“When we booked Speight Cottage, we were simply hoping for a comfortable, quiet escape, surrounded by beautiful countryside.”
What we found when got to Scrogg House Farm exceeded all our expectations.
The cottage was immaculate and clearly considerable care has gone into creating this first class accommodation.
The kitchen was very well equipped with every utensil we could need for our long weekend provided. The living/dining room was an ideal size for two visitors and their dog, with log burner, new sofa, good tv and wifi.
The bedroom had ample storage for clothes, with a hairdryer, mirrors and very comfortable large bed.
Like the other rooms, the bathroom was decorated nicely. It was spacious, with a large powerful shower and towels/dressing gowns provided.
Underfloor heating throughout ensured we were never cold despite some very inclement autumnal weather.
On our arrival, we found scones with jam and cream waiting for us, with milk and bacon in the fridge and a fresh loaf and eggs generously supplied by Sam and Paul. The attention to detail and determination to impress their guests was not lost on us.
The hot tub on the large south facing patio is the perfect vantage point to enjoy the incredible view over the fields, river and hills beyond. Having never experienced an outdoor hot tub before and it being October, we really didn’t expect to spend much time in it. How wrong we were! Other than sliding the cover off, slipping in and relaxing, there’s nothing more to do. Again, no expense has been spared as this was clearly a very good quality large hot tub, with bluetooth connection for your own music to play through its inbuilt speakers and an array of coloured lights. The temperature was perfect and we literally spent hours in it!
Feeding Sam’s Highland cattle and donkeys and meeting the three dogs, hens and cockerel added to our enjoyment and we loved walking along the riverbank into Sedbergh.
Undoubtedly, we’ll recommend Speight Cottage to our friends and family and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.
