“This cottage was more than I hoped for!”

Beautiful location, Wonderful owners (seriously so nice- couldn't do more for us) and incredible views. ...

Beautiful location, Wonderful owners (seriously so nice- couldn't do more for us) and incredible views. Really cosy feel to the place- you felt at home the minute you walk in. The beds were so comfortable and the history of this place was so humbling. I ADORED the Aga- kept the cottage so warm and got the quickest cuppa's, if that wasn't enough- there was also an open fireplace- perfection. If you get the opportunity to go, definitely go and make the point of star gazing at night- you'll be glad you did. I am very glad my friends and I went- and we wish that we went for a longer period, lesson for next time eh!

“Very nice relaxing break and the cottage was amazing.”

Better than described with all the amenities you could possibly need. The owners were very helpful and lovely people. I would fully recommend

- Mr Herbert, August 2019
“Great hosts and the cottage was as hoped all good”

- Mr Laws, July 2019
“We received a lovely warm welcome from the owners, who explained the cottage facilities and the surrounding areas.”

The cottage was built in the 1600's and it's facilities are in fitting with it's age as well as being practical for our modern needs. We particularly enjoyed the AGA experience which needs to be embraced. The area is very quiet but only 4 miles from Kendal and all it's facilities. We have enjoyed a wonderful week at Mill Cottage and would love to return in the future.

- Mrs Miller, June 2019
“A group of six of us stayed at Mill Cottage and we all enjoyed our stay in this traditional, comfortable, quaint cottage.”

It is handy for biking and walking in a very quiet location. Jeanie and Logan were great hosts and we wold thoroughly recommend the cottage.

- Mr Budd, May 2019
“Mill cottage is like going back in time which we absolutely loved, cooking on an Aga was great for us but some people might struggle .”

- Mr Francis, May 2019
“The old rustic 17 century cottage is set in an idyllic location with easy access to many facilities by car.”

Many features still exist from the original building giving the cottage ample character. The cottage was perfect for our pet dogs with the slate floors and access to local walks. All of the rooms are clean and fresh. Many useful utilities were available to make our stay easy and enjoyable: washing machine, dish washer, iron, aga ( tremendous heat), variety of cooking pans and large Belfast sink in utility etc The helpful owners are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. A very inviting open log fire helped finish off the enjoyable days you will have in this location.

- Mr Crockett, April 2019
“Absolutely idyllic and we would visit again without question.”

Located in a tiny cluster of other cottages, there is a river on one side and endless hills on the other. Super nearby is the town of Kendal with a big Sainsburys. The cottage has everything you need and oozes charm, beds are also very comfortable.

- Mrs Jenkins, April 2019
“We had the most magical Christmas break at Mill Cottage.”

Our cottage was a little slice of heaven and and experience we won’t forget. The cottage was cosy and warm, functional and had everything we needed for our Christmas country escape. Cooking a goose on an aga for Christmas lunch in the pristine countryside was just a real memory. Logan and Jeanie were excellent hosts and made sure our stay was one not to forget for all the right reasons. From the morning visit by the local chickens, to the gorgeous walks at our fingertips and the fact the cottage looked like it was under permentant Instagram filter - the whole experience was just magic.

- Mrs Eltringham, December 2018
“The cottage is one of the best we have ever stayed at !”

Lovely owners next door,on hand if you need anything at all, the setting of this small hamlet is totally beyond picture box perfect. Great open fire and Aga, lovely comfortable beds, the property is all beams and quirky cupboards,no phone signal but the free unlimited Wi-Fi is great. 10/10 we will definitely be returning !

- Mr Coulthard, October 2018
“The owners Logan & Jeannie were most welcoming & could not do enough to make us feel at home.”

Mill Cottage is extremely clean, cosy, comfortable & well equipped. We enjoyed cooking on the Aga & sitting around the log fire. Our dogs loved all the walks. The scenery was stunning & everything was right on our doorstep. Logan recommended some beautiful routes to suit our abilities. All in all a great holiday in a lovely cottage. Highly recommended.

- Mr Eves, October 2018
“We had a very relaxing time, there was everything we needed and more, Jeanie and Logan were great, and on hand if we needed anything, but not intrusive.”

I got to grips cooking on the Aga, and dog quickly felt at home, and was soon in protective mode thinking she owned the place. The weather was not great, but we would love to go again

- Mrs Bridgman, September 2018
“24/8-31/8/18.”

Great location, cosy, comfortable, clean dog friendly cottage. Owners only next door...really welcoming and very approachable

- Mrs Vousden, August 2018
“Beautiful cottage!”

Jeanie and Logan were very friendly and knowledgeable and the lakes and Rydal caves are a short drive away! Our puppy loved his first holiday!

- Miss Dougan, August 2018
“We loved the warm welcome that Jeanie and Logan gave us when we arrived.”

They not only explained about Mill cottage, but about the history of the cottage and the surrounding area. Also advised us about the local supermarkets and places where to eat. The cottage was homely and really comfortable. If you wanted somewhere peaceful and tranquil to enjoy your holiday break with excellent hosts, then this cottage is the place for you. It is not far from Kendal, Windermere and if you are feeling suitable brave the Wrynose Pass (east direction). Really enjoyed our stay at this lovely, beautiful character cottage. Our little dog -Miah loved it as well.

- Mrs Kinsey, June 2018
“Great for relaxing”

Stayed here for 4 nights, it’s fantastic for a short break. Logan and Jeannie (the owners) were really helpful and friendly. Perfect for a large family or for friends wanting to go away together.

