Piggery Cottage

We have visited piggerycottage several times now.

Lorna and Jim are two of the nicest people that you could ever wish to meet. The cottage is very well equipped with everything that you require. Beautifully clean and comfortable. Easy access to many beautiful places. Hospitality second to none. Karen and Rob

Perfect as always!

Lorna and Jim are superb hosts. Wonderfully presented cottage with so many lovely touches to make it a true home from home!

Very welcoming from Lorna/Jim.

Excellent comfy and clean accommodation,well equipped with everything you could need. Lovely welcome pack which was a nice surprise, just what you need for a lovely relaxing break ideal for exploring the Lakes will definitely be going back again would highly recommend!!! Lorna/Jim are great hosts 5* .

As always we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Piggery Cottage.

The cottage is so cosy and clean, and Lorna and Jim are so welcoming. It’s quite close to the Lake District which is beautiful. We will definitely stay again :)

Lovely cottage in a good location for exploring the area.

Excellent host

Very well equipped comfortable cottage with everything we needed and more We had a busy time visiting relatives and it was a wonderful peaceful base to return to Lorna is a wonderful host many thanks for your wonderful hospitality

Lovely Cottage in a picturesque, tranquil location fully equipped with everything you could need.

Superb base for days out in the surrounding tourist spots and if you're unsure you can rely on a vast array of knowledge from your hostess Lorna to assist you. Believe me it's a privilege in itself to stay at this location alongside Lorna, Jim and the friendly, cuddly Rupert the golden retriever. Absolutely fantastic, we loved our stay and hope to again soon. For those who appreciate the niceties in people.

We had a lovely stay at Piggery cottage.

There was everything you could need for a comfortable stay & Lorna the host was so friendly & helpful. We were visiting family but it is not far from the Solway coast & the lakes so perfect for visiting the area. We would definitely recommend it & will book again.

Immaculate, cosy cottage in beautiful rural setting.

Ideal location for coast, lakes and borders. Christmss decorations were a lovely feature. Wonderful friendly hosts. Will definitely book again

Really enjoyed our stay at this cottage.

We chose it after reading the on-line reviews and were not disappointed. Big thick solid walls give this cottage a warm, cozy and snug feeling and its perfect for 2 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. Apparently its on a working farm but it was hard to tell, with no interference at all from noise or machinery. The kitchen is home from home with all the utensils you'll need. The upstairs living room was comfortable with a great electric fire and lots of games and Dvds to choose from. The bathrooms were cleans and tidy and the shower was good with hot water on tap. Plenty of outdoor space to the front of the cottage and a good security light comes on when returning at night. To conclude, we really enjoyed our 4 night stay at this cottage. Lorna, the owner, was a great host and very social. We have no hesitation in recommending this cottage.

Wow, Wow, Wow!

! Piggery Cottage did not disappoint. The cottage has absolutely EVERYTHING you could need and is quirky in it's set up, in my daughter's words "it's an upside down house!" Towels, shower gel, welcome basket, ironing board, washing tablets, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread are all provided, we will definitely be returning. Thank you so much for a wonderful few days.

Myself and my little dog had a lovely stay.

Lorna the host was lovely and the little touches were really lovely. The property was lovely and clean and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Will definitely be back again.

This little cottage is small and very quaintly decorated with farmyard animal- themed accessories.

The owners provided a very generous welcome pack including all sorts of goodies. On arrival we were greeted by the owner who kindly provided a dog water bowl, towel and treats. The cottage has everything needed for a comfortable stay. It is very suitable for a couple, or a couple with 2 small children. The lounge area is easily big enough for 4 adults but the dining area is very small and would have been a bit cramped if there were 4 of us. We very much enjoyed our short break here. The convenient location of the cottage enabled us to explore the coast of the Solway Firth both North and South. We were lucky enough to see a barn owl in the fields just outside the farmyard, and we were delighted to see large numbers of barnacle geese flying over. Thank you to the owners for the generous welcome and the thoughtful little touches which were much appreciated

I cannot speak highly enough of this wee cottage.

Lorna is so welcoming and lots of nice touches like a welcome basket and flowers. The kids loved running around on the farm. Thanks so much.

We had a wonderful long weekend at Piggery Cottage.

