Hardriggs Bank Cottage Reviews

A warm welcome was waiting for me and my dog in the form of some lovely thoughtful starter groceries and treats for the dog. The cottage is very well equipped, warm and comfortable. A great deal of thought has gone into ensuring a relaxing time with plenty of information of local eating places. The bathroom is really luxurious. There is stunning scenery and good walking.
Beautiful cosy cottage, with everything you could want in it and more. Tracey & Paul were lovely and very accommodating. We will definitely be returning to this cottage.

Tracey and Paul have created a lovely modern , bright and meticulous flat in a great spot. They are the perfect hosts there to help if needed and very friendly and accommodating. We hope to visit again soon . Dave and Kasia

We had our perfect holiday. Ideal for exploring the lakes, whilst being in a quiet spot. Loved sitting outside in the afternoonevening for a glass of wine. The property has everything we needed and even stuff we didnt know we needed and was extremely clean. Our hosts couldnt have been more helpful when suggesting places to visit and were so friendly towards us and our dog. We couldnt recommend this property enough and cannot wait to go back.
