Rum bush cottage is a wonderful cottage set in an idyllic location.. It is in the ideal location for total rest and recuperation. The cottage was absolutely spotless on arrival with all the amenities required and the hot tub was clean and maintained regularly throughout our stay. As you sit in the hot tub you can look out onto views of the Cumbrian countryside. The locals are friendly and happy to offer advice and there are sheep literally outside the front door. We would absolutely recommend Rum bush cottage as a holiday destination and we will definitely be returning.

I thoroughly thoroughly thoroughly recommend this cottage! !! When the world began opening up from lockdown... We went here for a week instead with our 2 children age 7 and 3. We absolutely loved it. The most idyllic place with stunning views and just so peaceful. It had an enclosed garden but we went out the little back gate and played in the fields and explored.. This was our little evening walk every evening! The hot tub was perfect however the screen didn't work so couldn't see the temperature and we wanted to lower it for our children. Eve kindly left the thermometer so we just used this instead! Beautiful walks nearby. Mr Wharton was great, he rang on check out to say not to rush and the cleaner would be with us slightly later! I left my lattee machine there and couldn't get through to Sykes at all... He kindly posted it back to me. We would 100% go again and I don't often say that. Usually we can't afford things like this but with the schools being closed we could go outside of school holidays! It was so needed as we had both been working through lockdown and managing our children too... What a way to unwind. Thank you so much!!

The cottage is so lovely and cosy and the hot tub is a perfect treat at the end of a day walking.. It is in the middle of nowhere and is a good 30 minute to the nearest pub (which has amazing food) but it’s just what we wanted. Great walks straight from the door of the cottage and the log fire is great too!

Storage in rooms very limited, so we barely unpacked.. Otherwise a lovely place with a selection of superb walks from the door. The kids loved it, particularly the upside down layout and the Hot Tub! Warnings. The valley and high moors can be very windy so bring warm kit. The descent through High Cup Nick is not for the faint-hearted!

This being our 3rd time at the cottage we knew what to expect.. Everything was good.Cottage very cosy and hottub lovely and relaxing. Could do with mop so kitchen floor can be done after hottub been used. Would be nice if there was bucket or hose outside so muddy boots can be cleaned but other than that lovely x

The cottage could do with more instructions as on arrival I couldn’t turn the oven on.. Also the hot tub wasn’t looked at from fri to Monday and that was only because I rang and said I wasn’t happy at it been left without chlorine etc. The house is full of spiders to the point I couldn’t sleep but I am very frightened, I realise not much can be done about this. The lady next door looks after the cottage but was away most of our stay. The owner was very helpful and came as soon as he realised we were left alone. Excellent facilities however as we were two couples staying together it was awkward. With only 1 shower the main bathroom only has a bath, needs a shower fitting over the bath. The main bed and bedroom is very very small and the second bedroom is 2 singles which didn’t suit our situation. Was in nice location.

The cottage and its views were more beautiful than we had expected.. The wood burner heated the cottage beautifully, the jacuzzi on the deck was clean, comfortable, very warm and afforded the user the most incredible views towards the western lakes. Eva, the housekeeper next door, was very kind, welcoming and kept the cottage beautifully. The Wartons, whom own the farm, we’re very friendly & we were treated to the evening sheep roundup using sheepdogs. We would definitely love to return. Please pass on our thanks.

It met and exceeded all of our expectations in cleanliness and location.. Local village of dufton has a stunning little pud with a added bonus of being dog friendly along with a lovely cafe that is even open on Sundays. Thank you so much for a lovely holiday.

This cottage was visited by my family and I during early April 2018.. The lady in the adjoining cottage (is very nice) meets and greets and basically answers any questions during stay. during your stay. The cottage is on the doorstep of a working farm which we enjoyed (seeing the farmers and livestock). The nearest pub is a rural 30 min walk. Nearby Appleby (3 miles) is a beautiful spotless town which is a must to visit. We also visited Penrith which is also very nice (15 miles). The local people are very friendly in all nearby areas. The cottage itself is very good, modern inside yet traditional feel. The living area is on the first floor with the 2 bedrooms on the ground (1 with en suite) with bathroom. The standard of the kitchen/tv appliances is high e.g. cooker, dishwater. Obviously the hot-tub was an important reason for our stay and we were not disappointed. Excellent scenery during use. Only minor issue was the dog or livestock droppings in the secure garden (chihuahua exercise). Previous cottage users should really be more responsible. However, an excellent stay and cottage. Of course we'll return!!!!!

We were unlucky and suffered the worst storm since 1960's and were snowed in.. We had to stay an extra 3 nights. I can not fault the cottage. It was weather tight, so warm that we couldn't really use the log burner. We had the most comfirtable and warm week of relaxation as we were unable to get out. The caretaker and local farmers were absoltely amazing. Digging us out. Fetching us milk on the quad bike, giving us food and baking our children cupcakes. Nothing was too much trouble for them all. We were kept updated on the lane out. When leaving we became stuck on the lane and they worked hard on getting us out. They even checked up on us to see we arrived home safely. AMAZING service. We shall go again and hopefully get out to see Cumbria next time.
