“Nightingale cottage is a cosy comfy cottage, it is well equipped even has a modern tv, surprise, surprise.”

Situated in the centre of the village, it is handy for both of the local pubs, both are very welcoming and are dog friendly which is most important to us. The cottage is situated at the base of Blencathra, which is handy for those of you brave enough to have a stroll up, in addition there are a good few easy walks in and around the village. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage and will definitely going back.

“The cottage was comfortable, warm, well equipped and easy to use.”

The welcome pack and information provided was accurate and user friendly. The “comments” book included updates from the owners that were appreciated. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“The location is superb.”

Being keen walkers we planned three days out direct from the house and it was lovely to not need to drive to the start of those walks. It's also only a short drive from some excellent walking spots. For us the location was perfect. The cottage is small and cozy. It could do with a few essentials: sharp knives; olive oil etc. But otherwise well equipped. The cottage was a bit small for our needs and the mattress needs replacing as was very uncomfortable so we didn't get a good sleep during our stay.

- Ms Curtis, September 2020

Thank you for staying at Nightingale Cottage. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the location and cosiness of the cottage. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions, we have had to remove oils and other cooking essentials. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are sorry that you found the mattress uncomfortable and have now ordered a replacement which will arrive at the beginning of November and will be there for any guests after then. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Owner relations

“The cottage is in a beautiful location with easy access to lovely walks and not far from Keswick.”

The cottage is very small and compact and whilst it was clean and on the whole comfortable there were a couple of things that the owner needs to attend to. 1. There was a leak under the kitchen sink, which had obviously been there for sometime as there was a damp smell coming from the cupboard under the sink. 2. The bed is very uncomfortable, the mattress sloped to one side and it made sleeping quite difficult. 3. When I was making the bed on the first morning after arrival, I found a dirty sock under the bed.

- Mr Dean, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the beautiful location and clean cottage. Thank you for bringing the leak to our attention. This was fixed by our Maintenance Team as soon as we became aware and this could have been done during your stay if we had been informed. We encourage all guests to let us know of issues as they arise so that they can be immediately rectified and we are disappointed that this didn't happen on this occasion. We are sorry that you found the mattress uncomfortable. It is the first time that this has been mentioned to us and, as we will be staying in the cottage in the next few weeks, we will review the situation and address it accordingly. Our cleaner also apologises profusely for the not seeing the sock under the bed. We hope these issues did not detract from your enjoyment and look forward to being able to welcome you back in the future Owner relations

“Great cosy cottage in a fantastic location.”

Very well equipped and clean. Lovely village with a great pub , serving excellent food, only a couple of minutes walk away. Walks on the doorstop and within easy reach of Keswick, with a good selection of shops and restaurants. If you stay here you must visit Aira Force waterfall, fantastic. Just wish we had longer to enjoy the stunning area.

“Snug, bolt-hole below Blencathra”

Booked for my 40th birthday, this 17th century cottage was snug, welcoming, well-equipped and so clean and tidy it was a delight to stay in. With a packet of dog treats also waiting for Cassie, they kept her happy all week on our walks! Keswick is only 4 miles away for all amenities, but the Horse and Farrier in Threlkeld is so close for food and drink you might never leave the village. Walks are available for all levels from the front door and mounrain biking too on Lonscale Fell. We moved away from Cumbria three years ago...now we're not so sure why!

“Fabulous Cottage”

3rd year staying at this cottage and not disappointed. Very comfortable clean and well equipped cottage in a village setting with easy access to Keswick the nearest town. Picture taken from the back garden looking over the fells

“Really cosy & gorgeous views”

Brilliant short break to celebrate my birthday. Hubby, Sandie the cocker spaniel & I all loved Nightingale Cottage. Really cosy & immaculately clean. The wood burner was a real treat when it was hailing & snowing outside on an evening! Outside space is great & we hope to return in warmer weather to enjoy the lovely garden & gorgeous views. Sandie loved having her own little spot for her food & water. She was super happy to find treats waiting for her when she arrived...thank you! Dog friendly Horse & Farrier only a few minutes walk away was excellent for food or just for a drink.

“Singing the Praise of Nightingale Cottage”

Nightingale Cottage is in the village of Threlkeld which is less than a 10 minute drive to Keswick. The cottage is in an excellent location for plenty of high or low level walking. The cottage is very dog friendly, with treats left for our dog on arrival. The cottage has everything to make our stay very comfortable, the log burner was lovely with plenty of wood available. The kitchen had all the mod cons including a dishwasher which is a treat when on holiday! Having WiFi that worked was excellent. The whole cottage is clean and fresh, and well loved. Whilst we were there the temperatures drop below zero, but the cottage was very warm and snug. A great retreat after a long day on the hills.

“Outstanding views”

We first came here for our mini moon and enjoyed it so much we came back this year too! It's very well appointed and everything seems to have been catered for. It's very clean and has amazing views of Blencathra. It's very easy to get to Keswick by foot, bus or car and you are well situated to travel around the rest of the lakes within 30 minutes. Very very comfortable and very considerate owners, we had gifts and cards for our wedding and second visit which shows a real personal touch, also very dog friendly (although you can't tell any have been in due to high standards of cleaning) Highly recommended
