Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Nice cottage but everything smelt of damp on our return
Nice facilities and cottage but unfortunately this spoilt by the fact that there was a strong smell of damp that pervaded everything. The smell was very strong throughout the stay and then all clothes etc had to be washed on return, even those which had just been in cupboards, as the smell clung to everything. We all wanted to come home and have a really good shower and get rid of the smell. A real shame as everything else was very good.

Very enjoyable stay
The cottage was very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed a weeks stay in late May when the weather was excellent. Tried the local pub a couple of times and the food was very good.

Warm and welcoming
The cottage is beautifully kept and in a perfect spot for walking and cycling. Caldbeck village is delightful with much to see and do if the weather is wet and an excellent real ale pub in the next village of Heskett Newmarket. We look forward to returning and climbing some hills in the near future.

If it's not broke!
We had a lovely stay, the cottage could do with updating in terms of the cutlery and the drawer its kept in (loose handles and hard to open, generally a bit wonky)but new isn't necessarily better! comments of previous guests. Good clean bedding which is always a plus. Maybe the cleaning lady isn't paid enough, as the windows were grimy and I found sweet wrappers behind furniture when I vacuumed the lounge. I don't mind a bit of work even on holiday, its a change from my normal job! I even cleaned the glass in the lounge door. On a serious note, the cottage offered good accommodation and the barn/utility was a god send. Nice garden and dishwasher a godsend. Area was great and the village itself was charming, with some interesting features for us old fogey's 46 and 56. But still with more go than most in their 30's (Tongue in check)

Perfect - the setting, facilities and overall feel of the house was perfect
A few friends and I stayed here while on a mountain biking and walking holiday. The house was spotless, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom felt brand new! The kitchen was very well equipped and the lounge was perfect for relaxing in the evening. Sadly the weather was not good enough to sit outside, but the garden would be great for a BBQ with lovely views.
The location was ideal for walking and exploring, and there was a nice pub restaurant and convenience store more or less on the doorstep.
Can't recommend it enough!