From the moment we arrived, Lorna made us feel incredibly welcome, setting the tone for a delightful stay. The cottage itself exceeded our expectations; it was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the thoughtful little extras added a lovely touch. Despite the challenges posed by Storm Amy, we found the cottage to be a comfortable haven where we could truly unwind. Although our stay was only for three nights, we left with plans to return for a longer visit. Highly recommended!

We have stayed at Piggery Cottage several times now.

It's our go to place for a lovely relaxing stay. Lorna and Jim are the perfect hosts. Such lovely, kind and thoughtful people. The cottage is just perfect in every way. Everything you need is in there. A lovely hamper is provided and lovely homemade cake. Lovely days out just a short drive away. It's just perfect.

I couldn’t think of anything bad to say about our stay if I tried!

We absolutely love staying at Piggery Cottage. It’s so cozy, clean, comfortable and peaceful. We had a drive to the Lake District, Scotland and Silloth-on-Solway. The cottage has everything you need, we received a lovely welcome pack on arrival with wine, crisps, biscuits and homemade cake. Lorna, Jim and Rupert (golden retriever), live next door and are so lovely and kind, couldn’t wish for better hosts. Will definitely be returning

We had such a wonderful holiday aided perfectly by our stay at Piggery Cottage.

It was such a great base for the Lake District. Thank you Lorna for everything. We felt right at home from the first minute we arrived. It’s such a beautiful cottage, fully equipped with everything we needed hosted by such a lovely, kind couple.

A perfect cottage for our stay.

Lorna made us very welcome and the "welcome goodies" were a were a wonderful touch. Piggery Cottage, whilst small, has everything anyone could want for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend here if you need a central location to explore the Solway Plain and the North West Lakes

We really enjoyed our stay.

Lorna was the perfect host. She was very friendly and all the extra little touches such as the basket of treats and essential food and drink items were much appreciated. The flowers were beautiful and we felt cosy and home from home.

A beautiful cottage and location, all immaculate.

The hosts are lovely and on hand if needed. We've already booked another stay.

Beautiful characterful, cosy cottage in a stunning location.

So much attention to detail and everything from cutlery to furnishings was immaculate. Quality bed and bedding. Lovely extra touches such as fresh flowers and goodies on arrival. The hosts, Lorna and Jim, made us feel really welcome and went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay. Perfect for our dog as well, she had a great time!

We had a superb stay at piggery cottage and the warmest of welcomes from the host.

She really did make our stay. It's exceptionally located for exploring the lake district, the borders and in to Scotland.

A wonderful little cottage with so many little extra touches.

We had a memorable short stay

Thanks to Lorna for a lovely stay, we've been before and do hope to go again.

Great location for touring Cumbria, a very peaceful place to stay,

Amazing stay at Piggery.

Cannot thank the owners enough for making our stay so perfect!

We loved everything about this cottage.

Beautifully kept and comfortable inside and the outdoor area is as stunning as the photos suggest. A huge thank you to Lorna & Jim for their hospitality and we echo the other reviews regarding the extra touches such as home baking and flowers. We were sad to leave !

Beautiful cottage with so many little touches that made it a perfect place to explore the Lake District.

The host was so lovely, made us feel at home immediately. Can’t wait to go back.

Absolutely amazing stay.

Beautiful cottage in an excellent location. Would have stayed longer if I could have. Owners are so lovely with all the lovely welcoming touches they made to make us feel so welcome. Definitely would go back and recommend to anyone who loves a peaceful,beautiful place to stay while visiting the area. Really missing it so much from the second I left

We had the best time at the Piggery Cottage.

Inside is well equipped for everything you could need. Extremely clean and comfortable. Stunning place. The scenery and views are breathtaking. Lorna and Jim were the kindest, friendliest people. We feel like we were staying with friends. Rupert the dog and Blossom the pony are absolute stars. We would highly recommend The Piggery if you are looking for a homely and comfortable stay in the countryside. We are definitely going to be visiting again.

Piggerycottage is everything that you could wish for.

Very clean and comfortable. Well equipped and has a very homely feel about it. Set in beautiful surroundings, and is very peaceful and quiet. The perfect place to relax. Plenty of places to visit just a short drive away. The hosts Lorna and Jim are very nice people and very helpful.

