Stockwell Hall Cottage, Stockwell Hall, Sebergham, Carlisle, Cumbria, CA5 7DY

This was our 4th stay at Stockwell Hall Cottage and we were still extremely pleased with the property. The location is perfect for a peaceful holiday retreat, yet still within an easy drive to the towns in the Lakes. The cottage is so spacious, cosy and very comfortable. It was an absolute pleasure to return and we enjoyed every minute.

We've just returned from our second stay as a family at this wonderful place that provides the perfect home from home in this lovely part of England.

Its location is ideal to explore all of Cumbria (including the Lake District) but the Yorkshire Dales are within easy reach too.

The cottage has everything you need. It's well-equipped, spacious, immaculate, beautifully furnished with a kitchen that provides a real heart and warmth to the property.

The views of the surrounding area are both picturesque and relaxing. A nice drink in the evening on the patio,

This idyllic cottage offers a special warmth and charm with so many different view points of the surrounding beautiful countryside. The cottage has many sun traps from which to enjoy the peaceful views and environment. The interior of the property is very well equipped in a luxurious and tasteful manner providing a home from home. The large garden is perfect for adults on the patio and children safely playing. The woodpeckers and friends provide entertainment for the bird lovers. The warm and friendly welcome form the owners Stephen and Heather adds to the r

My husband and I have just returned from our third stay at Stockwell Hall Cottage and it still gives us exactly what we want.

The cottage is very clean and well equipt. It?s a comfortable, cosy, spacious property in beautiful peaceful surroundings.

We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, a delicious homemade cake and extra items were left in the kitchen.

Stockwell Hall Cottage really is a wonderful place to use as a base to explore the upper Lakes or just to chill out and relax, watching the birds feeding and enjoying the peace and quiet.

Highly

As a family of four with two boys, we have stayed in some lovely

cottages over the years in places such as Scotland and Wales, however this was simply the nicest cottage we have stayed in.

We were kindly welcomed with wine, cake, fresh eggs, bacon, bread and

butter. Heather and Stephen make you feel welcome; they just allow you to get on and enjoy your holiday but you know they are around if you

need anything.

With its location, just outside the National Park it is nice and quiet

and off the beaten track, but you are close to so many things. Being

about 15 mins away from the M6 gives you plenty of options we visited the Yorkshire Dales, for example. You can also visit the beautiful beach at St Bees which is only about a 40-minute drive away.

But the cottage is the real star: it is beautifully decorated and furnished with everything you could want. The kitchen is amazing, spacious and with lovely French-windows leading to the patio. We watched birds of all kinds demolish the food provided including a family of Great spotted woodpeckers. We also enjoyed a daily visit from the cat called 'Tiggy'.

Beyond the patio is a huge garden which Stephen and Heather are only

too happy to let you use, so many games of cricket were played (when

the weather permitted).

Although we did not enjoy the best of weather during our stay (let?s

just say it was changeable!), we enjoyed some beautiful sunsets

which were always accompanied by a chorus from the

swallows, robins, sheep, and the occasional crow; all joined by the

sound of a pony eating grass! These sunsets could be enjoyed from the

gate next to the drive or the small balcony from the living room on

the first floor. Either way, it was a perfect way to unwind.

Would recommend this cottage to anybody. The cottage rules on the wall at the top of the stairs inspired us and helped us to enjoy a wonderful family holiday.

Thank you, Heather and Stephen (and Tiggy!), we will be back, but it can?t come soon enough?

This is an outstanding cottage. A beautiful location on a small-holding, a superb interior and layout and really friendly owners who couldn't do enough for us. Lots of brilliant finishing touches including being met with a freshly baked cake that was out of this world. A really chilled out stay in a superior cottage with the most amazing views. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
