This is great accommodation with a beautiful garden, perfectly located for walking holidays. Plenty space for me and my dog. Everything was clean, there is a well equipped kitchen.

And the garden is not dog escape proof. Having said that, an earth anchor is provided to tether your Houdini the dog. Hide

Small but perfectly formed. Had a wonderful stay at Ghyll Foot. The accommodation was immaculately clean, well equipped and really cosy. It even had a stash of hot water bottles for the colder months! Great location. We started our circular walk up Helvellyn from the front door!

A beautiful 1930s cottage with loads of character and in a terrific setting amongst a typical Lake-district setting. It was comfortable and warm with good beds and bath/shower facilities. And the fells started just outside the back door!

We loved staying at Ghyll Foot. We were 3 adults and it was perfect. Very comfortable, beautifully warm and cosy (we had a few wet and windy days as usual in the Lakes) and such a lovely setting. The garden is really charming - and the seating out area with super views. Wifi better than at home and a washing machine, good oven, microwave etc - all Read morewe needed. We definitely want to return. Hide

We enjoyed our second stay at Ghyll Foot every bit as much as our first visit last year. The location is simply wonderful. It isn't large, but for us, with two dogs, it was perfectly comfortable. Its USP is having such a great selection of superb walks directly from the property, without any need to use the car.

Book through Sallys Cottages over a year ago , during which time it was taken on by Holiday cottages .Many years with Sallys so was unsure what to expect. Firstly the location was ideal for us . Tucked away with immediate access to the Fells . Cottage was smaller than we expected but no major issue. Inside was tidy so again no issue . Only minor anRead mored I mean minor thing would be that the second bedroom was dated and the garden could of done with a little work . Other than that we would return. Hide

Lovely cottage in a great location, it was spotlessly clean on our arrival. The gardens are absolutely beautiful. Plenty of walking (and climbing) to do right from the doorstep, you could really park the car and not use it again until it was time to go home.

Ghyll Foot is a little germ of careful and ingenious conversion of space. It is beautifully furnished with quality equipment and includes everything I need for a comfortable stay.

This is really a ground floor flat with unavoidable noise when any one is staying upstairs as we had for several nights and this makes it less than relaxing. Note that guests are expected to leave the property at 9 am not 10 am on the day of departure.
