Lovely stay in Margaret's cottage.. Great location off the beaten track - away from the fray but close enough to where you want to be in the Lakes. Margaret was lovely too - low key but friendly and had we needed advice etc I'm sure she would have been willing to help.

Margaret the owner of the cottage is absolutely lovely.. She met us on arrival and when a bulb blew she promptly came round and provided us with a spare. Cottage is ideally situated for Keswick, roughly a 20-25 minute drive away. If you stay at the Granary you really should take a trip into Ireby and the local pub. We ate there on our last night and were greeted with a warm welcome and the food is lovely. Although the Granary is advertised as having WiFi none of our party could connect as the signal was too weak. This wasn’t a problem as such as we didn’t come away to spend our time on the internet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Granary and enjoyed meeting Smokey the donkey in the field out back.

Very well equipped cottage in a quiet part of the Lake District.. Very convenient for walking in the Northern fells. Owner was very helpful when there was a power cut. Chocolate cake which was there when we arrived was most appreciated.

The cottage was very well presented.. Stunning views and easy access to the northern and western lakes and surrounding areas. The owner Mrs Crooks was very welcoming and helpful, nothing was too muck trouble for her. There were beautiful views of the fells from the kitchen door and the lounge French windows. A very pleasant and relaxing holiday. The cottage was very clean and well equipped with all we needed for our stay.
