Tallentire Hall

A peaceful countryside retreat in the heart of beautiful surroundings, yet close enough to Cockermouth to keep you conne

Pros: It was cosy and well equipped with everything we needed.

Cons: The guests next door could be easily heard as the walls are quite thin but there’s nothing that can be done about that!

Very good

Pros: Excellent accomodation, spacious and very comfortable. Everything you could need with extra treats left for us

A perfect base for exploring the Lakes

Pros: Fantastic accommodation. Everything you could possibly want in terms of self catering equipment, all the furnishings and fittings are high quality. Could have happily moved in. Also everything you could ask for for our dog, happy pup.

Cons: Not a lot in the village so had to drive everywhere, but local town Cockermouth is only a few minutes away with supermarkets and lots of lovely independent shops and restaurants.

Pros: Beautiful property. Comfortable, well furnished and peaceful. Loved the firepit outside. Hosts very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Really catered for pet dogs too, with home made treats, blankets, shower.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable and spacious accommodation in such a lovely setting.

Pros: Beautiful setting, clean, comfortable and spacious accommodation. It had everything we needed for our family and dog!!

Comfortable, well-appointed, spacious accommodation ideal for a family gathering.

Pros: Ideal for a family gathering by hiring the Hayloft and Gamekeeper's cottage. Spacious enough for all adults to eat together in either cottage, and we also enjoyed eating in the sunshine on the patio around the fire pit at the Hayloft. Lovely grounds with facilities for outdoor games. Top quality furnishings, towels and bed linen.

Cons: Complex hob controls which we found difficult to use even following the manual, but we mastered it in the end. Pity there was no recycling facility - we took it all home to recycle.

Pros: A lovely house in a great location, 5 mins from local town and a stones throw from the lakes. Generous size king bedrooms. Fully stocked kitchen, provided different spices, eggs and even brownies from a local bakery! Space for 2 cars

Cons: The wifi in the master en-suite bedroom was a little weak but there are boosters in the other rooms so they are fine

A beautiful setting for a relaxing holiday and so dog friendly

Pros: The welcome pack was excellent; the equipment in the kitchen was just like being at home.

Pros: A great place to stay. Clean, warm and beautifully done inside. Ann and Martin were extremely welcoming. A peaceful escape in wonderful grounds that makes a perfect base to explore this lovely area. Also a friendly welcome in the local pub with great local beers.

Cons: Nothing! All was good 😎

Warm, welcoming and well equipped home. Dog welcome. Host on hand if needed. Highly recommended.

Pros: Dogs had their own wash room, shampoo, towels and doggie treats. Well equipped kitchen, comfy feel to the property, lovely location.
