Cragside Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 7 guests in 4 bedrooms

Neighbours came out complaining before we had even unloaded our vehicles. They were quite rude. Made arrival stressful

Overall we had a good week at Cragside Cottage, right beside a crag with sheep grazing. Lovely open-plan living area and large Smart TV which the grandchildren loved. Modern kitchen, but could have done with slightly smaller dinner plates which actually fitted in the dishwasher and pans which weren’t so heavy. We had been assured the patio area would be fenced off by the time we went, but there was nowhere to sit out at all. But it was in a good setting, very easy to park and handy for a number of beauty spots.

Lovely house with bedrooms downstairs and a lovely open plan kitchen, dining and seating area upstairs. There is a second bathroom with shower on the top floor with main bathroom on ground floor. The kitchen is well equipped including dish washing items. We loved the location as easy access to Penrith, Keswick and Ulswater with lots of lovely walks. Whilst the property is on a working farm it’s very quiet. There are farm dogs that come & say hello so you do need to watch out for poop but you are in the countryside & they are working dogs. We had a couple of visits from the Herdwick sheep that pass by the house on the hill outside. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again,

Five *****

Great cottage, perfect location for a short drive to Keswick and other areas across the north lakes

The cottage is a lovely well equipped property based on a working farm. Watch out for the farm dogs poop! Check in was easy and there is a tablet which has information regarding the property although no information regarding the nearest shop.

Was a great place for me and my friends to stay in the Lake District. Very cozy rooms and good furniture. No problems at all, I recommend highly!

Beautiful spacious cottage, good location, as we were staying for the nearby triathlon in Keswick. Two high spec bathrooms, one on each floor, was appreciated. Really lovely open plan kitchen/diner/lounge with comfy sofas. Downside was the patio area has been dug up so there was nowhere to sit out and the farm dogs roam around, leaving a mess. Also it's a long drive down the farm track!

Really easy arrival with a key safe. We okayed having an extra car before arrival and this was easily accommodated by the owners. The cottage interior was very comfortably furnished and welcoming, and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were very comfy! The dog walk from the door was lovely, it would have been nice to have had a seating area outside the cottage but we managed without. There’s a quality farm shop 20 mins walk away and the Troutbeck Inn is a 5 min drive away for an excellent evening meal. The cottage is situated within a working farm; very tranquil and off the beaten track with beautiful vistas. We wish we had booked for longer!

Lovely place, comfortable beds. A little remote for our liking but it was peaceful. Upstairs shower tends to flood so needs looking at. No washing machine which could be a problem if staying longer than a weekend. We didn’t order towels but they were on the beds which was a bonus
