Great stay
Property as described, perfect for the two of us. Everything we needed. Charming terrace in a delightful, remote location Access road, as described, so make sure you have a robust car. And get your bearings first time before dark. Loved the walk from the door, up the fells

Return visit.
For me this is a very special place. This was our third visit. Mark was very helpful and easy to contact. This place is a true peace haven full of wild life and nature. There is only one issue and that it says for 4 adults. If the adults don't mind sleeping in bunkbeds and are around 5ft 5" there is no problem. Other than that it was a wonderful holiday with so much to see and do at our fingertips. We were also .blessed with absolutely fantastic weather. Thanks Mark and Leon for a most enjoyable stay.

Glencoyne Valley Cottage Review
This is a superb cottage with great views and hiking opportunities. The owner, Leon, is very responsive and helpful. I was delayed in my arrival to the cottage and Leon helped me with driving directions to the cottage given over the phone while I drove well after midnight in Cumbria.

Amazing!
We stayed as a family of four for a week. Stunning location with incredible views. The house is an old miners cottage which has been tastefully refurbished with everything we needed and feels like you’ve gone back in time. The kids loved watching the local wildlife including red squirrels and a wide variety of birds. The house was positioned well and a great base to explore the Lake District.

Why they chose this property

A cosy little cottage set amidst a breath taking setting. The eight cottages are set on the fellside, remote from any other dwelling or road. At night the lack of lighting allows for remarkable views of the night sky.

What makes this property unique

Simply an idyllic unspoilt location, far from the busy villages and towns. Quiet location to enjoy nature at close quarters and see the sky at night.
