“We were pleased with our cottage and with the convenience of being able to travel both south to the Lakes and being able to visit Carlisle and Penrith.”

Our hosts were friendly and obliging.The weather was kind to us and there were tables and chairs for sitting outside.

“I booked with Skyes cottages for a surprise getaway for my parents everything my parents told me was positive they arrived a little later then expected and the lady was accommodating and so lovely about all of it.”

They had a wonderful time and we will definitely book again with them in the future!

“Great hosts, cosy cottage and the perfect location - everything is very accessible.”

“Bed not comfortable and creaks Couch not comfortable at all.”

Towel radiator above toilet so you got wet towels About you when using the loo. We had to go shopping to cleaning products Wipes/kitchen towel/spray/bleach. Dish washer tablets. Make sure you park between the welcome sheep on the fence I was told this as soon as I arrived. It’s not far from the m6 so at night you can hear traffic. Very little wild life Plenty of crows but not much else. We both love the area as have been for a number of years Will be back next year but To somewhere different.

I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent stay. The property has received consistently positive feedback, so it is disappointing to hear your stay did not mirror the experience of others. Regrettably the property owners had not been informed that the bed was broken during your stay, which may have added to any discomfort you were experiencing. Should any damages occur during your stay, we would kindly ask that these are raised with us to allow the owners to attend to any repairs or replacements for both current and future guests.

“Wonderful place to relax and recharge”

Just back from a four night break with my Husband at Daisy Cottage. I have to say the place was just perfect. Linda and Philip are most excellent hosts. The cottage has everything you need and more and on top of that it is spotlessly clean. We ended our trip with a wonderful breakfast next door at The Ginney Guest House - I didn't eat again until the evening!!! Thank you once again both for a most excellent stay.

“A Perfect Holiday - A Perfect Location - A Perfect Cottage!!”

Having just returned from Daisy Cottage, I just had to write a review so that others know what a fantastic little place it is. We booked at the last minute as a pre-wedding honeymoon and it was a perfect location/property for that. We were met by Linda, the owner, when we got onto the driveway and were given a quick tour of the cottage and left to get on with our break. The cottage is brilliantly equipped and a great 'basecamp' for exploring the lakes - 15 mins drive to Ullswater, 30 mins to Keswick and about 40/50 to Ambleside. Penrith is literally a 5 minute drive away and has a Morrisons and Booths supermarket, along with a Go Outdoors and a Mountain Warehouse. We ate in most evenings as the cottage had a lovely kitchen and everything you need to cook a meal like you would at home. We would highly recommend a visit to Daisy Cottage!

“Very clean and well presented . Plan to stay again soon”

We really enjoyed our stay. In fact it only rained on the last day! Would recommend it to as a get away for couples

“Really enjoyable”

Had a lovely stay, very quiet and relaxing, a very warm welcome and close to the lakes and attractions.

“Absolutely fantastic”

My partner and I recently spent a week in the Lake District and in all honesty, we couldn't have had a more perfect break - thanks in no small part to our stay at Daisy Cottage. The cottage itself was wonderful - impeccably clean, cosy and incredibly well-equipped (we cooked more during our stay than we have at home in the last month). The location, just outside of Penrith, means that it's very accessible (with the town centre and supermarket a five minute drive away) but quiet enough to be peaceful - which, coming from North London, we very much appreciated! Linda and her husband were also very helpful, incredibly friendly and knowledgeable- we wouldn't have found Hadrian's Wall without them! Overall, I can't recommend Daisy Cottage (and its parent guesthouse) enough... we'll definitely be back!

“Perfect”

It was exactly what we wanted, clean modern n very comfortable. In an ideal location near to everywhere we wanted to go to. The only thing that was not reliable was the weather in rained most days but we had our wellies.

“Daisy cottage was spotless, welcoming and relaxing”

The few days spent at Daisy Cottage was a wonderful, relaxing experience. The cottage was spotless with everything anyone would need and quiet. The cottage is far enough away for quiet tranqulility and close enough to lakes, walks, shops and pub if you fancy a quick drink. All in all, a lovely place to stay and would definately be back.

About the location

PENRITH

Keswick 17 miles; Carlisle 20 miles.

The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle (The Windsor of the North), Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
