  Absolutely gorgeous cottage.

  Modern showeroom, lots of towels and toilet tissue. First impression walking in was how warm and well kept the cottage was. Fully equipped with modern kitchen fitting the cottage feel and dishwasher. There is a washing machine at the property too! We didn't take advantage of either. But great little extras. We lit the log burner for a cosy evening and we logged into our netflix to watch a film. WiFi was excellent. We were so grateful we could take our dogs. The dogs were welcome. We brought with us their towels and beds and food bowls. A lovely little gated area we were allowed to use for the dogs. We were out all day exploring so the dogs got well walked over the couple of days. Lots of things to do nearby if you like history, as we do. We regret the vulcan museum is only open on a Saturday so we'll have to come back for that! The Scottish border is near. Where we visited Gretna green. Going back to Tight Lyne...a big superking bed. Quiet location. Lots of wildlife to see and a very friendly owner David who came to check we were OK. Departure day we met Pip the border collie who you might see when David is working... just a real wholesome break for us overall. Thank you

  The property was private and cozy even though it's on the site of a working family farm.

  That was actually one of our favorite parts, it felt like we were part of the countryside/community for a couple days. And we loved saying hello to the dogs and alpacas/llamas. We visited on a chilly weekend, so definitely use the space heaters provided if you get cold easily. We only used the wood stove (on purpose) and though that heats the living area so well and was extremely cozy, it was a little chilly in the bedroom without the heater on. Again, we did that on purpose, but not all like that. Our hosts were lovely the couple times we saw them and they were super responsive to texts - for example when we needed more kindling or teabags. The surrounding countryside was gorgeous and the inn/restaurant just down the road (The Crossings Inn) was great and so close by. It's also in Hadrian's Wall country. We loved it.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Mousehole Cottage.

  In a beautiful and tranquil, rural location, it's close to amenities while still enabling the feeling of getting away from it all. We received a warm welcome, and felt every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from milk in the fridge to spare dog bowls and poop bags, dishwasher tablets to plenty of reading matter. The property was beautifully clean and we really appreciate use of the agility course too - our 12 year old dog needed to let off some steam in the cooler evenings! The poultry onsite definitely added an extra layer of personality to the stay and it's lovely to see them ambling around and occasionally coming to say hello. The locals are all friendly too, from the local shop to the pub, we felt very at home. Would definitely book again, we highly recommend!

  Had a very peaceful Christmas in a gem of a cottage which was clean, very warm, comfortable and in the ideal rural setting.

  The peace and quiet was greatly appreciated, the travel instructions were spot on and the on site parking a great advantage. The village shop in Armathwaite is superbly well stocked and the staff friendly and helpful. The countryside surrounding the cottage offers much to explore - woodland, riverside walks and many interesting villages, not forgetting the historic and beautiful Settle to Carlisle railway. A lot to investigate further for a future visit. Thanks to Nick and family and the others on site that we met for the friendly welcome and for making our Christmas break so memorable. Hope to meet with you all again. Kind regards, John, Susan and Lyndsay Stanton, Felton, Northumberland.

  Mousehole cottage was just perfect for us and our 2 dogs.

  It was very well equipped with everything you need. It was clean, beds were comfy, generous amount of towels and the garden is completely secure for the dogs, good fencing all the way around. An added bonus is a securely fenced paddock so you can let your dogs run- this is sheep country so the opportunities to let your dogs off when you are out for the day are limited, having the paddock was just brilliant. The location is great , very quiet but only a mile from the village with 2 pubs and a shop and easy access to A6 and M6 making it very central for exploring this area. Owner was very friendly and lives on site but left you to it. We would recommend this cottage and we would go back again.
