“Hi Simon,
As expected we have had the most amazing few days walking, non more so than yesterday over Brown Pike and Dow Crag and today doing a circular round Wast Water. The views from Whin Rigg and Illgill Head were just amazing.
Thanks also for the heads up about the Manor House Inn at Oxen Park (1 hours walk or 11 minutes drive). The food was just divine!!!
Very much looking forward to our next adventure.
Hopefully the lakes will come out of tier 4 soon and you’ll be back in business.
Very best wishes for 2021
Cheers
Graham

“Brilliant pet-friendly cottage!”
We had a fantastic stay. Great family-friendly cottage or for a group of friends.
The cottage was extremely clean, well-stocked for self-catering (plates/glasses/pots/pans etc). We enjoyed the attention to detail for small things, like a designated dog shower! Will most definitely be back and look forward to checking out Simons’s other properties in the local area – Hannah McElnea

“Fantastic cottage”
A fantastic cottage, located in an excellent place.
Spotlessly clean on arrival. Loads of space and well-appointed kitchen. Bedrooms have all got en-suite. The outside garden is very private with seating for 8 on the deck area and loads of room for dogs.
The main lawn area is very large and leads to the River Crake at the bottom. Love the bench overlooking the river to drift away with.
A real gem of a find. Can’t thank Simon enough for all his help – Merv Salway, Darlington County Durham

“Beautiful cottage tucked away in the countryside”
This is the second cottage we have stayed in via Simon. His cottages are always set in stunning locations and are furnished to a very high, comfortable standard.
Everything was as we had hoped it would be- he even went one step further by adding a chilled bottle of white wine with a lovely welcome note for us.
Sawmill Cottage is perfectly located- in the tranquil countryside right next to a river. The cottage itself is huge, well planned out, with a lovely patio and a garden. As it was mainly raining during our visit, we couldn’t use the barbecue but look forward to using it at our next stay. The rooms are spacious and the balcony adds to the charm.
All in all a perfect getaway- we couldn’t have visited a better place after staying home (during Covid-19 lockdown) for so long. Thank you Simon! We will surely visit again – Pallavi, Hayes, Middlesex

This is our second visit to one of Simon’s properties and we had an amazing time.
Charcoal house and Sawmill Cottage are perfect getaways, we will certainly come back again next year!
Perfect location, very clean and wonderful decor.
