The perfect setting for peace, quiet & tranquility, which was just what one of us needed following a very difficult time. The ground floor setting, throughout, is ideal for anyone with mobility difficulties; even the front door & path are step free! Parking is right next to path too, which is also all level. Very well equipped apartment indeed; want for nothing. Beds are extremely comfortable; luxurious linen, towels & hand soaps/lotions. We had a small query, which the very accommodating owner was more than happy to instantly help us with - thank you. Geltsdale Gardens is a great place to relax & unwind or a base to explore the Lakes & over the border into Scotland. Highly recommend & certainly wonât hesitate to return. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The setting is beautiful and the apartment lived up to expectations. We had everything we needed including comfortable beds and a lovely view! As bird lovers we were pleased to watch the resident sparrowhawk patrol her territory, and we even picked up a kingfisher on our birdsong app (sadly didnât see it). Having planned to drive, we ended up taking the train at short notice and were pleasantly surprised by how much we were still able to do. The station is 10 minutes walk and the service was remarkably efficient. Supermarket and takeaway deliveries were easy to arrange which helped! A very pleasant week altogether, I would certainly recommend the area and the apartment.

The apartment was spectacular with stunning views across the northern Pennines. Everything we could need was provided for to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as ever. It is a great 'base' to explore near and far as well as being on the edge of Wetheral - a quintessentially English village with a wonderful little shop/post office and coffee shop. We can't wait to visit again - our week at Geltsdale flew by all too quickly.
