    Only problem we had was the road up to the accommodation it self was very bumpy and quite a difficult drive if you were a new/nervous driver.

    Absolutely loved the property, the perfect size for the two of us. Beds were very comfy, always very warm and the kitchen worked great. A smart tv is a nice bonus most places don’t have and decent size too. The shower and hot water both worked really well, owners very friendly with lovely friendly cats too. Overall a really lovely accommodation and would stay again

    We booked two holiday cottages; one for a single adult and one for four adults. Everyone was delighted with everything. The cottages are comfortable, clean and offer all the facilities you could wish for. Jean and Claire who run the farm and the cottages are wonderful hosts. The location is superb if you like beautiful scenery, a bit of isolation from everyday life and the challenge of driving over the fells and up a long farm track to get there.

    It was a very clean comfortable well appointed property. We were able togo out the door on a walk. The property is maintained to a very high standard. The host is professional and responsive. We highly recommend it is a quieter area than the upper Lakes District. A gem

    The 1/4 mile drive is a bit rough and it's wise not to rush up and down it, but select a path of least pot holes. This can be done.

    Lovely quiet location. Good for exploring the southern lakes and other attractions in the area. A couple of walks from the farm included in the information pack, including one down to Broughton in Furness with it's lovely square. There is a shared lawn to the back of the property with plenty of benches. Jean and Claire helped us out when we realised we had not packed some items, for which we were very grateful.

    It was a nuisance that the Wi-Fi kept on failing "connected but couldn't configure IP" for some hours. This needs fixing/upgrading, as most mobile phone signals will not be available here. If you have a small front wheel drive car watch out for the couple of steep hairpin bends on the way up the farm drive with the loose gravel. Double bed mattress was slightly small and uncomfortable, if you are two large persons.

    If you want scenery and open fields in a secluded location this is a great cottage to stay in (for Woodmans three bedrooms).

    the Wi-Fi didn’t work at all so we had to go internet free for the stay which was good for our mental health but made it hard to communicate with family. the pillows on the bed were also very uncomfortable but other than that everything was brilliant!

    the farm was very remote so it was very quiet to sleep and there wasn’t anyone around. the place was warm and cosy and all the kitchenware was spotless with fully working appliances which you don’t usually find when staying in places like this. the place had everything you could need and it was easy to park directly outside the room.

    Only one small thing we would say with the Stable Cottage is maybe better lighting over the sink area in the bathroom for shaving

    On arrival it was just perfect, so quiet with breathtaking scenery, The Stable Cottage had everything we needed, there was lots of walks and places to visit within easy reach by car.... We recommend The Black Cock pub in Broughton in Furness, hospitality and food were amazing and there is also a lovely walk along the old unused railway there too.

    The quality of the driveway up to the house does need some improvement. It's fine if you are on a tractor, but not great for normal cars suspension.

    We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location! 2 mile drive down a single-lane road to reach the farm. Not bad if you go slowly and avoid the times when the cows are moved.
