The Old Grainstore

The propery was very comfortable and clean.

The owners could not do enough for us and you could want for nothing. Ours was a mixed age group and everyone of us was catered for. Thank you Martin and Joanne.

We enjoyed our stay very much: the accommodation was excellent, the owners were welcoming, and the surrounding area was peaceful and relaxing.

The property is conveniently placed for exploring the surrounding area and the Lake District, and even the Southern end of Scotland, being only a short drive from the main road. The owners offer a range of home-grown/home-made produce at reasonable prices, which we can thoroughly recommend: we purchased some home-made jams and bread. We are hoping to return at some point in the future.

Extremely friendly and welcoming hosts, always happy to help.

The cottage is very spacious and comfortable with everything you could need. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. Although not in the Lake District it is a short drive to Keswick and beyond. It is a good base for touring the area. Definitely recommend for families.

When we arrive Jeanne was there to meet us and showed us around the cottage , the cottage is beautiful and beautifully decorated, we loveed it at first sight, everything you needed, glasses, plates, pots, cutlery, washing machine, with washing tables, dishwasher with tables, heating, plus wood fire, my son was so excited to use a wood fire for the first time.

Jeanne also on request give safety equipment for children, eg, fire guards and stairs guards also travel cot. Bedrooms were all lovely, and the bed were very comfortable, the shower wonderful, we always had hot water all the time. We didn't get to go on the farm because it was always raining, but we sew the animals from the windows. There were also a friendly dog that always comes around looking through the window, my grandson loved seeing him. The only very small things was that I was looking forward to getting freshly made bread, but received a box biscuits from the shop, but that was a minor thing. All that is left to say is that we had a wonderful experience and we would all go back again. A big thank you Jeanne and family. Keep up the good work.

The accommodation was absolutely brilliant.

Joanne looked after us and made a special effort with my young children. I would highly recommend staying here!!

Such a clean and comfortable cottage which felt like home straightaway.

The setting felt lovely and safe with our 21 month old. So much for him to do at the cottage and in the surrounding area. For us too! Thank you very much!

Property was beautiful inside and out, lots of toys for the kids to play with inside and out.

All the essentials you need for a weeks stay. The owner was very friendly and lovely to talk too. Would highly recommend this property and Iam sure we will be visiting again. Thank you

Such a lovely place to stay.

A really cozy, well appointed cottage in a gorgeous setting. We had such a lovely warm welcome from our hosts - it was wonderful

Great location for nearby lakes and towns, but situated quietly in the countryside

On arrival at the property we were greeted by the owner & dogs, a lovely welcome.

The cottage was immaculate, very clean & well equipped. The bedrooms had plenty of storage space & the beds very comfortable. The living room was spacious but also had a cosy feel & we enjoyed using the log burner even though it wasn't that cold during our stay. It was interesting staying on a working farm & we were very impressed with the owners commitment to conservation. A good base to visit places of interest in the area, a beautiful part of our country.

Amazingly cosy, clean and well looked after place.

It looks, smells and feels nice throughout. Great hosts and friendly dogs in the yard made our stay unforgettable - highly suggested! P.S. Don't hesitate to opt for banana bread and a home-made jam - delicious!

Really comfortable, well equipped barn in a peaceful setting, with lovely hosts who couldn't do enough to help us.

Highly recommend!

We had a lovely week at The Old Grainstore.

Great accommodation, very clean and well-equipped, and located in a delightful, peaceful area. It's not surprising to read that so many others have chosen to return time and again.

Wonderful weekend spent here with friends.

We arrived to fresh banana bread, scones & jam and a lovely Cumbrian welcome. The house is great and so well equipped. Can’t wait to return!

This cottage was absolutely fantastic.

Everything that you would need to make a perfect holiday. Exceptionally clean, comfortable and so homely. Joanne and Martin made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Helped feed the cavles and had fresh eggs from the chickens. Enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked for next year.

The Grainstore is superbly equipped with everything you need for a home from home self catering holiday.

The cottage was spotlessly clean which is very reassuring during these unprecedented Covid times. The owners are friendly and welcoming as are their adorable and well behaved farm dogs. The Grainstore is set on a working farm but it was very peaceful and quiet with a real feeling of being in the countryside. Full amenities, however are just a short 5 mins away in Wigton. We enjoyed a visit to the Lakes Distillery to purchase local gins, the lovely town of Keswick and the major town of Carlisle, all within 20-30 mins scenic drive from the cottage. Highly recommended

Fantastic break, great location with all facilities you would need.

Highly recommended.

Beautiful accommodation.

Lovely and peaceful. Fantastic banana bread waiting for us when we arrived. Thank you Joanne x.

The Old Grainstore is perfect.

