Southwaite Cottage Reviews

Alex
Fantastic property and amazing location. Great for family get togethers and lovely surroundings for dog walks.
Finley
We were so impressed with our stay at Southwaite Cottage. 4 comfortable bedrooms, clean and stylish bathrooms with powerful showers, an ample kitchen, perfect for cooking big meals (and well equipped) as well as two cosy sitting areas and the log burner to top it off. Stunning location, very secluded and ideally situated for walking.
Anthony
Superb property, would come back again.
Graham
A beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings. It was immaculately prepared and the welcome pack was much appreciated. We did have issues, but the way Steve and Natalie dealt with them was faultless. We will definitely be back. Lambing season and the Cumbria just added to the holiday.
