Hayloft Cottage, 1 High Lane Farm, Newbiggin on lune, Cumbria, CA17 4NY

We travelled to the Yorkshire Dales for Christmas and decided to extend our stay. So was looking for a last minute rental - we came across Hayloft cottage - what a jewel. Just 4 miles from the well serviced town Kirkby Stephen (fab butchers, bakers, chemist, co-op), Hayloft cottage was a wonderful find. Exceptionally clean, well equipped kitchen, good bathroom facilities with a great shower, a good size living area, great bedroom (we had 2 6ft wide beds made up - but the room will accommodate multiple configurations) and a warm and cozy home. The owners Diane and Michael are wonderful hosts - friendly, informative and nothing too much trouble. The views from the upstairs living area are fabulous and the cottage is in a great location for walks with (or without!) dogs. I cannot praise this home enough - great location for Lake District and the Penine Way area and the Yorkshire Dales. We had a fabulous new year stay and hope to return in the not too distant future.

made so welcome by Diane and Michael absolutely spotless accommodation I can honestly say they have thought of everything to make your stay perfect , they work so hard making your time here memorable , I would definitely recommend and will certainly be coming back . So chilled out here do not want to leave thanks Diane and Michael,Peter sarah and the whippets

We were meeting up with family over Christmas in Ravenstonedake & Hayloft Cottage was our base for 4 nights. We only used it to sleep.

The cottage is one of three on the farm. It's cosy, warm & functional. It could probably do with some updates in its Decor.

It has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. We didn't explore the surrounding area when we were there in December.

The entrance to the cottages is through a tight turn from the road and it was made more difficult by someone parking their car opposite the entrance (we scratched our car due to this). There was another tight turn before getting to the parking area of Hayloft. If you have a large car this prove to be difficult !

A lovely, comfortable cottage with stunning views and great surroundings. The cottage was clean, comfy and had all necessary amenities. The owners are really friendly and hospitable. Will certainly stay again.

We enjoyed a weeks stay with our 2 dogs at this excellent cottage, it has walks straight from the door and surrounded by open fields which our dogs loved. A very well presented, cosy peaceful cottage with upside down accommodation to appreciate the great views. Great walks in the nearby villages of Ravenstonedale & Newbiggin on Lune with good pubs which all allow dogs and serve great food. Very friendly & helpful owners...will highly recommend this cottage and will return again.

Lovely cottage with great owners who were really nice and very helpful to us. Huge fenced off field which our dog, Shadow, absolutely loved. Definitely would recommend for people who want some peace, quiet, amazing views in the day and star-gazing at night. Two dog friendly pubs, only a 30 mins scenic walk away, both with nice menus and decor. If you like a steak then the Kings Head is a must! A Merry Christmas was had by all. Many thanks to Diane and Michael for our stay xxx

A comfortable cottage in a perfect location. A warm welcome from a friendly family, 2 local pubs within walking distances offering good food and entertainment.
