The cottage was fabulous for the 8 of us. It was beautifully presented and so spacious with our own bathrooms! The location was amazing and the river in spate was thrilling.

The children also had a great time.

Your recommendations were excellent. The Farmers Arms was very good ( a local pub with delicious food) but our favourite without a doubt was the Manor House Inn. We have never seen such enormous Yorkshire puddings for Sunday lunch! All 8 of us enjoyed the meal.

We will certainly use Holiday Cottages Cumbria again if this is the standard we can expect – Gordon Ferguson, Bearsden, East Dunbartonshire

“This cottage was perfect for our final 5 days in England. So peaceful and relaxing to sit by the river and hear the sound of running water.

Exceeded our expectations and if we visit England, we will stay here again!!” – John Donovan, USA

Hi Simon,

Just returned from week at Sawmill Cottage. Just a few lines to say how much we enjoyed our stay.

The cottage is really lovely, well laid out and well stocked with all one needs to self cater.

The location is beautiful, it must be great to sit on the riverside bench in the warmer weather with a chilled glass of wine and watch the river on its journey, to be fair it wasn’t bad in February.

All of the showers were excellent with a non-stop supply of hot water.

The Wilson Arms at Torver was a welcome warm pub serving really nice food, and plenty of it.

The cottage is beautiful and well worth a visit, it caters for all and is so welcoming. It was a joy to stay there.

Thanks for our visit

Tom and Elaine Cavanagh

“Amazing cottage in an ideal location”

A group of 7 visited for my wife’s 50th birthday celebrations.

The cottage was furnished to a very high standard with extremely comfy beds and excellent en-suite facilities.

The living area and kitchen were both very large and could easily accommodate 8 guests. Both have log burners which kept the cottage very warm and cosy.

Although we didn’t use them due to the time of year, the garden and veranda from the master bedroom are an added bonus for anyone visiting in the warmer months.

The cottage is in a lovely remote location overlooking the river but is within walking distance of Coniston water. There are also a number of larger towns that are only a fairly short distance by car (Ulverston, Bowness etc).

We would definitely hope to return in the future – Craig Copeland, Knypersley,  Staffordshire
