  Beautiful cottage in a great location with restaurants and pubs in easy reach after a hard days walking.

  The cottage is very well equipped with all the tools necessary for comfort and cooking if you need to. There is a drying cabinet for wet clothes and boots which came in very handy after we experienced some very wet days and marshy ground on the days out walking. The dogs had all the comfort of home, we took their own bed and lots of throws for the furniture and they settled in very well. Beware that there are sheep nearby in the field which is fenced off and the 10 acre grounds are pretty and wild with lots of nettles that caused some feet irritation so take piriton for the dog/s for the walk in the gardens. All in all a lovely experience, we were left to do our own thing by the host and we had a lovely time. We would not hesitate to return and recommend the location highly for anyone seeking a holiday in a stunning location.

  Lovely bright, airy cottage for a home from home stay.

  Great location for exploring the Lake District. The kitchen has everything you need, beds and pillows comfy, great pressure in the showers and nice big towels. Drying cupboard is a great bonus so you don't have to think about your boots and coats being damp for the next day! Outside table and chairs and umbrella if you get the weather for alfresco dining (luckily, we did) Sofas comfy but did tend to slip off when relaxing!! The gardens are lovely for a stroll and very picturesque, a great grass area for playing games if you have the energy after exploring the area! If we were to be very picky we would say the addition of a couple of board games would be a bonus. We are hoping to return to the area again and would have no hesitation on staying here again, thank you.

  Skiddaw, as part of a 4 unit holiday accommodation is one of the best of the many cottages we have stayed in across the UK.

  Spotlessly clean, very spacious, comfortable, quality fittings and fully equipped, this cottage takes fabulous advantage of lovely views with it's "upside down" accommodation. The eco friendly credentials are are impressive and the massive grounds for Jen, our dog, to wander, were icing on the cake. Add to this a quiet but great location for the north and western Lakes, we can unreservedly recommend Southwaite Green holiday accommodation. The only improvement would be if there was an information folder, particularly for recycling/waste, explanation of the functioning of the heating and suggestions for walks, activities etc. We enjoyed an excellent week's holiday in Skiddaw, thank you very much.

  The cottage is one of the best we have ever stayed at .

  Everything about it was great for three adults and three dogs . It was spotlessly clean with beautiful en-suite bathrooms in both downstairs bedrooms . The upstairs lounge was bright and airy with amazing views from the veranda and comfortable leather settees . A fully equipped kitchen and dining area meant we could cook and eat in the cottage easily . The extensive , private grounds made dog walking a pleasure and meant absolutely no hassle ... and the dogs loved being safely off lead . The area is absolutely stunning, beautiful walks , a short ride into Keswick and dog friendly pubs everywhere. This is definitely a cottage we will be revisiting.
