Bridge End Farm Cottages

We had the perfect stay from start to finish! Before we arrived, Greg sent us lots of useful information and answered all of my queries super quickly, and you really could tell he and his team care a great deal about their guests and giving them the best experience possible. There were 9 of us in our party plus a family dog and we were celebrating our mum's special 70th birthday and we couldn't have booked a more perfect break! From the moment we arrived to our cottage (Scaffel Cottage) we were blown away by the stunning grounds and cottage itself. Set in a quiet and idyllic hamlet which was exactly what we had hoped for with a lovely pub just a moments walk away. The cottage itself was stunning and extremely well appointed with absolutely everything you could possibly need and more! The cottage was warm and cosy upon arrival too which was a lovely touch and our dog Stanley had his own welcome pack with a treat, towel for his muddy paws and some lovely throws for him to snuggle up on. We wanted to cook on the first night and there was every possible utensil and all types of pots/pans/dishes you could need, and the crockery was all lovely. We had a little struggle understanding how to use the cooker, but one phone call to Amy and we were up and running in no time, Amy was so helpful and friendly! The beds in all 4 bedrooms were very comfortable and the upstairs rooms all had sky lights to look at the stars, our little girl particularly loved this. The hosts also provided milk, biscuits, olive oil, salt and pepper plus tea, coffee and sugar which was most appreciated. There were also some very nice toiletries provided too. The cottage is very conveniently located close to some lovely walks and trails and we enjoyed a lovely little hike on day 2 of our stay. We spent our evenings playing games and listening to music in the very spacious yet cosy living room area and it was just lovely.

There was absolutely nothing not to like, a perfect stay in a stunning location in a beautiful property, well done Bridge End Farm Cottages!

The property is too small even for two people bedding was supposed be white but dirty drey shower was intermittent hot and cold no head height gas certificate out of date last done 2023 property cold hole on outside door although there was a inner door not a welcoming property drab only radiator covered by sofa lounge kitchen so small could move sofa anywhere else

The location was perfect! Pristine and picturesque! Our cottage was spotless, super cosy and was well equipped with everything we needed. Leaving milk and biscuits was a welcoming touch too. We fell in love with Boot and would love to return! Loved the victorian bath as well.

Loved everything

Me & my partner booked the cottage for a weekend away it clean and easy to access with the doors being near air tight keeping it warm even during the colder days. The facilities were welcoming and on hand from the start all clean and on theme for the rustic style and they were all easy to use and start up, we had no issues with any of the appliances. Being able to step outside from the bedroom and see the mill and beck was an amazing sight. The area is fantastic with its own walks and sights that grant you access to some breath taking views that are not travelled often making it feel almost exclusive. While we went during winter months so rain and cold was always a risk the cottage held up no cold air or even sound of the rain got through allowing for a peaceful sleep even in near storm conditions. The laundry room is also very handy with the muddy conditions the trails were in, two washing machines and dryers that are stocked with supplies to use and are far enough away from the cottages so they are not a bother when turned on.

The only issue I had was that the back door for the cottage we were in did not close properly this may have been due to the excessive rain that we had at the time warping the wood. This was not a major issue as the inner door had dead bolts and could close without letting in air or being a big security risk. But due to the inner door being a glass panel in theory some one could open the outer door and look in as the back door has no curtain unlike the front and upstairs door.

Great location with a brilliant pub next door The Boot, the food choice is amazing catering for all types.

Nothing

Location and style, traditional cottages.

Beds weren’t great.

Our stay at Bridge End Farm in Boot was nothing short of wonderful. The moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible views—the kind that instantly make you breathe deeper and forget about the rush of everyday life. It’s truly one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed. The cottage itself was clean, cosy, welcoming, and perfect for both family time and quiet relaxation. We brought our two dogs along, and they settled in straight away. The area is incredibly dog-friendly, with endless places to walk, sniff, and explore. It made the trip feel even more special knowing they could enjoy it just as much as we did. They even joined us on our hike up Scafell Pike (which is also a songs throw away) Boot is the ideal base for exploring the Lake District, yet it still feels peaceful and tucked away. Whether we were strolling through the village, hiking the surrounding hills, or simply sitting outside soaking up the scenery, it felt like a little slice of heaven. We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend Bridge End Farm to anyone looking to truly relax, explore, and enjoy the beauty of the Lakes.

Leaving!!!!

Amazing location - right in the foothills of Wastwater

It was in a lovely location and the staff were great.

There were just some bits that were disappointing. When your booking a luxury cottage you don’t expect things like the cushions on the sofas were very flat and old, some of the towels were all frayed, the silicon round the shower was all falling apart and mouldy, there was a leaking tap in the kitchen, and only one pillow on each of the beds which were quite flat too. At least 3 draws were broken with the fronts all coming off and looking very tatty. Not what I would call luxury. We also had several wasps come into the cottage somehow so there must be a nest near by as we had about 5 come in over a few days. Especially as it was not the season for wasps this was concerning. It was very expensive to stay there and definitely not worth the money.
