Parkergate Farmhouse is a fantastic property in beautiful surroundings with stunning views. The accommodation was perfect for our family group with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Everywhere was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well-equipped and having two fridge freezers was a bonus. Abby, the property manRead moreager, was very welcoming and exceptionally helpful. We all had a great time - the weather was so much better than forecast and some days were sunny and warm. Hide

We enjoyed our stay in this sizeable and well located old farmhouse. It was well equipped and clean with lovely views. It was also surprisingly easy to keep warm. It is a little tired and in need of updating in parts. but we would recommend it as it was comfortable and suited our group of 6 very well.

Great house for our family get together. We were 4 couples with a toddler and it is so well equipped! We did come dine with me evenings and had every utensil and pan needed! The beds are super comfy and there is loads of space. Its also lovely and warm - which was essential after days in the outdoors.

Sadly the coffee machine was broken. The creamer didnt heat the milk. We have one at home and we were very disappointed. The house was clean and spacious and we enjoyed our stay. I also hope the leak in the bathroom has been stopped as someone could slip if it gets much worse. Best wishes Sue Pickering

Gorgeous property throughout and plenty of space. The games room is a brilliant asset! Amazing views from the rear of the cottage and lovely grounds. The property is right on the road though, although there was only 1 night where late night farm machinery disturbed us a bit as we had the window open due to the hot weather! Highly recommend The PheaRead moresant Inn nearby for a meal. Amazing steak and great value. Hide

Pretty much the perfect cottage. The glorious weather helped of course. Lovely terrace to sit and watch the sun go down. Well-equipped kitchen. Lots of room. Comfortable beds. Well positioned for Skiddaw, Dodd and Latrigg etc. Hotel bar just down the road is good and pub suppers at The Sun are good and hearty.

6 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs spent 4 super nights at farmhouse over Christmas. The property more than met our needs. The kitchen was a good size for everyone to get involved in the cooking and prep. Beds comfy and plenty of bathrooms. Great location for walks down to Bassenthwaite Lake. The property was much bigger than we thought it would be so plRead moreenty of room for all. An addition of a games room with Table Tennis table added to the fun. Hide
