Lovely stay at Owl Cottage. Impeccably clean, although slightly damp smelling. Bed large and comfy, very close to pub and centre of Appleby. Shower was good. Could do with a second small bowl for cereal etc in the kitchen although otherwise it was well-equipped. Decor was a bit dated and mismatched but this didn't take away from the overall positive stay.

Owner was very helpful and kind. Property was great and comfortable and in a beautiful location. It would have been perfect if there was internet - because it was a working trip.

Lovely property, well cared for but has limitations, which could be overcome. King size bed, but very soft so rolling towards each other; one of us ended up sleeping on the sofa, which has limited comfort and the pillows were like bricks. 2 Large singles might be better. Good kitchen, which we always search for as one of us is Gluten Intolerant - BUT (1) no oven trays, (2) Tiny frying pan, (3) No door on kitchen and no extractor and smoke alarm just outside kitchen entrance so constantly going off !!!. And (4) oven had obviously not been cleaned properly in a long time as on the first use, we smoked the house out! Lastly the heating needs sorting out (probably the boiler pressure dropping) as it was only luke-warm. Would we recommend it and stay again? YES, definitely. The owner just needs to sort out the minor issues. Two good eating places as well we tried - The Crown and Cushion at the bottom of the hill 5 mins walk from the house, great meals, good portions, Gluten Free choices and sensibly priced. And the other is new, but was a truly amazing Indian, also Gluten Free and not the usual brown muck with everything! It's called the 7eventy1 tucked away on 9 Bridge Street. Don't book for Gypsy week though!

We had the best time staying at owl cottage it was clean,well equipped and right in the centre of appleby. We found the correspondence with Angela very easy and she was so helpful when chatting to hercabd in the handwritten letter she sent us. We were informed that a small car could park at the door but found our toyota avensis estate fitted just fine. The bed was really comfortable and i have say the fact there is no light coming in the bedroom at night was a delight. Fantastic cottage i cant wait to re visit.

We had a wonderful stay at this perfect cottage. It was two blocks to the town center where there was several pubs and a small grocery store. Our personal favorite pub was Crown and Cushion. Some of the best food we have had in England. There were also a few cafes close by, but we did not go to them. The bed was very comfortable and the cottage was very quiet. Full kitchen and full size refrigerator. Lots of hot water for the shower. The living room had lots of seating with a table and chairs for two, a rocking chair, and an L-shaped couch. The gas fire place was a nice feature and easy to operate. Very fun to learn from residents at St Ann’s Almshouse next door that this cottage was originally built in the 17th century as the almshouse community room. It was centrally located for travel throughout Cumbria. I would gladly stay here again.

My stay at Angela’s cottage was lovely, everything i needed for my trip up to the lakes. A large comfy bed and cosy lounge with fire and all very clean. Angela was super responsive and helpful in regards to check in and all round great value!

A beautiful little cottage superbly located close to the centre of this historic town. Near to shops and services. A wonderful relaxing stay.

Pleasant property well placed