A massive thank you to Lorna and Jim for making us so welcome.

Piggery Cottage is well located, within easy reach of Keswick and the coast. It is a very cosy little house that is superbly equipped. It felt like a home from home. We loved the goodies in the very generous welcome pack. Thank you so much. Julie and Annie xx

Super nice cottage.

Great hospitality. The kitchen was richly stocked with foodstuffs. Very dog friendly

What a beautiful well presented cottage in a perfect location.

A real home from home. Lorna is lovely was very welcoming and has thought of everything. Loved the hamper, fresh flowers and treats. Thank you for being a perfect host, we hope to return.

A lovely little cottage in a beautiful part of Cumbria with great access to the lakes - Bassenthwaite & Keswick only 25 minutes away.

Solway coast only 15 minutes. Coop and Lidl in Wigton are nearest for provisions. Our host Lorna was super friendly and helpful and added lots of nice touches, amazing lemon drizzle cake, bread, milk, chocolates, and even treats for our dogs. Cottage has everything you need. Just be aware, there's no enclosed area with the cottage, so we couldn't just let our dogs out. But, we would recommend a stay at Piggery.

Lorna was very welcoming and had provided generous extras in the hamper for human and dog consumption.

She was also generous with her time by showing the children her animals. I would definitely like to stay there again !

Another lovely stay, warm and cosy, very peaceful just what we needed.

Looking forward to returning again

Piggery Cottage was an excellent place to stay, we couldn’t be happier.

Always nice and warm to come back to at night and well appointed. We will return

We have stayed at Piggery Cottage several times over the last 4 years and it just gets better every time.

The cottage is everything you could wish for. Clean and comfortable. Very well equipped and situated in the perfect place. The owners are wonderful and very helpful. It is the perfect place to stay.

We have stayed here a few times now and have always been made to feel so welcome.

Our stay was absolutely perfect.

Lovely cottage with a great welcome pack.

Very quiet location on a beautiful part of the country. Dog friendly but be aware the owner has chickens and an aviary close by, so dogs are on leads (as made clear in the listing) at all times. No grass immediately outside so your dogs need to be comfortable with toileting on gravel.

Beautiful cottage and warm welcome from lorna, we are a family of 4, children aged 12 and 9yrs and everything was perfect.

We would happily stay in piggery cottage again. Lorna has got it just right, all the extras were such a surprise . Thank you!

we have just had a few days here at this comfy ,cosy cottage.

it has everything you you could need. Lorna the owner was so friendly as was her lovely gentle dog, Rupert. The welcome hamper was amazing too and so unexpected. This lady goes the extra mile to make you welcome. Our granddaughters loved going to see the Shetland ponies with you. There is a field next door so our dog had a good run and the beach is nearby. We had a great time here and would love to return. Shannon family.

The owner of piggery cottage was amazing.

She accommodated us very short notice but had set everything up beautifully. It felt like a home away from home. The scenery around the cottage was beautiful and it was so peaceful at night. I love the fact we were provided with a few items to help make our stay more convenient such as bread and milk. I would definitely stay here again.

Superb.

Lovely location and lovely hosts. They go over and above with the facilities and extras they provide. The house is fantastic, very comfortable in every way. Welcoming for dogs too! We hope to return one day.

The cottage had everything to hand.

Double bed very comfortable to sleep in. Host was wonderful-really welcoming and helpful. A home from home. A very peaceful place to stay. Great place and great hosts.

Property great with a nice greeting from host.

Well situated for northern lakes and quiet property. Well equipped with several pubs nearby which were dog friendly which made life easy. Will return in future.

Our stay was great.

Lovely weather. Lovely cottage and lovely hosts (Lorna, Jim and Rupert the dog). The cottage had everything we needed, and more. The welcome hamper was beautiful and included freshly baked cake made by Lorna - who was super friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay again. A little gem in the countryside.

After our 4th visit to piggerycottage, it just gets better!

!. Lorna and Jim are such lovely people and so welcoming. Everything about the cottage is perfect. Our stays are so comfortable and relaxing. We love it. Molly our Springer is also so happy to be there. Wonderful place!! Can't wait for our 5th visit in the autumn.

We had a wonderful week in April, the cottage was warm & cosy.

