Pretty much the perfect cottage. The glorious weather helped of course. Lovely terrace to sit and watch the sun go down. Well-equipped kitchen. Lots of room. Comfortable beds. Well positioned for Skiddaw, Dodd and Latrigg etc. Hotel bar just down the road is good and pub suppers at The Sun are good and hearty.

6 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs spent 4 super nights at farmhouse over Christmas. The property more than met our needs. The kitchen was a good size for everyone to get involved in the cooking and prep. Beds comfy and plenty of bathrooms. Great location for walks down to Bassenthwaite Lake. The property was much bigger than we thought it would be so plRead moreenty of room for all. An addition of a games room with Table Tennis table added to the fun. Hide

The property was in a lovely location. The property was very well equipped and the layout downstairs worked very well for the whole family.However there was damp and mold in one of the bedrooms .The rest of the cottage was very clean and comfortable.

We had a lovely stay at Parkergate Farmhouse. Beautiful view. Spotlessly clean. Lovely bedding, comfy beds, excellent crockery and spotless glassware. The only downside was the number of steps inside the property, in bedrooms and bathrooms resulted in multiple trip hazards until we got used to them, this should be made clear on the listing.

A large cottage with useful rooms like a utility/drying room, a room to hang coats, a playroom for the children plus lots of bath/shower rooms. The manager of the property was very helpful when I phoned up. The views even in bad weather were delightful. The toys left out were great for our toddlers and the table-tennis for the adults.
