Csodás ház, csodás kilátással
Először jártam a környéken, nem tudtam mire számítsak, de ennél megfelelőbbet el sem tudok képzelni. A ház mindent tud, amire egy olyan csapat vágyik, akik kifejezetten kerülni szeretnék a túristaközpontokat. Kiválóan felszerelt, kényelmes, tágas. Mi nyolcan voltunk ott.

Blissful retreat
Spectacular setting for a complete break. Remote (as described!) with a good number of walks from the doorstep. The house has wonderful character, and a lot more space inside than the listing perhaps suggests. It's adjacent to a working farm, but if anything that was a reassurance given how remote the property is (and there was no noise or any other intrusion - you can't even see the farmyard from the property). Only advice - while the house is wonderfully well equipped (as you'd expect from a home!) take *everything* you'll need with you, as it's a long trip for supplies. I'm thinking things like cooking oil, fuel for the fire etc. If you're unsure if it's there, either assume not, or ask Candy - her communication was excellent throughout. If you want to unplug, this is the perfect place to do it.

Sojourn in West Lakeside District
We had a lovely time staying in this large and well-apportioned cottage. It is located on a rolling fell with only a few working farms within the close vicinity (closest town is a 10 minute drive away.) There is a spectacular view from the back yard and we spent many mornings and early evenings just watching sheep roam surrounded by distant mountains. There are quite a few great activities (including a not-to-be-missed trip to Wastwater Lake, one of the most beautiful views in all of England) Muncaster Castle and the seaside, within a half hour's drive, but many of the more popular sites (Windermere Lake, Derentwater, Beatrix Potter's Home, Wordsworth's Dove Cottage, etc.) are over an hour away -- at least for those unfamiliar with driving on local routes outside the highways. There are also some beautiful local hikes near the cottage. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a quiet, bucolic setting who doesn't mind a bit of driving to reach many of the tourist sites. The house was very clean and well stocked with basics and there are some convenient options for groceries and other necessities. All in all, I highly recommend the cottage for those looking for a quiet and visually inspiring location.

Fantastic stay at High Ground Cottage
We loved this cottage! The views are absolutely amazing and I only gave good for the online marketing as I don't feel the online advertising does it justice. One of our party who is quite a critical person reckons it has the best views in the UK! The road up to the cottage is also very exciting as it is so narrow and isolated with sheep wandering about - it's great! The place is clean (apart from one or two spiders' webs!) and beautifully presented with lots of fantastic books to peruse. Our dogs loved the place and the garden is enclosed and we have retrievers so it was fine but if you have a small dog they may be able to get through the fence so beware as there are sheep everywhere but this really wasn't a problem as you just keep the dogs on leads. The walk to the waterfall is well worth doing, it's an amazing waterfall. There are lots of activities around and it is in a great position for Wastwater and other lakes. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage. There were a couple of bulbs not working but we didn't say anything as it really was not any problem as there were plenty of lights plus a dodgy kitchen chair. To be honest, it's so lovely, you could spend all week at the cottage and not need to go anywhere else, especially if you are an artist or photographer! We had both in our party. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Remote Heaven With Views To Die For
High Ground Cottage is a very well presented property with everything you need for a comfortable, cozy stay - - short or long. The kitchen is fully equipped, so if you cook, you’ll love it. Given the remote location (peace & quiet, ah!) you’re probably better off eating in, but there are various pubs, inns and restaurants not too far distant. The views out the back of the house are like a painting… ideal Cumbrian countryside, with nearby mountains, hills, trees, stone walls, green paddocks and sheep dotted everywhere. There are some great walks virtually just outside the front and back doors. Definitely recommend a walk to Devoke Water and an amble up a nearby hill for 360 degree views of the mountains and the sea. The house was perfectly clean and, should you need it, the heating system and insulation are wonderful (no cold draughts!). Really, everything you need for a great getaway… remote, peaceful, well set-up, spacious and the host was relaxed, easy to contact and support (not needed) readily available. What more could you want? Loved it!