Had everything we needed and was a brilliant location. The owners were warm and welcoming and we will definitely be booking again

A perfect farm cottage.

Welcoming, clean and well stocked. All as advertised.

We have been going to piggery cottage for years now and always found it clean and comfortable, and always had a lovely warm welcome form Lorna and Jim our hosts who treat use as friends rather than holidaymakers, and always spoil us and the our dog, Thunder with a wonderful basket of goodies.

We highly recommend piggery cottage to anyone who wants a relaxing and carefree holiday.

Yet another wonderful holiday at Piggery Cottage.

Peace and tranquillity and yet only a short drive from the Lake District. Lorna Wilson always gives us a great welcome. It has become a real home from home for us.

Lovely place to stay in a lovely location

Wonderful stay, great cottage and lovely hosts!

We will be back.

Special thanks to Lorna and Jim for making us feel welcome during our stay during Christmas.

Really enjoyed the Christmas hamper, decorations and farm. A special thanks for a freshly baked cake.

We had a wonderful stay at the Piggery.

The cottage is beautifully renovated and furnished to a high standard with lovely comfortable beds. It’s is spotlessly clean and every home comfort is provided including a beautiful basket of treats. The hosts hospitality goes over and above and nothing was too much trouble. The farm is beautiful and perfectly placed for a relaxing break in the countryside.

We have stayed at piggerycottage 3 times now and each time we have been highly satisfied.

Lorna and Jim are the most amazing hosts. Everything is just perfect. Everything you could ever wish for and more. We will definitely be returning next year.

The write up for this cottage looked fantastic, yet the reality of the place went far beyond our expectations.

The cottage is surrounded by a beautifully planted garden, with chickens roaming and fields beyond. A basket of cake, chocolate, tea, coffee and other goodies welcomed us in the kitchen. Vases of fresh cut flowers, from the garden were dotted around the beautiful cottage. The hosts are wonderful, welcoming, within a minutes of meeting felt like we’d known them a long time. The kitchen had everything we could need, including a slow cooker, which we put to good use. The cottage was warm and very welcoming, furniture is very comfortable. Traditional decor makes this charming cottage a wonderful escape from busy everyday life. We will definitely be going back. Only thing to mention, the layout, living room and bathroom upstairs, means it is not suitable for people who have difficulty with stairs. For everyone one else I heartily recommend staying xx

Nice place, fantastic, helpful owners

Great to be back at Piggery Cottage, we will definitely visit again.

Lovely area, peace and quiet. Lorna had taken the trouble to leave bread, milk and cake. Very homely. Great spot for the lakes and the coast. Lovely sunsets over the Solway Firth seen from the upstairs lounge window.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Well equipped. Appreciated the milk, bread and cake and the welcome basket on arrival. Very friendly owners on site in case of queries. Daisy and Murray enjoyed the dog treats provided as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Piggery Cottage and would recommend it to others.

We had a fabulous short break.

The cottage is wonderful, absolutely spotless and has everything you could possibly need. The hosts are welcoming, helpful and friendly whilst giving you the privacy you would want while on holiday. During our stay there were calves in the nursery next to the cottage a joy to watch while having a coffee. We hope to return soon

Very nice cottage in quiet rural location.

Easy access to northern lakes and fells. Very clean with nice welcome pack. Friendly owners and their dogs (also friendly!) live next door. Can park car directly outside cottage and there is pleasant out door seating area.

the welcome from the lovely host was amazing, everything from wine to chocolate in a welcome hamper, including treats for the dog !

the cottage was impeccably clean and so well equipped you want for nothing, the car park and surround beautifully kept, the animals a delightful plus. Meeting Lorna was a joy, such a lovely ,genuine lady. Cannot wait to go back !

This was a particularly well equipped cottage with a welcoming host who went the extra mile to make our stay an enjoyable one.

My grandchildren just loved it and we learned a lot about the animals.

Piggery cottage was the most well equipped place we’ve ever stayed.

It is in such a beautiful location and it is very easy to get to the lakes, Blackpool, Carlisle and many other places. Lorna is so welcoming and kindly allowed my children to give the animals their breakfast. The lemon drizzle cake and little welcome basket were fantastic additions and needless to say disappeared very quickly! Our stay was very peaceful and we will be booking again! We had an absolutely delightful stay and would love to return.

