One of the best property’s I’ve stay in for a long time! I will be back.

Pros: What a find! This spacious and well decorated room was clean, warm and comfortable despite staying during a storm. The attention to detail has been thoroughly considered by the owners. A perfect mix of luxury and country!

Cons: Definitely not a bad thing but something to note… Double check the address booking.com gives you, It originally took us 100m down the road. It was easy to rectify and the property is well signposted, but if you are tired after a long drive like we were it could be easily missed.

Absolutely perfect, beautiful, clean and cannot fault a single thing!

Pros: Everything! The room was impeccable; clean, cozy, nicely decorated & smelled incredible (the rhubarb diffuser!) the coffee machine was a great little treat for the morning, and I can’t leave out the flat screen TV with Netflix included! Such an unexpected luxury! Cleanliness was perfect, the bed was so so comfortable, great bathroom & shower. The sheepfold room suited me so well, I love sheep!! Nice views of the horse field too, I had a little visitor neighing outside my window! Absolutely perfect and cannot fault this place one bit.

Wonderful stay!

Pros: The room was perfectly clean, comfy, cosy and came with everything you would need for your stay e.g. tea making facilities, microwave, toaster. The host was really friendly with recommended walks, places to eat and answered our questions quickly and was happy to help. Us and our dogs loved it…a gem of a find and we’d love to come back!

Cons: You could hear people in the other rooms joining…however this was only a small thing and wouldn’t put us off staying here again.

Pros: Large, well equipped property (The Farmhouse) in a lovely location. Perfect for our get away with friends. All amenities worked well and the property was as described. The Mawson family were very helpful and responsive to all requests. Some great walks available in the local area and within easy reach of local towns (Keswick, Cockermouth etc). Would definitely stay at Highside Farm again and would thoroughly recommend Highside Farm to others.
