The Bothy

Stayed for a long weekend with my husband. Property big enough for a family. Beautifully furnished & equipped with everything you could need. Situated on a working farm in the middle of the countryside. The Bothy caters for a fabulously relaxing holiday/break a stones throw away from Carlisle & Penrith, with lots to explore in the Lake District. The hosts Richard & Alison are lovely & Alison is very helpful with any queries you may have. Would highly recommend.

This is a lovely barn in a great location for exploring the lakes.

This is a lovely barn in a great location for exploring the lakes. The views surrounding the property are great. We enjoyed our stay, however, we found the beds to be very uncomfortable so did not sleep well during the stay. It would be lovely to have some lamps/floor lamps in the lounge to soften the atmosphere instead of bright overhead lighting. The hot tub was lovely to return to after a day in the lakes too, but we did feel a little uncomfortable with it being directly overlooked by the barn above. On the whole it was a great stay in a great place and the owners seemed very friendly. Would recommend. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Loved our 4 night stay at The Bothy. Couldn’t fault the property in any way. Well equipped with everything you could possibly need, a home from home feel. The location is very remote and the local amenities are a drive away but that was part of the reason we booked. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax. The hosts, Alison and Richard, are lovely and very welcoming. Would recommend and would book to stay again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We thoroughly enjoyed or few days staying at the Bothy. The accommodation is very cosy and comfortable throughout and very well equipped. The wet floor shower room was ideal for my brother who is disabled and further enhanced by Alison being able to provide a shower chair for his use. Alison and Richard were helpful and responsive to any request we made. The icing on the cake was having the use of a hot tub which we all looked forward to on each day of our stay. Thank you.

This is the second time in 6 months that we’ve visited the Bothy.

This is the second time in 6 months that we’ve visited the Bothy. We went for a short break in February but a whole week this time. The owners are lovely, nothing is too much trouble & the cottage has everything you could need and then more, even down to a pint of milk in the fridge, tea & coffee in the kitchen & a packet of biscuits to welcome you!! After a bad experience on a holiday park, we wanted something much more peaceful.....& that’s what we found at this beautiful, tranquil place. Our son has made friends on the farm and been able to enjoy herding sheep & checking cows. The zip wire has provided many hours of fun!! Penrith is a 20 minute drive away and there is a retail park just off the motorway with an Aldi, Iceland and Home Bargains should the need arise. There are lots of things to do within about a 30-45 minute drive. Carlisle is also about 20 minutes away with lots of restaurants, a Vue cinema & obviously the Castle!! The kitchen is very well equipped with a dishwasher, fridge freezer, washer/dryer, microwave and all the usual pots & pans. There is even a slow cooker, panini press & a hand blender!! Although we didn’t need the heating this time it was lovely and warm in February. The beds are lovely & comfortable & both bathrooms have towels & toiletries. It’s a lovely peaceful location but a car is needed to see the local area. However the lanes are quiet enough to walk along and enjoy the scenery. We are already planning our next trip back, it’s everything we could possibly want from a holiday.

We had a relaxing break at The Bothy. Alison and her husband were on site if you needed anything. The kitchen is very well equipped, with every utensil you could possibly need. We stayed in each night and prepared Dinner with no hassle. My elderly mother stayed with us and slept in the twin bedroom. Unfortunately, she found the family bathroom to be inconvenient, as she had to walk through the Lounge and Kitchen to take a shower. We knew the location of The Bothy was remote when booking, with very little amenities around. This was not a problem for us. Very rural and beautiful setting.

Fantastic holiday home

A beautiful barn conversion in a relaxing setting. The accommodation is well equipped and comfortable. The wet rooms are excellent for anyone with mobility problems. Alison and Richard are welcoming hosts and are on hand if you have any queries. A great base for touring the Lake District. Would recommend and would stay here again.
