Short break in a wonderful cottage
We had a really great stay at Geltsdale East Wing, with some really unexpected bonus features - leaving aside the excellent cottage for a moment, the views from the windows over the gardens to the surrounding landscape were stunning - and only surpassed by the sight of deer, pheasants, herons and ducks making their frequent visits to the grounds.
The cottage itself is excellent - with everything you could wish for on a break away. There being just two of us, we had use of the first floor of the wing, entrance being via a private door and staircase. On entering the accommodation proper, a large reception area provides access to a utility / cloakroom with washing machine, heating boiler, and plenty of space for shoes, coats and hats. The reception area also opens into a large light and airy hall (from which stairs ascend to the second floor (if there are more of you staying), and provides access to the large double bedroom (with en-suite shower-room) and the kitchen diner from which a separate lounge opens via double doors.
The kitchen diner is very well equipped - a large table and chairs is the focus of the dining area, but attention is soon drawn to the large windows from which the previously mentioned views can be absorbed. The kitchen includes a dishwasher as well as all the appliances you might wish to make use of. If you prefer to eat out, there are plenty of good eateries - as well as being aware of local hostelries, we discovered a number of farm shop cafes and garden centres providing good quality food.
The rooms in the East wing are spacious and full of light; the wing was well equipped, warm and exactly what we needed for a relaxing break away. Parking was easy too - we have a Citreon Berlingo crewvan and were pleased to find plenty of room to turn as well as park.
Before closing, mention must be made of Gail and the team at Cumbrian Cottage Holidays, who were so helpful in ensuring that our holiday was as enjoyable and relaxing as it good be - communication and support were excellent, thank you.
If we are up in this area again, Geltsdale East Wing will be our first choice for accommodation and we strongly recommend it.
