The Hayloft, Low Snab, Newlands, Cumbria, CA12 5TU

Stayed here for a couple of weeks through spring and can't wait to come back!! Dog friendly, clean and fresh rooms. Well stocked kitchen and the log fire made the evenings really cosy and homely. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. I saw the bad review about the beds but I thought they were super comfy. The cottage has safe parking and you can walk straight onto the fells for gorgeous walks such as the Newlands round. Its just set back enough that you don't get the masses of tourists on the same paths. Have already booked again for next year. I've attached some pictures from the walks we did from the peaks next to the cottage.

Arrived to one of the most stunning areas, the cottage however was disappointing-no soap in the cottage at all to be able to wash our hands before unpacking, lots & lots of flies. The beds were extremely hard to the extent we left earlier than planned. 3 glasses for the 4 of us. Beautiful area but the cottage could be so much better. Definitely 5* location but not 5* accommodation.

We arrived late due to heavy snow and a log fire was waiting for us.

Lambs were being born. Birds constantly visited the numerous feeders.

We were made very welcome and John helped us out when our breakdown company failed to arrive until six hours after they were contacted.

We intend to return.

John & Fiona live in the working farm next door and they are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Some people might regard the location as a bit remote but if you look at the map before you book you should know what to expect i.e. it's quiet and secluded with picturesque, ea

To Fiona and John apologies for this belated review of the Hayloft in Braithwaite from John, Celia and family who visited in early November last year. The Hayloft is a tremendous holiday cottage displaying all the attributes any guest could possibly wish for. From the welcome on day one to the time of our departure our seven day stay was a wonderful experience.

Fiona and John were perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Together with our black labrador pup Cole we all loved the isolation of the location and our many local walks (even in the rain) w

From the moment we arrived all was perfect. The location is stunning and far enough 'out of the way' to be wonderfully quiet. But close enough to village shop and further afield to not feel cut off. Walks from your back door and the hills all around. Excellent hosts on a working farm. The property is 5 star and equipped to a very high standard.. There is a log burner to die for, with plenty of fuel, along with oil central heating. A spacious & homely environment. Both bedrooms have roomy en suite bathrooms, and great showers.
