Angela is a wonderful host. The cottage had everything we could have hoped for. We arrived on a cold spring evening and it was wonderful to come into the toasty, spotlessly clean cottage. It is located slightly above Threkeld which makes for incredible views from two of the three bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped and we were grateful for freshRead more milk in the fridge and even biscuits as a treat! The local pub, the Horse and Farrier, is only 15 minutes on foot - we had a lovely meal there. Hide

We had a great Christmas break at Ravencragg. The cottage was clean, welcoming and very well equipped and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. The scenery is stunning and we had some superb winter walks. The kitchen is a little small for 5 people but all in all we had a wonderful stay.