A wonderful 3 night stay at Piggery Cottage with my partner and 3 year old son.

Very comfortable and Mrs Wilson was extremely welcoming. Heating easy to navigate, fridge, freezer, oven etc all in perfect working order. WiFi available in the cottage. Plenty nearby, a perfect base to explore. Lots of lovely touches and nothing was too much trouble. We can’t wait to visit again! Thank you!

Absolutely fabulous, so comfortable.

Great area and Lorna ( host ) was really lovely and left homemade cake and a lot of wee extra goodies for our arrival. Would highly recommend x

Beautiful cottage, great location, fantastic host

Beautiful little cottage everything there what you need lovely welcome basket with chocolate crisps biscuits wine etc .

The host Lorna was very helpful such a lovely lady we would definitely go back at some point so relaxing and set in a lovely place .

Fantastic place to stay with a fantastic host.

Piggery Cottage is an excellent cosy little cottage on a working farm. Ideally located for exploring the North Lakes and coast. Having stayed at a number of properties in the locality, the host; Lorna, goes the extra distance to make sure your stay is extra special. From a welcome hamper of goodies and essentials, setting the cottage up with a Christmas tree, decorations and lights to make it feel like home from home, to showing us round the farm at milking time, where Craig was a fountain of knowledge explaining everything from the milking process to how the farm operates, nothing was too much trouble. For dog lovers, be prepared for the very friendly resident dogs Rupert and Max to visit for a daily treat and fuss. Simply, the best place we’ve stayed at.

We loved the cottage Everything we needed plus extras.

Welcome basket was lovely My granddaughter enjoyed going with Lorna to feed the animals in the mornings. Lorna showed us around the farm and even got to watch the cows being milked. Would definitely stay there again

This was our third visit to Piggery Cottage and it won’t be our last, because it is a very comfortable, homely place to stay and we get a great welcome.

Anyone who has rented self catering accommodation will be familiar with having to go out and buy basic food essentials like bread, milk, coffee, tea etc. Also things like washing up liquid, soap, paper towels etc. Well that is not the case at Piggery Cottage as Mrs. Wilson makes sure that all the basics are provided and plenty of treats (cakes, crisps wine etc.) as well. So many self catering Cottages are equipped with granny’s tired ‘hand me down’ furniture and left over odds and ends of kitchen utensils and crockery. This is not the case with Piggery Cottage. There are ample supplies just about anything you might need; all in good order. What’s more, we found that if we needed anything that wasn’t already provided then one word with Lorna Wilson and it magically appeared.

This was our 3rd time at Piggery Cottage and it never fails to impress us.

The cottage is like a home from home and has everything you could ever need to make your stay enjoyable. From the fresh flowers, the welcome packs and the delicious home made cakes, Lorna has thought of everything right down to the dog biscuits! The location suited us very well and as we had good weather most days it was lovely to sit outside in the peace and tranquillity and just relax. Lorna is a mine of information and quite the storyteller, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. I would most definitely recommend this delightful cottage and we will be returning next year.

Lorna our host was the best, very kind helpful and friendly ,she left us lovely homemade cakes,andwe need not have taken anything with us as everything was.

Provided ..a lovely place to stay

Owners were incredibly friendly and attentive without imposing.

We had a great time and enjoyed the animals and space.

This was our second visit in two months.

It was even better than our first because the sun shone every day for a week. We could relax outside all day long and well into the evening; enjoying both the tranquility of the setting and the superb views. This cottage has everything we could wish for..

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Piggery Cottage.

The surroundings were beautiful. The host, Mrs Wilson was so friendly and helpful. The small touches such as the dog treats and the homemade lemon drizzle cake was a bonus! It was definitely worth the trip and we will be returning soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great hosts at the property which is in a lovely location.

The accommodation is very well equipped and Lorna, the owner, provided a great welcome pack. If you have a dog with you they are well catered for with their own towels and treats. We needed a relaxing break and that’s what we got. We’ll be returning.

Perfect for us, wonderful place and experience for our very outdoors 5 year old, who made a special friend of the lovely host and her animals.

Thank you.

Great place, great host, wonderful location

Excellent location for our needs, the cottage was everything we expected and more.

