Both Alison and Steve were really friendly and approachable.. We were left to our own devices but they made it clear that if we did need anything they would be there to help. Steve even text me on the day I was arriving to let me know about the local roadworks and told me the best way to get to the cottage to avoid any hassle. The cottage is in an ideal location for access to both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lakes. It was very peaceful and quiet, would definitely recommend.

Another wonderful and relaxing holiday in this lovely, romantic, spotlessly clean and very cosy little cottage, with fast wifi for those of us who have to do some work. Very professional and friendly hosts, always welcoming and helpful, but also professional and respectful of guests' privacy. We've stayed at The Potting Shed several times now and are always delighted. Ideal location for visiting Lakeland, Morecambe Bay, Howgills, Kendal and also the Yorkshire Dales. Good selection of supermarkets close by in Carnforth and also only a little further afield in Lancaster and Kendal. A perfect holiday - lovely, clean cottage in excellent condition; one of the very best we have sampled. Our thanks again to Steve, Alli & Aaron. We'll definitely be back!

Mr Clark, August 2020

We received a lovely email prior to arrival with all the instructions on how to access the cottage.. Upon arrival the cottage was clean, warm and exactly as advertised. we enjoyed a lovely stay over Christmas and the cottage was 0wrfect for our needs and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area. We bought a bird feeder along with us (as we had seen a previous comment about lack of a feeder and we are avid bird lovers ) and it was over run with bird life, so maybe this is something the owner could add but apart from that it was faultless. thank you Steve and Allison.

My Wife and I stayed at The Potting Shed with our 6 month old baby and had a fantastic experience. When we arrived, we were met by the owner and given a guided tour of the cottage, which was in pristine condition and had all of the creature comforts and a few added luxuries for good measure. Despite the property being situated with the grounds of the owners house, at no point did we feel that we were being over looked or had a lack of privacy. Overall, we had a cracking break in a lovely cottage that was perfect for exploring the Southern Lakes, Yorkshire Dales and the coast.
