Comfortable accommodation.

Comfortable accommodation. A little out of the way, but good for our purposes. No mobile phone signal is always a problem in rural areas. The shower needs modernising but usable. The owners were on hand to provide advice when needed. Would use again to visit family.

Very nice short stay.

Very nice short stay. Rooms are bigger than they look in the pictures. Very comfortable and cozy. We were there for Christmas the owners left complimentary tea coffe biscuits and a bottle of prosecco. The only thing was we only had one pillow each. The owner did explain that cushions and extra pillows had to be removed as stated by the cottage company. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

What a wonderful place to stay.

What a wonderful place to stay. The Corn Mill is a charming cottage & full of character, as well as being spacious & spotlessly clean. The owners were very friendly and pleasant & always on hand if we needed anything. The extra touches they included to the accommodation like kitchen cloths /cleaning products, milk, teabags & biscuits, even loo rolls were a lovely touch on arrival so there was no rush to find a shop straight away. We would definitely highly recommend it for anyone to stay there & enjoy the peaceful location. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We had a lovely stay at The Corn Mill.

We had a lovely stay at The Corn Mill. Some home comforts had to be removed due to COVID guidelines but it speaks to how lovely the cottage is that we still felt it was cosy and comfortable. Mr and Mrs Thomas were very friendly and helpful - a perfect spot for exploring the north west Lakes and we would recommend it to anyone. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A week's holiday in Cumbria for two of us.

A week's holiday in Cumbria for two of us. The Corn Mill, Branthwaite is a lovely place to stay with good access to the Lakes, particularly the North West Lakes, the coast and to the lovely market town of Cockermouth. Branthwaite is in lovely country outside the Lake District itself and is a really quiet place for those who want to get away from the crowds. The building is interesting, with surviving mill machinery on the ground floor. The conversion to holiday cottage is very well- done, and the accommodation is really comfortable. Keith and Carol are kind hosts and were always concerned to know that we were alright and had everything we needed. It couldn't have been better! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A very comfortable cottage with plenty of character. Well situated in a quiet location but within easy reach of the Western Lakes and coast. With a welcoming and helpful owner, this is an ideal cottage for a short break in Cumbria. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The Corn Mill is a wonderful cottage, just a little further out from where we normally stay around the North Western Lakes, but what a little gem of a cottage. It was excellent value for money and we will definitely stay there again. The owners are just lovely and Keith was so kind to help us out with a little spot of car trouble. The cottage is really cosy and warm and the downstairs area for drying boots and walking gear is perfect. Wonderful holiday, really can't wait to book again!

The Corn Mill is a lovely place to stay.

The Corn Mill is a lovely place to stay. As soon as you you enter the cottage, you find the original mill workings beautifully preserved. This room actually makes a great space to leave water proofs, walking boots, wellies etc as it is all stone floor. You then go up a level to a lovely open plan kitchen/ diner and sitting room. The kitchen has everything you could want and the sitting room is cosy with a lovely gas wood burner which is ideal for when the temperature drops in the evenings. The bedrooms are spacious and the bathroom is very nice. You won't find this quality at this price anywhere in the Lakes. Outside, the river runs about twenty metres from your door and is a lovely place to sit for an evening drink. The garden is private and just by the river also. BBQ facilities including charcoal, kindling etc are all included. The river is great for trout, sea trout and Salmon and if you talk nicely to the owners of the cottage they should be able to get you on the river for free! Locationwise, this is perfect for the North Lakes and coast but Windemere and Conniston are within an our. Loweswater, Buttermere and Crannock are just down the road, less than 20 mins away. Derwent a bit further, 30 mins odd. The pub up the road, The Royal Ewe is lovely and does great food. Cockermouth is not far and has all the shops, pubs etc you could want. However, the best thing about this cottage is the lovely owners who are right next door and cannot do enough to make your stay a happy one. They have lived in the area all their lives and know the Lakes like the back of their hands. They were brilliant guides to us and felt like old friends by the time we left. We even got a ride in their vintage sports car! We can't wait to go back! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Wonderful Country House

We had a wonderful time here, traveling from America in August 2019. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable, and the owner was patient and kind. It is best to have a car here, to travel the beautiful Lakes District and the fascinating slate mine. There is a pub in walking distance that was inviting and friendly. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!
