“Loved it, should have stayed longer.”

As good a location for the price as you could ask for and very clean with plenty of space.

As good a location for the price as you could ask for and very clean with plenty of space. As feedback, maybe a few board games for all the family.

“The property was fantastic, the view spectacular.”

The house was extremely spacious - really good experience from start to finish. If we had to give some feedback the kitchen was lacking a few basics such as kitchen roll, tin foil and some oil and salt/pepper. We would definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you

“Lovely, spacious cottage with beautiful views from garden.”

Nearby free EV charging facilities. Great location for anyone looking to walk Blencathra. Only thing that could be improved would be providing firewood for fireplace or making it clear where it's available from.

“We loved our time here at Yonder End.”

The Christmas tree set up was a lovely surprise and really made us feel at home for the festive period. The photos do not do this place justice, so large and comfortable - a great place for our party of 7 and a perfect base for our visit to the lakes. The views from the house were stunning, and being right near some hiking and walking trails were just perfect. Cannot wait to come back!

“Like a previous reviewer I wasn’t convinced of the property’s worth from the presentation and wording of the advertisement but I took a chance on booking and was extremely pleased that I did.”

It was very much undersold. The property is very large, clean, well equipped and in beautiful surroundings with a view that you’d never tire off - the frequent red squirrel visitor was a real bonus. All party members would love to return.

“Lovely peaceful place, big house with excellent facilities, warm and cozy with properly supplied kitchen.”

Nice garden and wonderful views. Very easy access to long fell walks. This was a last minute due to covid rule change - we took a chance and won !

“Yonder End is a great cottage in a fabulous location.”

It's not luxury - but it is spacious, it was clean, comfortable, and warmed fabulously by the open coal fire. And in absolutely the right place to go for a walk up Blencathra!
