Eden Valley Self Catering cottage, Little Treasure Cottage, Appleby-in-Westmorland, sleeps 4

Lovely Cottage Retreat
Having just returned from our weeks' break this wonderful property. Although the owners live nearby, the property feels really secluded. The Cottage is certainly not little, and is very spacious inside, our two Miniature Schnauzers had a great time playing in the hall and kitchen and running around the garden. The garden is not completely enclosed, but we did let the dogs out and they happily ran around the property and did not try to run away. There are cows and sheep in the adjacent field, but there is a fence on either side to stop any pets getting through. There is a both a family sized bathroom upstairs and a shower room downstairs. The kitchen is excellent and has everything you would require for a self catering holiday, e.g. fridge/freezer 50/50, microwave, electric oven, halogen hob and washing machine. The property has central heating and the temperature in each room can be controlled separately. We didn't need to use the heating or the wood burning stove, as the property was warm enough for us. The village is small, and although there are no shops, there are some nearby with a large Co-op in Kirkby Stephen and a smaller Co-op in Appleby. The Sandford Arms which is close by is lovely, we went there for Sunday lunch and it was very tasty. It is £12 for one course £14 for two courses and £16 for three courses. It is also dog friendly. What we loved the most is where the property is situated, it is in the Eden Valley, but is equidistantly placed between the Lakes, Yorkshire Dales and the Pennines. We will definitely visit again.

Dog friendliness
A great cottage, comfortable, cosy. Only problem was we were under the impression the property was closed off so we assumed our English Bull Terrier would have free access to an enclosed property. Not the case so we had to walk him on a leash at all times as he is a prey-driven breed. He would have spent the entire week chasing and killing chickens and sheep, who were roaming freely. A better description of the property ito dogs and enclosed property was required.

Fabulous
Amazing short break here. No idea why it's marketed as budget it's fab. Everything you need, spotlessly clean. We loved the fire and the window room. Will certainly return!

Lovely quiet house
Stayed for a week in July, booked through Airb&b. Superb location, handy for main A66 (5mins), half hour from Penrith & Kendal, easy travelling to Lakes & Yorkshire. House is modern, good facilities, park 100yds from house & walk down a path to the house. Nice secluded garden (dog friendly) with nice views over the countryside. Next to a farm so some 'rural' noises & smells. 5 miles to Kirby Stephen (best for groceries - Coop or Spar) & 5 to Appleby. Oodles to do in the area, we very much enjoyed our stay.
