    Liked everything about it, very quiet and peaceful, could hear and see the birds. The location is fairly central to Cockermouth and Keswick. We loved Mirehouse too, definitely worth a visit and that is close by.

    A quiet little village in the north of the Lake District far enough away from the main towns of Keswick, etc. to enable you to enjoy the peace of the Lake District without the crowds. Some nice pubs in and around the village where you can experience the local atmosphere and mix with the locals. Best to have a car to explore the areas around the village.

    Covers a Friday on an outward joyride <500 miles and an inward of similar distance on the following Monday. Allocated a large room at £119 on Friday and a noticeably smaller one on our return on the Monday at a rate of £129 - no explanation. The hotel allows dogs in dining areas and it was overrun, one customer had 3 dogs, all filthy. Hotel should allow in one area only

    Good food, good beer and some nice wines. Friendly staff.

    Good food, good beer and some nice wines. Friendly staff. My room was a little overpriced for what it was (a small double) would be very cramped if two people sharing, but was adequate for the nights stay I needed. I travelled down from Scotland on my way home to London and stopped on the way overnight just to get a dinner and some rest. The room was in front of a shared entrance so could be noisy and the other guest rooms were close so could occasionally hear talking and general noise. The window opens up onto the road and the car park opposite so can also get noisy if guests arrive or leave. The location of the premises is perfect for access to walks and the lakes.

    Although in a rural location, in about 30 mins drive you can be in Carlisle or by the sea at Maryport, and in Keswick or Cockermouth even sooner. The gardens at New Park Farm were lovely, and we enjoyed watching the hens, sheep and cows in the surrounding fields; the upstairs lounge had good views of the nearby hills. The bedroom was pleasantly cool on warm days (in July). There were several nice touches: we were very pleased with the pint of milk in the fridge, and the bottle of wine, chocolates, and fresh flowers on the dining table.

    Excellent location on the flank of Skiddaw and a short drive to Keswick. Ideal location for the North lakes and surrounding area. We liked the farm environment and everyone was super helpful. The interior of our room was exceptional. The window was a bit small but as we spent most of our time out doors it isn't really an issue. We were able to plug in our EV for charging.

    Good location for exploring nearby Keswick and surrounding areas. Stunning views from the back of the property. The cottage has great potential and could be a fantastic little holiday let but unfortunately all the negatives listed below really let it down. Hosts please take note because it has the potential to be great with more care and attention from you!

    This hotel is located in a quiet location close to Sale Fell. Lovely room, clean and tidy. The shower was fantastic, especially the handshower was like a high pressure cleaner. View on lovely maintained garden in true ‘geoffrey smith’ style. The walk up Sale Fell which starts from the hotel is worth walking. The views from the lop are really awesome.

    Very comfortable room on the edge of Bassenthwaite lake. Generous tea tray provided with homemade biscuits. Flowers on the windowsill were a lovely touch. We made use of the fridge to keep breakfast & picnic foodstuffs. The luxury shower gel, soap & hand lotion were also appreciated.

    We have visited for years since our honeymoon. It has changed and lacks the finesse and detail like fresh flowers and a lounge to sit in which most hotels have. We understand the changes are needed for it to survive and be economically viable.
