Our 5 night visit
The cottage is absolutely lovely, well stocked with absolutely everything you need. Everything is high quality. Everything matches. The only downside for us was the listing says "the thriving local pub" is in fact now a Michelin, reservation-required, and busy, restaurant. So be prepare to drive for your happy hour and dinner if you are not dining at home. (I understand it is quite an honour to be Michelin listed, and thus may actually be a bonus to staying at the Cottage).

Lovely Lake District Cottage
Clean, tidy 2-story cottage with beautiful window views and a great location for visiting Lake District sights. Friendly, welcoming, helpful hosts with wonderful sightseeing advice. My only suggestions would be for a small coffee table in front of the couch to set down drinks as you watch the TV. And maybe some bathroom soap or body wash for us long distance travelers. All in all, we had a very comfortable, pleasant stay! Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Morfett-Murdock

Host profile image
We have lived in Cumbria for 18 years having moved from Cheshire for work. We fell in love with this beautiful area. It has been a fantastic place to bring up our family, giving us amazing opportunities on our doorstep.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a lifestyle choice in rural Cumbria and found it in Skelton. An unspoiled village with easy access to the lakes and fells and local towns including Penrith and Carlisle.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is very well located to access the Northern lakes and fells and the local gateway towns of Penrith and Keswick are within a short drive. We have many repeat visitors who love the convenience of the area and the peacefulness of being away from the crowds. Our Village pub, the Dog and Gun, boasts the only Michelin Bib Gourmand in Cumbria and has won many awards for their superb food.. Penrith our local town is relatively unspoiled with a variety of independent shops and traders. It has an "old style” independent cinema too which is well worth a visit. The area is great for cycling and you can be underneath Blencathra before you know it on an afternoon or evening cycle ride. Also we have a couple of "open air lidos" nearby - summer only!
