Self Catering in Cumbria - Penrith

No fuel, no reschedule
Despite a severe lack of petrol here in the south, we contacted the owners to ask if we could reschedule to another date, as we had little to no prospect of making a 7 hour trip, except on fumes. Not a problem said the owners, there's plenty in Penrith and Carlisle. We were bowled over by the understanding and compassion! Thanks Daisy cottage, enjoy our holiday?..not as if we were asking for a refund, just to push forward our booking. It takes a lifetime to build a reputation and a second to lose it. Won?t be booking or recommending here again.

Very let down and disappointing?.won?t book again!
Wouldn?t book here again. Was recommended by friends living locally, but wish we?d have taken advice to book with a more understanding and accommodating host!! The reviews definitely don't reflect our experience. Not sure a 1 rating does it justice?? Perhaps they did us a favour so we could book somewhere else?..

Lovely little Lake District cottage
We stayed at Daisy Cottage for 3 nights, really enjoyed our short break, booked by our son in law for us. Owner Linda is very welcoming and friendly. The cottage was very well furnished, with all you need, and comfortable. The setting is great, very quiet, just sheep and lambs for neighbours! Penrith is nearby for any shops and soon, eating indoors! We loved being near to Grasmere, Keswick, Ullswater and Buttermere, all of which we visited. I?m sure we'll be back sometime. I?ve already given details to a friend!

Daisy cottage lacking comfort unfortunately..
Had high hopes about Daisy Cottage but the comfort element let the cottage down. Lovely location, so quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed the area. Nice kitchen and dining table, tv etc. But very uncomfortable sofa bed to sit on and this was the only settee furniture. Hard ply wood under the cushions. A proper, comfortable settee is needed as this was awful. The bed was extremely soft and creaky and the mattress past it's best. No good if you have back issues as no support. These 2 elements are essential to comfort when you are there for a week. No soft furnishings provided as told this was regulations for Covid but surely cushion covers can be laundered. Only 2 knives and forks provided. Again told this was due to Covid deep cleaning. We were given an extra egg cup each, when requested, as only 1 each provided. No extra cutlery provided so make you take your own and any soft furnishings for your own comfort.

Wonderful place to relax and recharge
Just back from a four night break with my Husband at Daisy Cottage. I have to say the place was just perfect. Linda and Philip are most excellent hosts. The cottage has everything you need and more and on top of that it is spotlessly clean. We ended our trip with a wonderful breakfast next door at The Ginney Guest House - I didn't eat again until the evening!!! Thank you once again both for a most excellent stay.
