"This cottage is perfect for a relaxed stay in a lovely part of the of Lake District. The cottage itself is so well maintained and is immaculately clean! The kitchen has lovely dishes, utensils etc and a washing machine and separate dryer which is very handy. The gardens are great, with parking right outside the door. The little village, which is only a 5 min walk away has all you need from a small supermarket to an outdoor heated pool and playground. I would recommend this place to anyone! "

"Can hardly wait until our return trip to Brackenber Cottage!! We had such a grand time touring around the beautiful Lake District and venturing into Scotland. The cottage was a beautiful place to return to in the evening to relax and unwind after a long day of sight seeing. Such peaceful country surroundings! Our host Mal was so helpful in giving us tips on what to see and do! Canada Loves The Lakes and Brackenber Cottage! Will definatley be telling all our friends "the" go to destination for their next holiday!" Thanks again Mal!

"Three generations of our family stayed at Brackenber Cottage, and we all had a great time. The cottage has everything you need and more. All the rooms are beautifully decorated and furnished and the needs of the visitors has been really well thought through. The Owner was there to meet us on our arrival and showed us around the cottage and answered any queries we had, which was great. All the bedrooms are really well laid out and very comfortable and the whole house was spotless. If its a wet and miserable day and you dont wont to go far there are plenty of books to read, games to play and Dvd's to watch, which was a really nice touch. We all want to go back as it felt like a real home from home and the area is great for exploring the lakes and all the fantastic scenery around. You can walk out of the cottage drive turn right and within a few minutes you reach a beautiful beck great for the kids to go fishing and to have a paddle. We have stopped in lots of cottages over the years all over the country but Brackenber has to be on of the best".

 "Our 3 night stay here was wonderfull. The personal touch from Malcolm was most appreciated.  The cottage is warm, cosy and inviting. As a group of six staying at Brackenber Cottage we considered the cottage as excellent, very clean comfortable rooms with attention to detail, by providing the little things like a torch and first aid kit; even though we had no need to use them it was comforting to know they were there. I would like to make special mention of the owner Malcolm for his warm welcome and genuine care to make sure we settled in okay,as a group we appreciated that personal touch very much".
