We booked Brackenrigg for a family Christmas and it fit the bill perfectly. Lovely open plan living area was ideal and the dining table sat 11 for Christmas lunch. We had also booked one of the studio cottages for an additional two guests and there was room for us all to get together in the main house. Owners were unobtrusive,... More

My husband and I stayed in Brocklebeck Cottage for 4 nights as I was working in Carlisle either side of a weekend and we thought it would be a better option than Carlisle. How right we were! The cottage is lovely and cosy and extremely well appointed. Our hosts Judy and Harry had thought of everything and it really was... More

We stayed here with our baby and stayed in Bleaberry cottage which is a barn conversion. It was immaculate, warm and cosy with good amenities and a very friendly welcome from the owner and his dog. The views were breathtaking and it's a good location, just a few miles out of Keswick with walks straight out the door. There is... More

smelly beds and grubby surfaces. When issues raised with owners they defend everything and see it as your fault if you do not enjoy your stay. Just check out the tone of responses to complaints left on trip advisor. wouldn't go back.

Judy and Harry were very friendly and accommodating and were willing to provide any advice necessary to enjoy the area. The accommodation had a large kitchen so you do... More

In June 2011, a group of my friends and I stayed in High Rigg for a weekend of Lakeland activities and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were 8 of us in total, although the cottage never really felt that crammed. Facilities in general were very good; it was very clean and nicely presented, and the general standard of furnishing was high.... More

Our weekend at Brackenrigg was fantastic, beautiful scenery, fantastic accommodation. The owners couldn't have been any more accommodating. The setting itself is enough to go for and the studio we stayed in was perfect for a cost getaway.

High Rigg has been really well thought out. Really comfortable open plan ground floor layout with three big sofas, so everyone can sit together, the kitchen is slightly recessed away from the main living space - but still part of it - so if it's your turn to cook, you're not missing out on the chat. Large dining table. Really... More

We stayed at High Rigg for a few days - it was just about perfect, lovely open plan property, clean and modern. The welcome was friendly and the location was great.