- Matt T, May 2018
“We had a fab time staying at this cottage with our 3 boys and dog.”

The property was very clean and the owners were more than helpful. The only thing that let it down, and this is the only thing!, was the shower was not very good. we did, however, have the option of using the bath.

- Mrs Adams, April 2018
“Our little Haven.”

With two dogs, two babies any holiday destination would be a struggle. This gem though made everything run smoothly. owners nearby with help and advice. super stores a short drive-away. surrounding countryside like a post card. with walks and fishing, pubs and restaurants plentiful this is a truly perfect location. value for money? you would struggle to find anywhere in this country for such money, I would of paid double.

- A TripAdvisor Member, July 2017
“Comfortable and Cosy.”

Stayed with my Wife and my In-Laws for 4 nights. Our welcome from the Owners was informative, friendly and welcoming. The Aga cooker is a super warm welcome and the accommodation is comfortable and cosy. Thank you for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Best regards and hope to stay again sometime.

“Little piece of heaven!”

Booked absolute last minute. Found online on Sat, arrived for a four night stay on the Monday. Expected little with the short notice, but how amazed we were to find this charming, cosy and homely little haven. We were made extremely welcome by Logan, who took his time showing us how to work the wonderful Aga, told us some of the history of the beautiful cottage, and showed us around. I'm very impressed that the fuel for the fire didn't cost extra. The traditional feel of the cottage adds to the experience. You'd be forgiven for thinking you'd gone back in time....with all mod cons thrown in too! Clean, cosy, welcoming and friendly. Out of the way enough to be peaceful, but close enough to towns and amenities for convenience. My little girls loved their stay in "Mrs Tiggywinkles Cottage", with so many wonderful features. We will definitely return,

- Elaineck44, October 2015
“Fantastic location”

Our party consisted of myself, my husband , parents and our dog. We all received a very warm welcome from Jeanie on our arrival. Mill cottage is delightful loads of charm and its stocked with everything you could possibly need. It's in a great location very quiet and peaceful, yet not far from The lakes. It was very warm, cozy, clean and quite spacious for a cottage. Jeanie and Logan were very helpful with telling us the best places to visit, eat and walk the dog. Would definatley stay here again when visiting the Lake District.

- linda25159, September 2015
“Absolutely lovely accommodation in lovely setting.”

We too our elderly parents along and they too loved everything about the property and the area, and the welcoming hosts. We would highly recommend this property.

- Mr Spurgeon, September 2015
“just what the doctor ordered”

Just returned from 5 days at Mill Cottage. Cottage was everything we could have asked or wished for. Plenty of charm and character, log fire for cosy nights and aga range which was on constantly kept the cottage nice and snug. More than big enough for our party of 6 adults and 2 large dogs. Everything was of a very high standard, the owners had thought of everything. All logs and coal was supplied as were other supplies we wouldnt have expected. Owners made us very welcome showing us how everything worked and were everything was. Didnt intrude into our space, but let us know were they were if anything was needed, pounted us in the direction of some good walks for the dogs and told us the best routes for sight seeing. All of us agreed we would definetly return and would recommend this cottage to others. Thank you xx

“gorgeous”

Very pleased with this cottage, booked last minute 5 night break and wish we'd had longer. The cottage was superb, beautifully decorated with lots of interesting features. The open fire and Aga were lovely touches. We really couldn't have asked for any better accommodation. Good location for accessing local amentities in Windermere, Ambleside and Kendal. We did a fair bit of walking around the local area. Would happily go back!

- DrToots, September 2014
“We want to come back !”

Character cottage - quaint, homely, beautiful Open fire, comfortable seating Brilliant aga - great for getting around as a family with hot drinks, and the outdoor kit drying out in an instant Didn't want to go out, as the place was so lovely, but when we did - great walks and cycles from the door, beautiful valley "hidden gem" - I've come to the Lakes for years and never knew about it.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, November 2013
“Excellent!”

The welcome was warm and friendly and how to work the aGa fully explained! The cottage is lovely in a beautiful part of the Lake District, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

- The Horns, September 2013
“Lovely old cottage, lovely owners, lovely area”

great place, lovely flagstone floors, aga in the kitchen which is on all the time, perfect for drying wet clothes after the inevitable walk in the rain. lots of toys for young children and board games for older people. Good sounding stereo (bring some CDs) and an open log fire with a guard for safety (not that I can keep a fire going). Wifi is in next house and only worked for me held up to a window or on the kitchen worktop so for anything other than specific use (eg check your email, quick browse) it's not there. No phone signal either but there is a phone (pay phone or incoming). Still you probably want to get away from all that. Lovely walks on hills in immediate vicinity and of course 15mins from Windermere.

- TJTraveller, September 2013
“A very memorable stay for the family”

We all enjoyed our stay in Mill Cottage. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the location was perfect. We loved the aga in the kitchen and the cottage itself. Very dog friendly and the walks from the cottage up the hills behind gave us glorious views of the surrounding countryside.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, July 2013
“Cosy, warm cottage with really welcoming and helpful owners”

Cosy, warm cottage with really welcoming and helpful owners. The cottage ticked every box especially once we'd lit the fire and tucked into a bottle of red. The owners couldn't have been more welcoming (but don't worry they weren't intrusive!) and had no issue in helping us out once we'd found out we'd arrived without our towels. Thoroughly recommend a stay here.
