Beautiful little cottage
Fantastic location for hikes from the front door. Very small but everything we needed. The long driveway was a bit of a challenge for our car but well worth it to be in a tranquil spot away from the main road. Overall a perfect little cosy cottage!

Wonderful cottage in a perfect location
Lovely cottage, well-equipped. Wonderful position for walking straight from the cottage, and the valley with its birdsong and red squirrels is a joy. The track up to the cottage has some slightly challenging moments for a standard small car that’s low to the ground, but we managed fine. Overall, a magical cottage in a magical setting.

Glencoyne Valley Cottage Review
This is a superb cottage with great views and hiking opportunities. The owner, Leon, is very responsive and helpful. I was delayed in my arrival to the cottage and Leon helped me with driving directions to the cottage given over the phone while I drove well after midnight in Cumbria.

Amazing!
We stayed as a family of four for a week. Stunning location with incredible views. The house is an old miners cottage which has been tastefully refurbished with everything we needed and feels like you’ve gone back in time. The kids loved watching the local wildlife including red squirrels and a wide variety of birds. The house was positioned well and a great base to explore the Lake District.

What a gem!
We loved staying at Seldom Seen; what a gem! Quiet and peaceful; we saw a woodpecker, 2 red squirrels and many birds in the garden. We did some nice hiking (even up to the Sheffield Pike from the cottage) as well as horse riding. And we went to the travellers rest for some nice pub food. Once more thank you so much! We will definitely recommend your place to anyone wanting to visit the Lake District 👌.

Lovely little cottage
Property was clean and comfortable. Nice little garden. Lovely view and we saw red squirrels in the garden. We booked for 3 adults not realising the children's room actually had small beds. Luckily the guest staying in that room was not tall. Other than that we had no problems and we had an enjoyable few days staying in the cottage.

Escape to the Lakes
Absolutely loved our 3 night stay during May half term with our two daughters aged 8 and 11. The cottage is small as expected, but very charming and well equipped. We loved the seclusion and amazing views of the mountains and Ullswater. The girls loved watching the red squirrels and walking amongst the sheep. During our stay we did a 5 mile round trip walk to the Aira Force waterfall, which was easy going and well worth avoiding the busy car park there. We also drove 30 mins to Ambleside and took the boat to Bowness on Windermere where we had lunch overlooking the lake. So much more we could have done with more time, but also just so relaxing pootling around the cottage. Wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!

Return visit.
For me this is a very special place. This was our third visit. Mark was very helpful and easy to contact. This place is a true peace haven full of wild life and nature. There is only one issue and that it says for 4 adults. If the adults don't mind sleeping in bunkbeds and are around 5ft 5" there is no problem. Other than that it was a wonderful holiday with so much to see and do at our fingertips. We were also .blessed with absolutely fantastic weather. Thanks Mark and Leon for a most enjoyable stay.

brilliant location
What a beautiful location and lovely little cottage. We were worried about the size of the bunk beds as we didn't realise they were not full size but my daughter and friend (5'11" and 5'9" found them very comfortable). The track up to the house was more of a problem. Glad our car has lots of clearance - a small car would not have managed those pot holes!

The only issue we had is the bunk beds are about 5'10" in length.
As stated bunk beds are very short. Also I booked as two adults and a child, but the second adult was my son as he's 16, but they'd made up the double bed and only one bunk bed. No a major problem, but just make sure you're clear.

Gemütliches Cottage in einem wunderschönen Tal
Das Cottage ist eines von 7 in einem langgezogenen Gebäude und hat einen eigenen Gartenbereich. Ullswater/Glenridding ist fußläufig erreichbar. Die Einrichtung ist sehr gemütlich, die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war prima: immer gut erreichbar und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Tipps und Beschreibungen sind sehr genau, aber auch genau zu beachten (Handtücher sind mitzubringen, Schlüsselkasten nicht leicht zu finden). Parken schwierig, da wenig Platz und nicht pro Cottage reserviert/markiert.

Rustic cabin In Beautiful location
For the most part, this is a great place to stay, though it has some quirks that visitors should know about in advance. The location is absolutely stunning and very peaceful and it is a great base for hiking around Glenridding. The road up to the cottage is pretty rough and narrow, but it is passable (and very beautiful). The cottage itself is cozy. The owner sent detailed and helpful instructions before we arrived which were very helpful. The owner did want us to bring our own towels, which was a bit inconvenient because we do not live in the UK but might not be an issue for most visitors. On the whole, this was great value (much cheaper than other 2 bedrooms in the area) and a fabulous location for exploring the Lake District. I would recommend it.

Heavenly location
A charming period cottage, sensitively updated and very well-eqipped. Fantastic location near Ullswater north of Glenridding. The track to the cottage is rough, but the worst bit is just after the cattle grid - if I could get up it in a 1967 MGB, cars with normal ground clearance will have no problem! The new patio area has extensive views and there were 15 species of birds in the garden as well as the red squirrels. The kitchen had all we needed to cook all week and the cottage stayed cool in the unusually hot weather.
