Tilberthwaite Farm Cottage Reviews

Just WOW!!

We loved staying at this beautiful remote cottage. The scenery was amazing and the cottage is clean and very well equipped. I visited with my daughter, her partner and my 6 year old grandson. It was great being next door to a working sheep farm. Loved listening to the sheep and watching the farmer going about his day.We were all enthralled. The facilities at the cottage were perfect. The hot tub was a great way to relax in the evenings. We loved it so much my daughter has booked for us again next summer (I hadn't even finished unpacking!) We all cannot wait to return and we never wanted to leave. On returning home to the everyday hustle and bustle it made the visit even more special. If you're looking for a relaxing break in stunning surroundings and some lovely local walks, this is the place to go. Counting down the days until our return. 5*

Such a gem of a place!

We all totally fell in love with this place. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere and was just what we needed to switch off from city life and relax. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. As it is a working farm, the cottage was surrounded by sheep and we loved listening to them being vocal each evening. The hot tub was a real treat after a long walk. There were some beautiful walks straight from the door step. We were so sad to leave and would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful place

Stunning views, fabulous walks

A superbly set up cottage, with a wood burning fire and hot tub. Very well furnished. Set in a remote valley with stunning views and with walks all around, some of which Beatrix potter used to do. Close to lake Coniston, and amenities. You can do some wonderful walks right from the cottage, the views are amazing, you will need your camera and yes it loads. The hot tub is easy to use and very welcome after a days walking, along with a G&T. We had our shopping dropped of by Sainsbury?s as they deliver to here. Some of the local pubs allow dogs in and they have a wide selection of food of which is very nice and reasonably priced. This cottage does not have a DVD player but has free sat, only problem we found is that it is very spotty, we took an amazon fire stick so had plenty to watch on a night. You can but fire wood for fire from farmer ?5, we used to most nights as it gave a real homely feel. The kitchen is well set up with everything you will need, and it has a dish washer. Lake Coniston you can walk to if you are feeling adventurous but a bit far for the less mobile or elderly. All in all a wonderful place to holiday, stunning views and remote, will definitely look to book again.

Great cottage in a valley with lovely views

We stayed at Tilberthwaite farm in January and couldn't fault the cottage. It had everything we needed, the owners were friendly and the cottage was warm and cosy. Nicely decorated with comfy bed and sofas. Having the hot tub was fantastic even in January! Looks out onto the hills and sheep, and at night the stars were incredible. Perfect for a couple or a couple with two kids (there was a stair gate at the top and a door at the bottom). Bonus that it was a dog friendly cottage and great walking on the doorstep.

Cosy and clean, facilities including the 'hot tub' where excellent. Road to the cottage is narrow and leaving after a night of a bit of snow took care. It was a great break, thanks to the owners.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location. Clean and well presented on arrival, everything you could need provided in the kitchen. Hot tub a real positive after a day of walking and has great views of the mountains and countryside around.

Doreen

Children loved seeing the sheep they would sit and look out of the window

Robert

Such a wonderful property on a working farm, really lovely people in a really lovely place with all you could need in the property. I really appreciated using the hot tub after being on some long walks, it's a fab place and I'm looking forward to returning. Thank you.

The cottage is very cosy and location is excellent. A lot walking trails right outside the doorstep. The scenery is magnificent and you can just sit on the bench outside the house to see the world go by. Only drawback are extremely poor mobile network and wifi but these havent spoilt our holiday.

Caroline

We loved our stay at the cottage. It has everything that we needed, it was super cosy and the location was perfect. We did an online shop to arrive the day we arrived which was a good idea as there are no big supermarkets nearby but the local shops in Coniston have all the essentials that you need. We would definitely recommend to anyone who loves the countryside, walking and peace and quiet. A fantastic holiday.

Lovely location and nice cottage

We have had the most wonderful week at Tilberthwaite farm. Its been our first holiday away from the coast with our sons aged 11 and 14 and it didnt disappoint. The cottage is so comfortable and very well equipped and the hot tub was very welcome particularly for our youngest son who loved it after a day exploring the beautiful area and amazing caves that all start right from the doorstep. WiFi is temperamental and we had no phone signal but that isnt always a bad thing when on holiday!

Richard

Our 3rd time back to the cottage and won't be our last! So peaceful in such a wonderful location! Our 3 year old loved watching the lambs playing in the surrounding fields. Hot tub was amazing in the sunshine too! Lovely and clean as usual.

