Lovely Stay
By CJ on 14-Feb-2025A beautiful cottage set in a quiet village with a great little pub around the corner with friendly staff and good food. Situated just a short distance from Appleby with its lovely church and handful of shops which provide all the essentials and more. Margaret, the host, couldn't have been nicer and the thoughtful welcome bits & bobs were much appreciated and a lovely touch. The log burner is a fab bonus and kept the cottage toasty and cozy. Bliss :)
A real home away from home
By Adam & Andy on 21-Sep-2024We had a lovely relaxing holiday at Grooms Cottage. The cottage is a real home away from home and we had everything we needed for a weeks break walking in the surrounding hills, with our dog, and also visiting local towns such as Appleby. Welcoming gifts of wine and delicious biscuits were very much appreciated as was the plentiful supply of fuel for the traditional multi-fuel stove, which kept us warm and cosy throughout the week. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to unwind and get away from it all. We will be back!
The best place to stay

Very nice cottage
By Fran on 13-Jul-2024We really loved our stay at this cottage, thanks Margaret for the complimentary wine & delicious biscuits. The cottage had everything you need, it was very clean, had a really comfy bed, nice bathroom with electric shower and although we didn’t need to put the multi stove on it was so good to know that there was fuel in the bunker outside. The garden to the front is very well kept and dog friendly and in a quiet location, it was really lovely just sitting outside in the warm sunshine. There is a good local pub (Masons Arms) that we ate in serving excellent food and ale. Plenty of walks in the area and some virtually from the doorstep and in a good location with Appleby only a few miles away with places to eat and drink there. Also good location for visiting places such as Pooley Bridge, Keswick and Kirkby Stephen etc.
Beautiful cottage in great location
