Guests say
Hayloft Cottage is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and peaceful location.

While some minor issues are mentioned, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously commend the cottage for its cleanliness, with multiple guests noting it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'incredibly clean'. This suggests a high standard of hygiene and care.
The location is frequently described as beautiful and peaceful, with easy access to nature and local attractions. The views and wildlife add to the location's appeal, although one mention of a tight parking area slightly impacts the score.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of a 'lovely view from the living room', 'large and comfy bed', and 'lovely, comfy sofas'. However, one guest noted a disturbance from a droning motor at night, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being well-equipped and having a play area for children. Some guests noted the lack of small essentials and recycling facilities, and a mix-up in emergency contact numbers, indicating room for improvement.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the warm decorations for a Christmas stay and the provision of complimentary items. While such gestures are appreciated, guests should note that these are not guaranteed for every stay.

It's a farm cottage so don't expect streetlights & WiFi streaming. Upside-down layout takes a little getting used but permits a splendid view. Walking access to Howgills & limestone plateau.

It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our weeks holiday. It was very relaxing to sit outside on an evening watching the bats and listening to the sheep. A great base location for exploring the surrounding areas, with lots to do. The children enjoyed the play area too.

The area was so peaceful and we had a lovely view from the living room. We found a couple of lovely walks especially the Smardale nature reserve.
