Cosy up in the lounge and watch a film, as Fido snoozes in front of the wood burner effect gas fire.

What a lovely cottage! My husband, our two dogs, and I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The cottage is cosy, well-equipped, and has a large, secure garden where we could all relax safely and comfortably. It was a 10 minute walk into Appleby. We particularly enjoyed the riverside walk and our dogs loved cooling down in the water. There are plenRead morety of amenities to enjoy in the town all very dog friendly too. We would love to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. Hide

We loved this cottage from the minute we stepped through the front doorway! Everything was super clean, everything worked and we felt really comfortable throughout our stay. For two people, the cottage is exceptionally spacious. We especially liked being able to spread out in the living room. The cottage is really well placed for the best of the loRead morecal walks to the south of Appleby. It is also very easy to walk to and from the town centre. We never used our car during our whole visit! Hide

Our second stay in Colby Lane. First stay was pre Covid so been a while. Has everything you could possibly need. We have a dog and could wander about in the secure back garden. The car can park there too. Very quiet area but only a short walk down to the town centre although a bit hilly on the way back. Thoroughly recommended on all fronts.