This cottage is very well equipped it has everything that you could need and more besides. The owners take great care of their cottages and go the extra mile to make sure guests have a good holiday. We would love to stay again in warmer weather.

My family and I stayed at The Old Grainstore to celebrate my dad's 50th birthday which I made our host, Joanne, aware of.

On arrival the cottage had been decorated with birthday banners and a birthday cake was left for us to enjoy. The cottage itself was perfect for us as a family of 6 with two small children. Overall Joanne could not have been a more accommodating host and I would recommend the cottage as a stay to anyone looking for a lovely, countryside break!

I've never stayed in such a well-equipped holiday cottage before.

The owners bent over backwards to make our stay comfortable. We had a 3 year old with us and they provided a bed guard, loads of age-appropriate books and toys, and lots of outdoor equipment to play on. The kitchen had more pans and cooking essentials than my own! The owners were also really friendly, and let us help to feed the cows. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

I really cannot fault the facilities and surroundings at The Old Grainstore.

The hosts on arriving were both pleasant and informative. The level of comfort exceeded our expectations and was a 'home' from 'home' experience. As this is a working farm we were offered the opportunity to get hands on also which was a great treat feeding the calfs for my 2 year old. Keep up the good work. We will definitely be coming back.

Stayed here with a few friends at the end of Febuary.

Couldn't be anymore pleased with our stay, was welcomed by the lovely owner and was even told we could feed the baby calfs! The cottage was more than enough for our stay and you could tell that it is well looked after as it was spotless. The owner even went above and beyond mailing a forgotten jumper that we accidentally left back to us. Couldn't reccomend this place enough, will definitely be back in the future!

Lovely place to stay for families and couples.

Exelent hosts!

The holiday home was superb, we cannot fault it in any way.

The owners are extremely welcoming people, we were met on our first day with a basket of freshly baked scones, home made jam and fresh eggs which were all very yummy. The place itself is scrupulously clean and is furnished to a very high standard. The kitchen exceeded our expectations as when we opened the cupboards, there were oil, condiments, all sort of sauces, foil, cling film, you name it and it was there. The cleaning products were there, we took our own , but did not use them, there was washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing tablets , conditioner, too long to go on. Joanne thought of everything to make her guests feel very welcome indeed. Well done Joanne and Martin, thank you so much for making our stay such a welcoming one. Chantal and Roy French and also on behalf of our friends who shared with us, who I'm sure will totally agree Christiane and Gwyn Williams

We had the most fantastic Holiday in Cumbria.

The Old Grainstore completely surpassed expectations. It is a gorgeous little cottage, that has been beautifully converted and well maintained. Everything we could possibly need had been provided. We received a lovely welcome basket filled with homemade scones, banana bread, and local jam. Joanne had also left a selection of toys for my little girl to play with during our stay which she absolutely adored, and was so thoughtful. All the rooms were well appointed, comfy beds and sofas, and beautifully decorated. We loved the outside space, a little courtyard at the back where we had a barbecue one evening (also provided by our lovely hosts), and a lawned area next to a field with calves and sheep with ride on toys which my daughter also loved. We had the opportunity to feed the calves in the evenings, and we were also taken on a nature walk around the farm one evening where we saw a buzzard, heron and two hares (amongst other wildlife). Our hosts were so friendly and accommodating, I really cannot fault The Old Grainstore. We has such a wonderful time. I would thoroughly recommend you book your holiday here!

e absolutely loved staying at The Old Grainstore, the spacious cottage is beautiful and immaculately presented and amazingly equipped.

We particularly enjoyed the outdoor playing area which is perfect for children and having BBQs. The owners were so accommodating and helpful and our daughter loved going with them to feed the cows. We would not hesitate in booking this cottage again!

The owners were so friendly and the cottage was absolutely beautiful.

Even their dogs were friendly. We had a great weekend.

Stunning cottage,set in countryside.

A car is essential. Lots of personal touches made this house very special! A lovely welcome hamper. The kids loved the visit from the local ice cream van and helping to feed the calves !

Joanne and Martin were really lovely, friendly and helpful.

..the accommodation was so comfortable the guys wanted to live there!!!

It had everything we needed and more to make our stay comfortable.

It was really child friendly and the owners were so helpful and gave us great information about local attractions.

Joanne is a great host and made sure we were comfortable in our cottage.

She also willingly let our children feed calves in her farm and play with her dogs. The welcome snacks of scones, homemade raspberry jam and banana cake were delicious

It's a true farm experience - the cows are very close to the accommodation but that adds to the charm of the cottage.

We saw a calf being born, helped feed the calves and had a superb tour of the farm. The owners were an absolute delight - extremely helpful, warm and friendly. Overall, a wonderful farm holiday for the kids and we all came back relaxed and well-rested.
