Description
Robin Hood Farmhouse is a agreeable pet-friendly retreat set in Bassenthwaite, Cumbria, ideal for families or friends seeking a rural break, with an enclosed garden, scenic countryside views, and easy access to the Lake District National Park; enter through the gate onto the gravel driveway where far-reaching views create a relaxed atmosphere, and step inside to find a detached farmhouse offering a welcoming base after days of exploration, with a hallway leading to a sitting room furnished with sofas and armchairs gathered around an electric fire, perfect for unwinding while enjoying the outlook or settling in with the TV, before continuing into a dining room designed for shared meals and lively conversation, which leads through to a well-appointed kitchen featuring wooden worktops and all the essentials for preparing home-cooked dishes, complemented by a utility with additional appliances for convenience, while doors open out to the garden for easy indoor-outdoor living; outside, the garden provides a lovely space to enjoy the fresh air with a patio, lawn, and furniture suited to everything from morning coffee to evening relaxation while dogs stretch their legs, and a handy ground-floor cloakroom completes the layout before heading upstairs to three inviting bedrooms, consisting of a king-size, double, and single, each offering a restful spot to recharge, alongside a bathroom with bath and shower over and a separate WC for added practicality; from the doorstep, explore the Lake District National Park with its walking trails, cycling routes, waterfalls, and open countryside, visit Wordsworth House and Garden to discover the poet’s early life, or enjoy the interactive exhibits at Puzzling Place, all before returning to Robin Hood Farmhouse for a memorable countryside stay.

What guests are saying
The cottage itself is in a beautiful peaceful location, very difficult to find, especially as there is a large tree in front view, so if you blink you miss it.
Sadly the upstairs toilet leaked, the downstairs toilet moves as you get off it, the boiler is leaking. There were 4 plates to accommodate 5 people. Also no WiFi, I had to use mobile data for the entire stay, as I don’t have unlimited I’m dreading my bill, I do feel there should be a complete review of all the listing this cottage provides. It was my birthday treat too, so non too pleased. As we struggled to find the cottage and no one would answer any messages to assist us, until the following day. A sad stay for my birthday
This cottage was booked for four people on the sykes website, yet only three towels were provided and no hand towels at all, we had to buy a towel next day.
The internet connection when available is slow and not always available. Outdoor areas overgrown and need tidying up. Adjacent open farm buildings are full of old junk that would be a hazard to children, typical of farmers, it is no place for children under 12 to be left unsupervised playing outside. The small bedroom has no light by the bed it is in he far corner as there is no power point anywhere else. We won't be staying again, only the cleaners seem to do things properly.
