Bridge End Farm Cottages

Location: Absolutely beautiful, located next to Blea Tarn Circular walk (also not very far from Scafell Pike) it is a stunning place. Literally a 30 second walk from a nice local pub with decent food and at the time there was a small little local shop across the road from it with a few bits and bobs if needed. If location is your top priority like mine then this is honestly such a great place for you. Management: Greg and Amy were both decent for answering emails and texts so they were decent.

Bathroom: Water pressure is fantastic, our bathroom had a sink, toilet, shower and bath in it which is surprising for the space, the shower though if you're on the taller or larger side of builds you are going to struggle in. My partner said she also struggled and she is substantially smaller than me so while I feel like I cant give it a plus for this I can't take away from it either as it is very personal preference. The Cottage: Every single floorboard after the ground floor creaks, the only spot in which the floor doesnt creak thankfully is under the bed, it's not even a case of weight either, my 20kg dog had the floorboards creaking, if you're like me and over 6ft, mind your head and if you're also, like me, and very broad you'll need to go through doors sideways, also as mentioned earlier in hotter seasons it is very hot in the bedroom, so if you struggle with sleeping with a window or two open you'll suffer. Amenities and Facilities: The cottages are equipped with decent TVs and Sky as well as WiFi. Massive shared garden out back with loads of seating next to a little beck. The BBQ was difficult to sort out, we never used it in the end (even though we would of liked to since the weather was nice) as issues with local management weren't around to sort that out for us, there were a couple of used makeup wipes left around and some random steaks left in the fridge from past residents I assume as well. All in all decent but due to the latter 2 points I can't say I liked it for this reason. Overall: Honestly it's a 4-5/10 for me and that is HEAVILY carried solely on location, we paid £610 for 2 nights (£590 +£20 dog fee) I really expected better, if it was cheaper I'd probably come back as the dog does seem to love it here, but while it costs what it does I would be looking elsewhere to return to the area.

We loved the surroundings of the cottage and the garden area and the pub which was so close with a lovely beer garden and great food the Boot Inn The property had everything you need for a pleasant stay both double beds were comfy however the single beds were not my friends said The communal garden was lovely

Parking is difficult with larger vehicles and the fact some guests don’t park in there designated spots The communal garden would of been better if fenced off for each cottage as some guests just like that bit more privacy Flies lots of flies in the cottage maybe some fly traps or fly spray Toilet roll one roll per bathroom was not much for 7 adults for 3 days Other guests who were in the cottages were upset about parking which made them moan to the owner no need really and a guest complained our dogs barked ( they did occasionally bark as dogs doo but we were out all day and in bed for ten each night One guest also complained again to the owner our dog was off the lead in the communal gardens it happened once we didn’t realize on the first day it was a communal garden as soon as we knew that we made sure they were leashed up when anyone was around in the garden - so petty we even gave there dog some dog treats !

Beautiful old property with lots of character, set in an absolutely stunning location, literally with waterfalls streams and mountains on the doorstep

Parking was tight with lots of properties in the same complex but it all worked out We did have the majority of the week mainly with more room and space to ourselves but weekend was more busy but the weather was glorious and these things can’t be helped

The property had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen with all the necessary utensils. The back door opened up to a beautiful outdoor space, perfect for relaxing. The bed was very comfortable, and the welcome book provided on arrival was packed with helpful information. The local pub was fantastic and just a stone’s throw from the cottage. Although the cottage is attached on both sides, it was quiet—we didn’t hear a thing. Having Sky with all the channels was a great bonus as well. Nice touch having some boards games and DVD’s (few things missing but not your fault)

The cottage was much smaller than the photos suggested. Expected a BBQ ready to use in the garden.. couldn’t find it. Also, it took us about 20 minutes to retrieve the key from the lockbox—it could definitely use an update.

Everything

Great accommodation, spacious, charming, clean. Good WiFi. We were a group of three adults and three children staying in Scafell cottage and everyone found a room to their liking. Beautiful location, lovely shared garden.

There's a low beam running across one of the staircases that I hit my head on a few times. Comes with being an older property though.

Absolute stunning location

Nothing , was perfect for our stay Really clean

Very clean and the host thought of all amenities someone might need for just a quiet weekend.

The path to parking but tight but manageable
