Return stay

Just like last year the cottage is immaculate and extremely well set up. Perfect base for a break with my dog from which to explore the western lakes and coast. Howard & Jen were helpful as always - many thanks.

EXCELLENT!

I stayed for 5 nights with my dog and cannot fault the property, location (the Western Lakes are so much quieter than the rest of the Lake District) or the owners Howard and Jen for whom nothing is too much trouble. I certainly plan to return. Thank you.

First Class Hosts and property.

La’al Cottage is a lovely homely cottage with everything you need for a perfect stay. Howard and Jen have really thought about everything you might need to the smallest detail. The welcome pack had loads of home cooked goodies to die for and also wine, beer and basics like milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and condiments. There were even dog snacks for our labradors. Howard gave us excellent written directions for finding the cottage and also lists of places to visit, local pubs, restaurants and cafes, which was really helpful. Howard also came to check everything was in order when we first arrived and we then saw him to chat to when we were walking the dogs around the village. Greysouthen is a quiet village which is a great location for visiting the Eastern lakes, which is what we did whilst there. You could also visit the Cumbrian Coast or local Towns like Cockermouth. All in all we received a very warm welcome to La’al Cottage (and not just from the very effective central heating!).

About the host

Hosted by Howard and Jen

Though neither of us were born in Cumbria we moved into the village over 30 years ago and still live in the same village as La'al Cottage ( about 400metres away) . So we're normally around if you have any questions or require ideas of where to go and what to see during your stay.