This is a very rare to find remote cottage in a stunning area of the South Lakes. You can easily park your car on arrival and not have to use it until you leave! There are so many stunning walks and cycle routes in all directions from the cottage doorstep. The hot tub is the game changer for us, its so nice to be able to ease the aches after a long hike on the fells. Ordering an online shopping delivery we use sainsbury to arrive when we first get there is a bonus. Weve loved our annual week here and booked for 2024. Our only request for changes. Maybe update the televisions as current formats are not really user friendly.

Cheryl

The location of the property is amazing and the cottage itself is beautiful , spotlessly clean and with excellent facilities. The garage pictured is now used for storage so parking for a second car might be an issue. Also worth knowing, the hot tub is at the rear of the property and there is no rear door so you have to go around the front which is on a footpath so in the interests of modesty and warmth a robe would be a good idea. There was no welcome pack the folder said due to covid ? not even salt and pepper so make sure to take essentials .

Theresa

This was a perfect cottage for our needs. Brilliant walks and views around the area. The hot tub was a total luxury after a long day out. All the communication and facilities worked perfectly. There is a great pub in Little Langdale which is about 45 mins walk away and the Landlady was very friendly and attentive. Great for dogs, our Cockapoo loved it and the farms dog Mouse was very sociable. The whole cottage was well laid out, presentable and very comfortable. Brilliant place and right at the foot of Weatherlam which is easily accessed via the road and car park. We had views all the way to the coast from the summit. There is a superb walk to Blae Tarn via fell foot farm from the cottage which you can then take to Great Langdale, the Sticklebarn National Trust pub Tea and Cake. Go along the Cumbria way towards Elterwater and back through the woods to Little Langdale then across the River Brathay to Tilberthwaite. 11 odd miles and stunning scenery.

Beautiful little cottage. Hot tub was amazing and just what was needed after a walk in the local hills

Hannah

We loved our stay at High Tilberthwaite. Its the most beautiful spot in a seemingly remote valley, but amazingly close to lots of the best bits of the area. We could have walked from the door every day. The cottage is just right for a winter or summer break, with everything you need for a really comfortable stay. And the hot tub was a delight after a day on the fells. Bliss.

Benjamin

Tilberthwaite Farm Cottage is wellsituated between Coniston and Ambleside, and is placed perfectly for many local walks and fell runs. The hot tub not shown on photos on the listing was excellent, clean and in good working order. The only downside of the cottage is that the WiFi is very temperamental often not working at all which meant we had trouble planning things to do and we had to cancel some workrelated meetings what a shame!. As an additional word of warning for anyone considering bringing work with them, there is no 4G nor phone signal in the cottage itself either. Everything else with the cottage was great with comfy beds, and plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils for cooking.

Lovely setting perfect for us

The cottage was in the best position for the eager hiker, so spot on for myself, hubby and r Border Terrier Bertie. You stated the cottage was dog friendly but your information manual requested the dog to sleep downstairs for r own comfort. To separate Bertie at night from us would have coursed a very disturbed night. We brought r own covers for the bed and sofas. We could tell you had redecorated and undertook replacing the bathroom suite, which l thought was to modern for the lovely little cottage but this is a very minor thing plus very personal to individuals taste The main bedroom suite was alovely colour , one problem unable to use the dressing tables mirror because my hair dryers lead did not reach and the mirror was screwed down. The colour throughout the cottage was cream, it may have been a nice idea to have selected a more suitable colour for the main bedroom. None of the above hindered r amazing holiday. Loved the log burner and hot tub. The sofas were ideal to snuggle down at night after a long day hiking.

Robert

Exceeded expectations in every way. Such a warm, cosy property and much bigger than it looks too. Fantastic location isolated enough to get away from everything but close enough to civilisation if you want it! Amazing views and scenery, constantly changing in the different weather conditions. So many paths to discover right on the doorstep. We stayed over Xmas and arrived to find a tree up and decorated, which was so lovely and welcoming. An absolute treat to have access to a hot tub in the middle of the fells! A great way to start andor end the day we were in there most mornings before walking, and on return stargazing at night, feeling smug in the rain, and at times icy sleet! We will 100 be back. We actually miss it already. Thank you so much

Richard

Second time back to the cottage. It is just simply beautiful! Amazing scenery even in some wet weather! Hot tub is perfect for chilling out in. Only thing is the WiFi can be abit poor at times but everything else is perfect!

Sandra

Lovely setting. So much to explore. We ve walked. Discovered caves. Slate mine history. Open top bus to Grasemere. Alan Bank is a favourite visit. Coniston just a walk away with everything for everyone. Sit by the lake and or partake in water activities. It is our fourth visit to the Lakes. It is the best stress relief.

