just perfect (would love to live there)
absolutely amazing place, we do travel a lot and normally don't do reviews but this time... probably the best place we ever stayed in... really well equipt and situated on edge of very small village (no shops, no street lights, very friendly locals), just perfect if you want to switch off and take break from stress, this place is for you... perfect location for hikers, cyclists and dogs... we loved every minute spent there... even checked availability to stay week longer but my partner couldn't have off... PS: pictures don't make it justice, that's how pretty it is and i've already recommended this place to few friends

An Oasis of calm
We booked this as a last minute visit to family in the area and we were impressed with the location and the size of the property for two people. Warm, comfortable and so much space for us and our two small dogs. Really well equipped and a welcome of fresh eggs and homemade jams. We will certainly try to book again in the future when the need arises.

Cumbrian peace and quiet
This is a lovely and very spacious cottage with excellent facilities, which was warm and comfortable in every way. It has its own enclosed garden and guests can also access the owners' orchard and small wood which was great for short dog walks. The owners are next door and extremely helpful and kind but not at all intrusive. The little village of Farlam is fine for wandering down the lane to, and Talkin Tarn is a short walk away. Other walks are a short drive away. Highly recommended.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I live with my family next door to the cottage, so am able to address any questions immediately, but otherwise stay out of the way. I am a glass artist working exclusively with recycled glass. You can see my work on my web site rakitacraft.co.uk. I am also a small holder: we have a large fruit and vegetable garden and an orchard. We also keep chickens. As a welcome gift we leave our guests eggs laid by our lovely hens along with homemade jams produced with our own berries. We share seasonal veg surplus with our guest if they are interested.

Why they chose this property

We lived in big cities most of our lives, London being last and wanted to move to the countryside, grow our own food, enjoy hill walks and cycling.

What makes this property unique

Calf Close Cottage is positioned conveniently for exploring a variety of destinations. Lake District National Park, Scottish Borders, Hadrian's Wall, Solway Firth and the city of Carlisle are all within easy driving distance. And the local fells are a well-kept secret. High moorland to the south of Farlam provides mile upon mile of rugged and lonely walking, or even mountain biking for the adventurous. More information is available on our web site.
