District, while the Solway Firth is just a stone’s throw. The dramatic coastal route south to Ravenglass and beyond is one of the more scenic and peaceful journeys in the UK, while to the north, Carlisle, Northumbria and the borders of Scotland are just a short drive.
