The cottage was a perfect base for our walking holiday.. The owners were helpful with local information and were very welcoming which was a bonus. We should be happy to go again.

The hosts were so welcoming even in these troubled times.. The cottage was well equipped, supremely clean and we wanted for nothing. We arrived on a cool day, but in entering the cottage had a lovely warm welcome. Beds were made up and there were plenty of towels. Judith and Fred introduced themselves over the garden gate due to social distancing and although we saw them on several occasions, they were not intrusive. Would love to visit this place again. The cottage is quiet with lovely views from the front of the property and has a lovely little conservatory, there was plenty of wildlife to see as, well as cows and sheep. Can’t fault the write up about this property.

Lovely owners and a very comfortable cottage.. Our second time here and again we didnt want to return home. The cottage is warm and comfortable and has everything that you need during your stay. Judith and Fred are very approachable and friendly and were on site if anything was needed but left us alone if we were alright. Would really recomend this cottage for a stay in the beautiful yorkshire countryside.

We had a really relaxing holiday at Elm cottage.. The owners Fred and Judith are lovely people and very helpful. Our little Border Collie can be nervous but she settled really well. We enjoyed walks from the door and trips out to various places including watching a steam train go over the Ribbleshead Viaduct and a great walk in a hidden Nature Reserve. The cottage is really comfortable and has everything you need for the week. The Co -op at Kirkby Stephen is recommended for a food shop.

This is a lovely little cottage with everything on hand to meet your needs.. Although it snowed rather heavily at the beginning of our week we were lovely and cosy and enjoyed the wood burning stove. The cottage is perfectly situated for visiting the Lake District, the Scottish Borders and the Yorkshire Dales (we did all three). The small garden is very secure for visiting dogs and the conservatory is a real suntrap. We really enjoyed our stay at Elm Cottage and will definitely return.

Mr Reynolds

Getting away from the day to day hustle of daily life, The cottage was as it stated on the web site, The owners contacted us re-guarding key collection end even left us a nice present in the fridge, which was nice.. Overall a very nice clean and well equipped cottage.

Miss Crane

February 2018

Lovely holiday.. We got blocked in by the snow as it was a few foot high and snow drifts were huge. Couldn't get out in the car for 3 days. The cottage is a little out of the way, no pub or shop in walking distance and we needed essentials from the shop. Also, the double mattress very hard so I'd recommend taking a mattress topper. Shower is amazing and we were warm and cosy each day. Overall it was a lovely holiday and got to use our snow sledges so very happy!