Very clean and comfortable and equipped with everything you could want. Lorna and Jim, the hosts, went the extra mile. Fresh flowers, chocolates and home made cakes, as well as a welcome pack for us Lorna had also provided welcome treats for our golden retriever! This was the second time we have stayed here and we have already booked out next break in September.

A lovely cottage, tucked away in a peaceful spot and yet very convenient for the North Lakes (Cockermouth and Keswick) and also the coast (Silloth, Maryport and Allonby).

The cottage had everything we could wish for in terms of convenience and comfort with stunning views across the fields and over the Solway Firth to the Galloway Hills. Mrs. Wilson gave us a wonderful welcome and kept us well supplied with home bakes. She had placed fresh flowers in the cottage together with wine, nibbles and a welcome pack which included bread, milk etc. Throughout our stay, Rupert, the Golden Retriever called in past each day just to say hello and enjoy a bit of fuss. My wife and I have stayed in many rental properties over the years; some good, some bad and even some which were truly appalling. Piggery Cottage was the best of them all.

The goodies basket was a lovely surprise with home baking.

The owners were welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends.

Everything was perfect and we felt very safe because the owner was following the government guide lines in respect of Covid 19.

We had a wonderful holiday as usual.

Last minute booking and I couldn't be happier with my choice.

Stunning location, close enough to the likes of Keswick but far enough away for a relax without the crowds. The hosts were fantastic as was the property. Warm, welcoming and extremely clean. The pride in the place really does show all the way through the cottage. Well equipped kitchen and cooking facilities. The extra touches like the welcome basket, fresh bread and milk, a towel and treats for the dog is what sets places like this apart. We will definitely be returning. Thank you

Lovely place to stay.

Made to feel very welcome by the owners.

Hospitality was amazing!

!!

We had such a warm welcome at Piggery Cottage.

Mrs. Wilson has thought of everything to make guests as comfortable as possible. We were grateful for the amazing welcome hamper, including milk for a cuppa on arrival and her infamous lemon drizzle cake! It was fantastic to see the cows every morning and we made friends with two calves while we were there. We can’t recommend Piggery Cottage highly enough- it was lovely.

Great place to stay, really clean and well equipped.

It’s a good location for exploring the northern lakes.

Piggery Cottage was a delight and Lorna & Jim were so nice and very helpful.

The homemade cake and welcome basket, the chocolates and sweets were a lovely touch (not good for the waistline though!). We loved being shown around the farm and seeing the cows being milked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back and stay another time.

Our fifth time back at Piggery Cottage; as peaceful and relaxing as ever.

Launa (and Jim) have created a real gem, with its own unique character and style. A great location, with straightforward access to the Solway coast and into the Lakes, along with nearby Wigton, we are looking forward to visiting again soon!

The holiday let owner was really lovely, leaving all sorts of goodies in the welcome pack, even home baking!

We had lots of chats and she made us feel so at home. We will definitely be staying at the piggery cottage again.

We had a most enjoyable stay at piggery cottage.

The owners were really lovely people and so helpful. The cottage itself was really nice and comfortable. Very well equipped. The welcome pack was amazing. Homemade cakes!. We will definitely be going back there next year. Loved every minute.

An amazing welcome after a long drive, so many nice touches around the cottage.

Location perfect to visit Scotland and the Lake District.

Very warm welcome from Lorna the owner, A very nice welcome pack for us in the kitchen, Our 2 Dogs loved the farm , always looking at the cows when milking time came around.

We had a really good time Thank You

The hospitality from Lorna and her family was really great, we had a fantastic time and will certainly be booking this cottage again in the future.

The extra little things that Lorna and her family does to make your stay special exceeded our expectations, especially the homemade lemon drizzle cake. If your looking for proper hospitality and home from home comforts then this is the cottage to book.

Fantastic time at the piggery.

Everything you need for a self catering holiday. Love the welcome pack that Lorna leaves ... everything you need to start you off. The home baked cakes are to die for..... Lorna even gave me an extra one that she knew I liked from our first visit. Beautiful surroundings on a working farm. Very chilled and relaxing location. Love this little upside down cottage .... x

Really nice little cottage , in a lovely setting on a working farm.

