Guests say

Nuthatch cottage in Cumbria is highly praised for its cleanliness, peaceful location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped space, the enclosed garden for dogs, and the thoughtful welcome packs. While some mention minor issues with pillows and cooking space, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning return visits.

Reviews consistently mention that the cottage is immaculately clean and well-maintained, contributing to a welcoming and fresh arrival experience.

The property is celebrated for its peaceful setting, ideal for relaxation and dog walking. Its proximity to the Lake District, Scotland, and local attractions like Hadrian's Wall is appreciated, despite some remarks about its remoteness and associated driving.

The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the warm atmosphere and cosy furnishings. A few guests suggest improvements regarding the bed's pillows and the softness of the mattress, indicating room for enhancement in this area.

Facilities are generally well-received, with special mentions of the welcome packs and garden. Some guests note limited space for cooking and food storage, and a suggestion for a fly zapper indicates a minor issue with flies.

Guests frequently express gratitude for the welcome packs, which include items like wine, milk, and fruit. It's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, are offered at the discretion of the owners and may not be a standard inclusion for all stays.

    Hosts were very accommodating and found it generally a serene environment. The welcome package was delightful too.

  • Karen

    Perfect place to get some peace and quiet away from the normal stresses of life! Really thoughtful welcoming touches - tea, coffee, wine, biscuits, milk etc. Though we did not see the owners we knew that they were nearby if we needed them. The accommodation was very cosy, the reclining chair was extra comfy and the shower was perfect! No complaints at all would happily recommend to friends and family.

    Took our 2 dogs and they loved it too. Very clean and well equipped. Need a car to get around the area but you do most places. Would highly recommend
