Self Catering in Cumbria - Newlands

The most beautiful place to stay
Stayed here for a couple of weeks through spring and can't wait to come back!! Dog friendly, clean and fresh rooms. Well stocked kitchen and the log fire made the evenings really cosy and homely. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. I saw the bad review about the beds but I thought they were super comfy. The cottage has safe parking and you can walk straight onto the fells for gorgeous walks such as the Newlands round. Its just set back enough that you don't get the masses of tourists on the same paths. Have already booked again for next year. I've attached some pictures from the walks we did from the peaks next to the cottage.

Stunning area but tired cottage
Arrived to one of the most stunning areas, the cottage however was disappointing-no soap in the cottage at all to be able to wash our hands before unpacking, lots & lots of flies. The beds were extremely hard to the extent we left earlier than planned. 3 glasses for the 4 of us. Beautiful area but the cottage could be so much better. Definitely 5* location but not 5* accommodation.

Remote cottage holiday
We wanted a remote cottage so that we could enjoy walking straight from the door. The Hayloft is in a wonderful setting with fabulous views from the windows. It was clean and very comfortable. We arrived late due to heavy snow and a log fire was waiting for us. Lambs were being born. Birds constantly visited the numerous feeders. We were made very welcome and John helped us out when our breakdown company failed to arrive until six hours after they were contacted. We intend to return.

The location of the Hayloft is very special, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and we were able to completely relax, not having mobile phone reception was a real bonus, we intend to return there.

Excellent Secluded Holiday Cottage
Just returned from a fabulous week with friends. Excellent accommodation, ideally situated for walking, cycling, or just relaxing. Spacious Sitting Room, well fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with en-suites. Oh, and a very handy store room where you can put your bikes etc. John & Fiona live in the working farm next door and they are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Some people might regard the location as a bit remote but if you look at the map before you book you should know what to expect ie. it's quiet and secluded with picturesque, easy walks to Littletown tea room or Swinside pub. We parked our cars by the cottage when we arrived and didn't move them until we left a week later. Walk to Hawes End and catch the bus to Buttermere etc or the launch on Derent Water to Keswick or elsewhere on the lake. Plenty of nearby Wainwright hills for more serious walkers. We'll be back. Thanks again Fiona & John PS - hope you enjoyed the party on Friday night.... Ruth, Dave, Linda & John