Friendly owners & made to feel very welcome with lovely welcome hamper including a home made cake !

Lovely place to stay.

Very friendly hosts. Beautiful setting. Homemade cakes and basket of goodies on arrival. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent well equipped cottage with loads of homely touches and more than you could ever need to make it a perfect get away Would highly recommend Piggery cottage suitable for all ages and we had a fabulous time

Super hosts and welcome to cottage.

Good welcome pack including wine and home made cakes. Working farm surrounded by beautiful countryside, but very quiet.

Piggery cottage was warm and very cosy ideal for a relaxing holiday.

The owner excelled in hospitality. Would strongly recommend this property.

We found the hostess very friendly and obliging and very knowledgeable about the area.

We were made so welcome when we first arrived with treats for our dog and treats for us as a welcome gift. We love or holidays there and can't wait for our next holiday at the piggery cottage to come round as we are made to feel part of the family and extra special.

The cottage is in a quiet location yet handy for the northern Lakes and the Solway coast.

Clean, comfortable and well equipped. The friendly owners live next door and make you most welcome but are never intrusive. We would have no hesitation in revisiting but be prepared to put weight on as the welcome pack including home baked cakes is delicious and has to be seen to be believed.

From the minute we pulled up I knew I was going to enjoy myself.

Gorgeous location in the Cumbrian countryside, giving easy access to surrounding attractions in the Lake District. Lorna was a fantastic friendly host who meet us at the door and showed us round. She explained where everything was and told us to contact her at any time if there was any problems. The cottage had everything you needed and more. The welcome pack was more than expected including some gorgeous home baked cakes (absolutely to die for). Nothing was too much trouble from our hosts. Definitely will be returning. X

We had an amazing time at the piggery.

Lorna can't do enough for you and the cottage has lots of personal touches that makes it a home from home. Highly recommended and we will definately be back.

We had a lovely welcome from Lorna and her family.

The children absolutely loved the stay.

Fabulous - This cottage was amazing.

It was warm, cosy, clean, everything you could wish for. We could not fault it or think of anything that it didn't have. The owners were so friendly and accommodating. Definitely would go back again.

Excellent accommodation, great location.

Welcome pack an added bonus. Exactly as described and look forward to returning again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better welcome from the property owner for our stay.

Our time there was very enjoyable and our host couldn’t have been more accommodating. We would use Sykes website again and certainly recommend this accommodation. Thank you!

Amazing little holiday cottage.

..has everything you need in a picturesque setting...the owners were lovely and very welcoming...lots of little touches like freshly baked cake and basket of goodies on arrival...everywhere was spotless and the cottage has everything you need and more...even showed us around the farm including the baby animals and milking parlour...will definitely return.

We had a great week at piggery cottage.

we were made so welcome by Lorna and Jim. We were in Wigton for a family wedding they helped to make the day go very smoothly by being very understanding. Great cottage very relaxing and lovely cake and sweet little touches. Our dog Charlie made himself right at home.

Set is in a rural location but only a 5 minute drive from Wigton where 3 supermarkets and other local shops will ensure you will have all the supplies you need.

Plenty of eating places in the town and nearby. The cottage more than lives up to the photographs in the listing. It has all the facilities you could wish for, a home from home. Mrs. Wilson (owner) is a very welcoming host, fresh flowers in the cottage and a welcome pack was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Although there was a comprehensive information folder outlining the operation of appliances etc she spent the time to show us where everything was and how they worked. There were no problems during our stay but I am confident, had there been, it would have been quickly sorted. A plus for us was the ability to take our dog with us. We used this as a base to explore the hills and trails around Keswick. There is a book in the cottage listing walks suitable for dogs which we used. I found the walks Aira Force and Friar's Crag very rewarding for us all. Friar's Crag was the longer of the two walks and there was the bonus of stopping at the Mary Mount Hotel (dog friendly) for a coffee about the halfway point. Aira Force is equally dog friendly having both a kiosk and a café. One day the weather was clagged in and our walk in the Ullswater area would have been a waste of time so we walked up "Binsey", a hill which is not to far away from the cottage. On a good day I'm told you have great views of the surrounding area, the Solway coast, Keswick and Derwent water, perhaps next time. Returned to cottage, dried off, and spent an enjoyable afternoon exploring Cockermouth and Maryport. All in all a great few days away and I would have no hesitation staying in the cottage again

beautiful cottage, the owners really couldn't do enough to help us out.

