  This is a superb property, clean, warm and luxuriously comfortable.

  How anyone could think it needs a 'refurb' is quite beyond me! It is quiet and secluded, but near enough to the village of Wetherall to enjoy its facilities, including easy access to Carlisle and Newcastle via the railway station. It is only ten minutes from Tesco and Toby Carvery on the A69. Beautiful looking house, with a rather undistinguished history. Two slight niggles: there is ONE car space for the apartment, not two as stated on the website; I managed to park next to the wall, so it was not a major issue. Secondly, one picture shows table and chairs next to the pond, the implication is that you have access to that. You don't! It is not clear how 'out of sight' of the main house you have to be (how do you access the walks?) so I kept out of the way! Apart from these minor points, you will not be disappointed in this beautiful apartment. If there are people in the upstairs apartment next door, you will know about it, by the way. Not a problem for me, since they were out a lot of the time, but it could be a problem. Would I return? No, I never visit the same holiday location twice, as a general rule.

  We had a fantastic stay at Geltsdale East Wing.

  The property was stunning with gorgeous views and was very well equipped. It was lovely watching the deer play on the grounds and we found a lovely place by the river near by that we were able to sit by whilst the kids played in the water. There is a little park only 5 minutes walk which the kids enjoyed although most days were spend venturing around places like Kendal, Keswick, Windermere etc. There is a Tesco and co op only a short drive away which was handy. We cooked most evenings and found the kitchen had everything we needed and there was a washing machine and dryer which we found very handy with staying a week with 3 children. However we did find the washing machine detergent compartments were very very dirty due to mould build up. I did give it a good clean as best I could but suggest the owners keep an eye on this in the future. The accommodation was very tidy and for the most part nice and clean but we found places like the bathroom floors and tiles could do with a deep clean. Apart from that we couldn’t fault our stay and would definitely return again in the future.

  Myself and my partner (and 2 dogs) stayed here at the end of October as a last minute get away.

  Arriving to a bottle of wine, fresh fruit, chocolate cookies and milk was a fantastic touch after a 2 hour drive! The cottage was beautifully clean, warm and homely throughout our stay. And the owner(s) couldn’t do enough for us throughout, despite following COVID-19 measures. It was a brilliant experience to stay on a working dairy farm and such welcoming, pleasant farmers. It is a great base to drive to many fells, lakes and dog walks and there are 3 lovely walks around the farm. There are dog walks from the farm however we didn’t experience these due to the wet weather. After long, wet day’s walking our dogs it was great to dry off in front of a log burner, with heated floor and enjoying a ginormous bath! There are plenty of pubs nearby if you don’t mind driving but being tucked away in a little cottage, with a self-sufficient kitchen was all we needed. I will be recommending to me family and friends and will certainly come back soon! Such great value for money.

  We have stayed in this property in the past.

  It is a wonderful property with a beautiful backdrop of the hills. It gives access to Northumbria, Lake District, Scottish Borders, Howgills and the Yorkshire Dales which are all a walkers paradise. My main comment about the apartment is that it really needs a "facelift" by being decorated plus some of the carpets particularly the dining area either need cleaning or replacing, likewise sofas were badly stained. Our last stay here was in 2013 and nothing appears to have been replaced/cleaned. The bedroom furniture had tea stains spilled down the front. Whoever does the cleaning for this property needs to give it a "good fettle" as we say in Yorkshire. Although my comments may appear disparaging, it would not stop me from staying here again and I would recommend to others. However, I don't expect to have to start cleaning immediately on arrival when on my holidays.

  What a wonderful week we had at Geltsdale Gardens.

  The perfect setting for peace, quiet & tranquility, which was just what one of us needed following a very difficult time. The ground floor setting, throughout, is ideal for anyone with mobility difficulties; even the front door & path are step free! Parking is right next to path too, which is also all level. Very well equipped apartment indeed; want for nothing. Beds are extremely comfortable; luxurious linen, towels & hand soaps/lotions. We had a small query, which the very accommodating owner was more than happy to instantly help us with - thank you. Geltsdale Gardens is a great place to relax & unwind or a base to explore the Lakes & over the border into Scotland. Highly recommend & certainly won’t hesitate to return. Thank you for a lovely stay.
