  Just returned from a wonderful 1 week stay at 1 cherry tree cottage.

  As others have said it's a beautiful cottage with fantastic views and lovely friendly hosts living next door.Angie even came round to show us how to light the fire properly as ours kept going out :-). With the house being just off a main road there are no paths to walk the dog from the house itself but the garden is big enough to let them run around which our cockapoo loved. As a base for exploring the South lakes you could not wish for a better accommodation or for more friendly hosts. We used an app called All Trails which showed us plenty of walks near by and Haverigg beach is fantastic to walk the dog as its huge when the tide goes out. We would highly recommend 1 Cherry Tree to anyone thinking of stopping in this area. Although we didn't get the weather to sit outside in the rear garden, it would be a fantastic spot on a warm night to take in those spectacular views.

  This is an ideal cottage for anyone wishing to explore the NW coast, the Western Lakes or the area to the South around Ulverston and that’s exactly why we chose it.

  Good rail links from Millom will take you up the coast or a short car journey will get you to Coniston. The roads while we were staying werent busy so we avoided the usual traffic jams associated with Grasmere or Ambleside. Hodbarrow RSPB site is just a couple of miles away by car and is an interesting coastal walk. The owners who live next door are very helpful and left a generous basket of goodies for us including Easter chocolates. They’re on hand to offer advice re places to visit. I’ve given 5 stars for cleanliness for other properties we’ve stayed in but this was literally sparkling and it’s really well equipped. The views from the huge sitting room and equally huge main bedroom were beautiful and an additional bonus. We very much enjoyed our visit.

  I've been staying in cottages for around 20 years.

  This, without a doubt is the best property that I have ever stayed in. The owners were very generous with the disposable items that they provided, i.e. toilet paper, hand wash etc... and the kitchen was one of the best I've ever seen in terms of pots, pans etc... In previous properties it's been hard to cook a meal for 4 people with what has been provided whereas here it was easy. A great array of classic video games (PS3), board and jigsaws were perfect for the rainy days and the amount of pamphlets for the local area were more than any service station I've visited. This is genuinely the first property that was rated with 5 stars that truly deserved it. In terms of the property itself, beautifully decorated, very spacious with a lovely garden and a beautiful view.

  Honestly the most beautiful property, better than the pictures!

  I spent the weekend here with my family and we were blown away by the property and the service. The cottage is enormous and has more than enough room for 6 people! I get the impression that had you been on a different rental website they could have stated that this property sleeps 10+ people, which makes it feel all the more luxurious. The owners were waiting for us on the drive, as it is quite difficult to find, and all the fires had been lit so that it was lovely and cosy when we came in from the cold. There was a wonderful welcome hamper for us and a little one for the dog too. They provided useful information for our stay. The facilities were great and to be honest, my Mum did not want to leave. A truly wonderful location for a family weekend away!

  Lovely cottage had a great time saw plenty of red squirrels.

  Housekeeping needs some attention when we arrived there were spiders and cobwebs in most room corners and windows and flies bits of plastic wrapping and dirt from previous guests sitting rm the worst lampshade and bottom of little round table lots of cobwebs and all the skirting boards dusty I know it’s hard to keep on top of it all being a old cottage I manage old thatched holiday cottages. Toaster tray full of crumbs lots dirt under microwave beside dining rm cabinet by squirrel bin lots of cobwebs. Maybe leave a few logs for guests to start one fire on arrival and information on where to buy extra for there stay . Some nice bath sheets instead of standard bath towels would make it feel a little more five star but these are just small negatives .