Natalie

This was our second visit to Tilberthwaite Farm Cottage, we love it there. It's fantastic for what we need and a great base for getting around the Lakes. Amazing to see Mouse again and to meet the new addition, Pig what an absolute cutie. The cottage is comfortable, well equipped and relaxing in the hot tub at the end of a day of hiking and exploring is an absolute bonus. Thanks for having us again, we hope to come back again soon.

Perfect place for relax, looks little different like on the pictures . We spent here lovely week. Lovely and quiet place, away from noisy cities. In cottage you have everything what you need, plus hot tub as something extra used everyday. Broadband was very poor but for as that was benefit. We walk around all days, views was amazing. We thinking about coming here again next year. Just dont believe navigation, read description how to go there and drive carefully. If someone thinking about going there, advise stop thinking just go !!!

Patrick

We absolutely loved our stay at Tilberthwaite, and the photos don't do it justice. The cottage is great, and the views from the hot tub not pictured online are absolutely stunning. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day out. The location of the cottage is amazing, with loads of things to see and do near by, and great walks from the doorstep. I must admit I noticed a slightly odd taste to the water and so bought bottled water. My partner initially drank the tap water and felt a bit unwell afterwards. I don't believe it's a mains supply, so perhaps should be advertised as 'not for drinking'. My only other criticism is that there wasn't enough toilet roll, soap, or kitchen roll, to last a week, so we had to buy our own. This was not the end of the world, but I've never had to do that before in a holiday cottage, and it does seem a bit of a shame when you've paid so much money to stay. In any event, neither issue really affected our stay, and we would definitely go back.

Charlee

Amazing cottage and wonderful little break. Cottage is immaculate and has everything you need! The hot tub was amazing and location was so peaceful and secluded but with plenty of great walks from the doorstop. Would definitely stay again!

3rd consecutive visit to this cottage which says it all. Normally I never like to go back to the same place however there is absolutely nothing out there Inc other websites that comes close to matching Tilberthwaite Cottage. Its a culmination of the cottage, its remote and beautiful location and the amount of stunning walkshikes on offer from the doorstep. Recommend a visit to Yew Tree Farm round the corner which sells renowned meat produce reared on the farm Heritage Meats, Ive never tasted steak as good as that! We also used an app called footpath route planner which helped us to discover walks we never knew existed. Starting and finishing every day in the hot tub with its resident sheep and awesome backdrop is so memorable.

Sylvia

Stunning, beautiful, peaceful location. Very comfortable cottage. Lovely walks from the door.

Sophie

Thank for a fantastic stay. We loved everything about the cottage. Location was amazing. Cottage nice and warm with everything you need. Hot tub was great despite the weather!

Very cosy, thank you for lighting the fire for our arrival. Hot tub has best view we have ever had particularly on starry nights

With beautiful, scenic surroundings Tilberthwaite Farm cottage is the ideal place to stay. Plenty of places to visit, walks to do and pubs with great food. The cottage is spacious with a warm cozy feel to it and had everything we needed in it. The hot tub was lovely bonus. I definitely recommend staying here.

Idyllic cottage in stunning surroundings. Really relaxing place to stay. Several walks right from the door, from easy to strenuous. Walk to Little Langdale particularly recommended. Easy access to Coniston, slightly further to Ambleside. Visited in Christmas week and owners had thoughtfully decorated a Christmas tree in the cottage. Thoroughly recommend.

A great place to kickback and relax. No passing traffic or neighbours, the animals on the farm are happy and quiet at night. Great dark skies for star spotting. The cottage is small, warm, cosy and clean. We took slow cooker with us so we could return to hot and tasty meal. Great walking from the door. Lovely to return to with a glass or 2 of something in the hot tub to ease our muscles and improve our appetites then indoors for hot food, hot log burner and a gentle baste with more beverage! Then off to the comfiest bed and sweet dreams. Would definitely return, can't think of anything to improve this place. If you want crowds, noise, nightlife then don't come here. Leave it free for us please. Resident retired sheepdog Mouse became a great friend.

We had a fabulous week at Tilberthwaite Farm Cottage. The cottage was in a perfect location for walks and was extremely comfortable. My husband and I have never felt so relaxed on a holiday or slept so well. We would really recommend this gorgeous holiday home.

Lovely place and good base for exploring this part of Cumbria. No phone signal and limited wifi was a bonus for us to really feel like we were on holiday. The hot tub was a real bonus and the resident sheepdog Mouse was a hit with the kids.

Stunning location, lovely clean and well maintained cottage. Will definitely return!