And dogs had an amazing time

Piggery Cottage was just what we needed for a relaxing break in peace and quiet.

Lorna and her family are so friendly and go the extra mile to make you feel at home, including their pets. Rupert the dog is just lovely and very friendly. The welcome pack was more than we expected and the cakes were just scrummy. Would definitely look at going there again. This is the first time we have booked with Sykes and if this is the quality of your cottages then we will be looking at booking with you again.

As always we have had a lovely time at Piggery Cottage, it's so lovely being there, we get lots of lovely goodies and to see the cows, sheep as well as the lovely cats and the Golden Retriever is great.

The countryside is lovely and there are so many places to visit. We will return again.

This holiday home had to be the best I we have stayed in.

Lorna and Jim are fantastic hosts and the surroundings are absolutely outstanding we will defiantly be back again.

The owners were particularly lovely, welcoming and couldnt do more for you.

The accomodation was spotlessly clean and the welcome pack was comprenhensive and much appreciated after our 4 hour drive. Being shown around the working farm by the owners was an unexpected treat that we found fascinating and enjoyable. The only slight issue we experienced was the wifi wasnt working but in fairness there wasnt anything the owners could do as they were awaiting BT to fix a fault their end. All in all we had a great week away and the weather was great.

What can I really say about this cottage that hasn’t already been said.

We loved our stay here from the moment we walked into the cottage. It was Devine so quaint well maintained a home from home. Lorna and Jim have provided everything you need there. The welcome package was amazing filled with wonderful goodies. And cakes made for us to have a nice cuppa with after a long journey from Cornwall, a lovely touch. Carlisle was my home town so I knew how far we were away from the nearest town, pub, shop etc. The farm is a working farm so there is livestock around inc free range hens. Three friendly sheep in the field opposite the cottage also, so please respect the fact that if you take your dog with u that they remain on the lead when on the farm. Lorna has a wonderful retriever dog called Rupert that my collie Daisy fell madly in love with

Great location, beautiful cottage and the friendliness and hospitality of the Wilson family was second to none.

We would thoroughly recommend this cottage and location to all.

Great cottage and great hosts here.

Well located for touring about the Cumbria, Lake Districts area. Highly recommended. We spent a wonderful week here and will go back for sure !

The location was wonderful , peaceful and quiet.

The owner and family are so kind and generous and made our stay extra special , especially for our 4 year old Grand-daughter.

Very easy to book and view dates available using my mobile.

Will use again

I always love coming here, just the most amazing cottage and wonderful hosts.

Idyllic setting, and very easy to get to.

This cottage was excellent.

it provided everything we could have possibly needed.the location was brilliant for the lakes the coast and the borders of Scotland.the owners were so friendly and welcoming even supplying a constant stream of delicious home made cakes for us and treats for our dog .our holiday was perfect.

This is the best holiday we have ever had with Sykes Cottages.

Everything was absolutely perfect not only for us but for Solo our dog. Our hostess made us feel so welcome we felt part of the family. We would highly recommend the Piggery Cottage to anyone and everyone and we will definitely be going back.

Being naturally sceptical about feedback sites, I read the comments about this cottage but decided to make my own mind up and not get too excited about all the positive feedback.

However, from the moment we arrived everything was simply perfect. The personal welcome from Lorna on arrival was genuine and warm but was just the precursor to what lay ahead. The accommodation was spotless, well equipped, homely and just right for the four of us. But what really made the difference was the welcome pack of snacks, home-made cakes, wine, fruit, sweets and dog treats, along with all the other necessary provisions we would normally gave had to go shopping for - Lorna and Jim had thought of everything. During our stay, surrounded by the farm animals, Lorna was always there if we needed anything and always happy to have a little chat - we even met Timmy her pet sheep and the dogs. Thank you Lorna for a warm welcome and lovely stay. Hopefully we will see you again.

We had a great time at Piggery cottage.

Laura, the owner, was exremely helpful & welcoming. The cottage was very comfortable & we enjoyed the welcome pack & home made cakes - we especially appreciated the field to excercise our dog
