  • "We were looking for something 'Away from it all' we certainly found it here!"

    Fantastic location to explore the Fells. We were blessed with the most amazing weather too! Can't thank Jane + Geoff enough for their very warm welcome and all the treats they left for us which really made us feel at Home :) GREAT place! GREAT Hosts!

  • "The cottage was very comfortable and clean, and easily slept 4 people."

    It was very convenient to exploring the northern lakes in the Lake District.

  • "Cosy cottage in a quiet location about 1 mile from Heskett Newmarket where there is a very good pub serving meals."

    The cottage was very clean and well equipped for 2 people and our dog. Lovely garden surrounded by fields with sheep & lambs so not secure for our inquisitive dog.

  • "Had the listing described the twin room as a mezzanine then we would not have booked this property."

    We visited as a family of 4 with two small boys aged 4 and 6. As their room was a mezzanine, once they had gone to sleep we were unable to use the living room as the noise of chat or TV would have woken them. The wifi only works in the kitchen. Not a huge deal for us, more of a minor inconvenience. The hosts however are lovely and could not have been more hospitable. Even being kind enough to lend us some ground coffee until we could get to the shops the next day. The property was also impeccably clean and in a wonderful, quiet spot a short drive from Hesket Newmarket.

  • "Gardener’s cottage maybe small but it’s very cosy!"

    The cottage is attached to Jane & Geoff’s farm house, but the large garden is all yours during your stay, it was ideal for our dog and sitting outside at the table or on the bench ( our dog Dylan is a sprockapoo ) we found the garden very secure, but our dog knows not to go out of the garden. There was every thing we needed in the cottage for our ten day stay. If there is anything you need Jane and Geoff are on hand. It’s an ideal base for exploring the Lake District. There’s a pub and village shop within walking distance in Hesket Newmarket. We’d have no hesitation of returning to Gardeners Cottage. Di & Norman

  • "Lovely comfortable cottage in glorious countryside."

    Great to be able to take our dog on his first holiday . Everything we needed for a short Lakes break. Very friendly hosts. Might be worth adding that this is not a location for anyone who needs guaranteed connectivity.

  • "The property is not where it is located on the Sykes web site."

    It is about half a mile away, Luckily not too much of a problem as we could still walk to our friends house near by. The owner was lovely and the cottage was perfect for the two of us. But not sure I would Sykes again.

  • "Really nice cottage and very nice people, felt peaceful and was quiet."

    An ideal place to stay. I wrote a message in the guest book that was incorrect. I wrongly thought that the owner had turned off the electricity before we left to remind us to leave on time. I later learned that was a power-cut and had a...Doh moment. I can only apologise to the owner.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Gardeners Cottage in such beautiful surroundings."

    The cottage itself is small but very clean and well equipped. The Garden area is idea for relaxing or playing with small children or a dog .As long as you are aware that the bedrooms and en-suite are small you will have a perfect holiday . It certainly didn’t spoil our stay.

  • "The ad says 2 bathrooms, but there is only the en suite which is tiny."

    The en suite is so small you can hardly dry yourself after a shower. The shower was extremely slippery and there is nothing to grab if you slip. The bed was up against the wall so the person sleeping on that side of the bed could only get out by climbing over the other person. The bed could not be pulled away from the wall as there was not enough room. Anyone else staying in the cottage needing the bathroom during the night has to enter the bedroom to use the en suite. AS THERE IS ONLY ONE BATHROOM NOT TWO. The garden is shared with owner and it is immaculate. Pesonally we were nervous to let out dog into the garden in case he damage the plants when chasing the ball. Also, and this is purely a personal opinion, it is not secure garden. My dog is only small but he can jump and would have easily been able to jump the wall to get in the next field, which contained sheep. There is a road that boarders the end of the cottage garden and the fence would be easy for any small dog to get through. Very often the garden gate to the garden was left open. This lead into the open farm yard on out onto the road. The cottage was clean, warm and contained everything you needed, the owner was pleasant and extremely helpful. However, I am sorry to say, due to the size of the bathroom and the unsecure garden I would not come back.

    The property has only one en suite shower room . There is no mention of two bathrooms on the website just the one. Property Owner

About the location

CALDBECK

Wigton 7.5 miles; Carlisle 12 miles; Keswick 16 miles; Cockermouth 17 miles.

The charming Cumbrian village of Caldbeck is situated on the northern fringes of the Lake District National Park and is surrounded by beautiful moorland and fells. It’s a classic stone built village with a church, pub, village green and duck pond. The church dates back to the 12th century and is famous for being the resting place of the renowned huntsman John Peel. Although in every sense a ‘traditional working village’, the local craft centre at Priest Mill and the riverside walks to the Howk gorge, draw visitors to Caldbeck. The village is an ideal base for the northern Lakes, the market town of Keswick, as well as Lakes Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. The natural beauty of the Solway coast, well-known for its golf courses and the town of Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth are close by, whilst also within driving distance is the cathedral city of Carlisle, Hadrian’s Wall and the Scottish Borders.
