Great location with the town of Ulverston only a mile away. The cottage had everything you needed although I think it would be a problem only having 4 mugs and 4 glass if there were 3 or 4 of you staying there. There is a zoo about 5 miles away and lots of lovely towns and villages to see (Windermere, Cartmel etc). Cumbria is a great place for foodies due to the number of AA rosette and Michelin standard places to eat. Walks galore and I would recommend a trip up to the Honister slate mine for the cavern climbing. Keswick town was only about 8 miles from Honister mine and had plenty of shops and cafes.

We booked the Eller Riggs cottage for a short break to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Every aspect of the visit was perfect. When we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely anniversary card and a bottle of bubbly. The cottage itself was stunning, finished to an exceptional standard with everything we needed. The location is perfect, just outside Ulverston, far enough out of town to feel remote but close enough for convenience. The scenery was breathtaking and we had amazing views from almost every window. Loretta and Keith live close by and could not do enough for us, Loretta was even kind enough to take some photos of us to treasure our visit. We will return to this gem of a location and cannot recommend it highly enough.

All we can say about this cottage is excellent! The peace and quiet was very nice; the people that own the cottage are very nice, and friendly. Ulverston is a very nice place to visit. There are so many pubs and the cottage had everything that you could possibly need, and the walk in shower was amazing. This is a must for people to visit.

This is a great place to stay, it has a good mixture of modern and traditional. The owners have giving it a lot of thought with all the little extras in the cottage and even left a nice bottle of wine. The owners are very nice people that respect your privacy but are all ways happy to help if they are needed. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone. Thank you for our stay

The location is beautiful and relaxing, the cottage really thoughtfully and pleasantly laid out for the comfort of the guests. You get the usual mix of a rustic location with the modern conveniences of a walk in shower, dishwasher and induction hob if you like these conveniences. For those who want to escape the hub bub of people and noise this is lovely quiet spot partly also because we couldn't get any phone reception although discovered there is wifi on our last day when we eventually got round to reading the helpful info book provided! We found the owners exceptionally considerate and welcoming without getting in the way. I've already re-booked for the same time next year.

First class accommodation. Great views, and easy to get to Coniston.

Everything was perfect. The owners were fantastic, and could not do enough for us. The cottage was amazing, the views were spectacular, and there was so many things to do. Cannot wait to go back!

The cottage was superb, everything about it was spot on. Very nice open space and brilliant for relaxing. The Cumbrian way passes right next to the cottage, and the walks are lovely. Underfloor heating was a joy, and the whole place had a very nice feel and vibe about it. Would go again next week if I could. The owners were very nice and friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay here in March. the views are beautiful and it was a real relaxing haven for us. be aware that the cottage is up quite high and access is by very narrow country roads, so driving is essential unless you are keen walkers, the cottage is right beside the cumbrian way, very enjoyable to walk. Ulverston town is not far and has some lovely pubs and restaurants. the owners of this cottage were attentive, chatty, friendly and asked if there was anything they could do to improve the cottage. they left us a very good bottle of red wine, which added to the relaxing holiday we needed.

What can I say, lovely holiday in a lovely cottage, need I say more? This holiday was booked for a first fathers day present for my husband from me and our 10 month old son, we love the lakes and all it has to offer so having such a lovely cottage to stay in was important to me, and that is what we got. Perfect.

This was a really lovely cottage, with excellent furnishings and lots of great little extras. The only thing to note is that the second bedroom is at the top of a steep spiral staircase and is open-plan (i.e. with no door)- so this may not be ideal for people with young children or those requiring more privacy. Otherwise, strongly recommended.
