The cottage is absolutely beautiful. My partner went down with a virus as soon as we got there, and if you have to be sick on holiday, this is the place to do it. Plenty of room for both of us, and the couch was ridiculously comfortable for me to sleep on. Happily, we were able to extend our stay until she felt better. Jenia was very helpful and sympathetic. I loved being near a small town where I could shop for cooking at home in a well-provided kitchen - and the gorgeous Lanercost Priory such a short drive away for some solo touristing.

Very big cottage for two. Comfortable and warm.

absolutely amazing place, we do travel a lot and normally don't do reviews but this time... probably the best place we ever stayed in... really well equipt and situated on edge of very small village (no shops, no street lights, very friendly locals), just perfect
if you want to switch off and take break from stress, this place is for you... perfect location for hikers, cyclists and dogs... we loved every minute spent there... even checked availability to stay week longer but my partner couldn't have off...
PS: pictures don't make it justice, that's how pretty it is and i've already recommended this place to few friends

We booked this as a last minute visit to family in the area and we were impressed with the location and the size of the property for two people. Warm, comfortable and so much space for us and our two small dogs. Really well equipped and a welcome of fresh eggs and homemade jams. We will certainly try to book again in the future when the need arises.

This is a lovely and very spacious cottage with excellent facilities, which was warm and comfortable in every way. It has its own enclosed garden and guests can also access the owners' orchard and small wood which was great for short dog walks. The owners are next door and extremely helpful and kind but not at all intrusive. The little village of Farlam is fine for wandering down the lane to, and Talkin Tarn is a short walk away. Other walks are a short drive away. Highly recommended.

Ideal solitude
An amazing place to stay . The actual accommodation is much bigger than we expected which surprised us as we entered the property.
We were greeted by the owner who made us feel very welcome , and then we were left alone but knowing that we could ask for anything we needed .
I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this great property if you just want to escape , such a very quiet and peaceful place.

A peaceful getaway in a quality cottage with excellent surroundings for my dog
The cottage exceeded my expectations it was large and spacious with everything you could need. Jenia was around if I needed anything and she was helpful and understanding regarding my recent bereavement.
Staying for a week has helped me begin to repair myself and I wish me and my dog could have stayed longer a true home from home.
The garden was perfect for my dog as were the orchard and woods, she really enjoyed exploring these.

Excellent location
The cottage is ideally situated on the outskirts of the village and benefits from peace and quiet for a totally relaxing holiday. Surprisingly much more spacious than the photos show. The large secure garden was perfect for letting our dog wander freely with no worries. Many walks on the doorstep but these were along minor roads so dogs need to be on lead but lots of off lead walks a short drive away. Can recommend Gelt Woods, Talkin Fell (cattle for a short distance) and many parts of Hadrian’s wall, again some cattle may be encountered along the route. We had a fabulous meal at The Duke of Cumberland at Castle Carrock and food served all day!
Unfortunately we did find the bed extremely uncomfortable and lumpy pillows which need replacing, however well equipped kitchen with everything we needed and nice lounge area. Overall despite the bed our stay was relaxing and enjoyable and Jenia the owner was on hand at all times without being obtrusive.

Wonderful stay
We had a fantastic stay here. Was the perfect base to explore the area with lots of great walks located within an hour’s drive away (there are also closer walks too!) We made good use of the bath to relax our tired muscles! The cottage is massive for 2 people with lots of room for a yoga mat. The kitchen is really well equipped. All in all we had a fantastic stay here and hope to return!

What a gem we found
The property was far more spacious than the photos implied, a very well equipped and comfortable cottage in an extremely quiet location ideally situated for exploring the area. The large fenced in garden is ideal if like us you have a Bernese, he loved it. Can highly recommend and would certainly book to stay here again.

Calf Close Cottage
If you want nice quiet surroundings with no hustle and bustle, this is the place for you. A lovely cottage which matched its listing, a host that was available but left you alone, and also a short few miles to some eateries, small towns and historical sites - which ever suits - all in all a very relaxing few days, mixed in with some good walks and good food

Stay at Calf's Close
We had a lovely stay at Calf's Close. The cottage was very spacious and extremely well equipped. We got a starter pack of freshly laid eggs, home grown fruit and preserves. The area was a good base for exploring the borders and the Lakes without too much travel. Jenia was very helpful when we needed anything and yet very mindful of our privacy.
A lovely week despite mixed weather.

So peaceful & relaxing!!
The cottage was wonderful, well equipped & clean as well as comfy. We immediately felt at home, and couldn’t believe how spacious the cottage was. We especially loved the garden that had the sun all day until about 8pm and the sounds of the sheep & cows was a delight. Jenia was on site if required but not intrusive. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture, fresh eggs & homemade jams.. yum! We enjoyed our stay here and exploring the surrounding sites of talkin tarn, gelt woods and Brampton with all the antique shops to name a few. Overall, highly recommended. Thanks Jenia 😃

Sunny Summer Break

Ideal location
A beautiful cottage with plenty of space. There is everything you need as it is so well equipped. If I had to criticise one thing it would be that the fridge freezer is in the hallway away from the kitchen. When making a cuppa you had go for the milk, then return the milk. Same when cooking everything seem to be in the fridge. Apart from that an enjoyable place to stay.

A short break in Cumbria recharged the batteries
The property was correctly listed as being for two people but, being a converted barn, it was surprisingly spacious. Not only that but it was spotless, very well equipped and in a lovely part of the country ideal for someone looking for a quiet break away from the crowd. Jenia, the hostess, was a great hostess and I have no worries recommending this to others looking for a peaceful break in this area.

Warm welcome
You can be assured of a warm welcome when you arrive at Calf Close Cottage. Jenia is the perfect host who allows you time to settle in before she knocks on the door to check that all is okay.
The accommodation is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped and the private garden is an extra bonus.
Certainly, a place to come back to.

Beautiful peaceful area. Delightful wood to take our dog for a short walk.
Could do to receive directions on how to get to the cottage and whether you need to do anything specific on arrival at time of booking.
Garden and garden furniture really needs some attention

Country Retreat
The peace, lovely country garden with so many birds, and walks from the door along country lanes with beautiful views and lovely sunsets, make this a real country retreat. It’s in a great place for exploring Hadrian’s Wall and other sights.

Farlam
All round very nice experience. Spacious dog friendly accommodation in a lovely location that includes a great walk on the doorstep around a pretty Tarn. Very enjoyable stay and an excellent location for forays into Northumberland and Scotland. The owner was very pleasant and accommodating. I would recommend this property to all dog lovers.

Peaceful and roomy
We enjoyed our stay at Calf Close Cottage very much. The cottage was very spacious and had everything we needed. The eggs and homemade jam left by the host was a lovely welcome gift. There was a lovely selection of books to read and also the information about the local area and things to do was very useful. We loved the wood burner even if we did feel a tad warm as it heated up nicely! We thought £8 was a bit steep to replenish the wood so we found a place and bought our own bag of wood. The garden was very spacious and secure for our dogs and they enjoyed having a run and sniff about. There was also a country park about a mile from the property which we had a lovely wander round. We would definitely return.
