Pine Cottage in Appleby-in-Westmorland is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped nature.

Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously commend the cottage for its exceptional cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean', 'immaculately clean', and 'exceptionally clean'. This consistent feedback indicates a very high standard of cleanliness maintained at the property.
The location is highly regarded for its convenience to local shops, pubs, and the town centre, with the River Eden nearby. The area is appreciated for its beauty and as a base for exploring the surrounding scenery. Some mention of road noise suggests a slight drawback, but overall the location is well-received.
Comfort is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the cottage cosy, comfortable, and quiet. The beds are noted as very comfortable, and the warmth of the cottage is appreciated, especially during colder months. The steep stairs to the second bedroom are a concern for some, but do not significantly impact the overall comfort.
Facilities are generally praised, with the cottage described as well-equipped and offering every appliance desired. Suggestions for additional items like a clothes airer and hand towels indicate minor areas for improvement. The well-stocked kitchen and the provision of parking permits are positively noted.
While guests express gratitude towards the owner for their helpfulness and the provision of parking permits during roadworks, there is no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts, and the score is set to null.

The old town of Appleby-in-Westmorland is situated in a loop of the River Eden, with the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the Lake District Fells visible on the western horizon. This is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England, set in the green Eden Valley and steeped in history. It was previously the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is set between the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales, allowing visitors to take advantage of the contrasting landscapes of these two National Parks, as well as various walking and cycling options and the town's superb leisure complex. Appleby boasts a great assortment of quality independent businesses, cafes, and delicatessens that sell locally created food and crafts. Boroughgate, a charming thoroughfare with several notable old buildings, runs through the centre of the town and connects the well-preserved Norman Castle with the beautiful mediaeval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a significant stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, one of Britain's most beautiful railway rides, and many ancient steam trains still run along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. This is a great holiday location, with the pleasant Ullswater and the beautiful Lake District both within close reach.

Cottage was welcoming and clean. Warmed up quickly, although we never managed to get a good result with the log burner (probably because weâre not used to one). Lovely light kitchen with good-sized table. Really hot water. We were fortunate with the weather, especially as elsewhere was rather wet, and managed a few minutes in the garden. This would be lovely late afternoon in the summer with a glass or two. All in all, a great stay. Steps to attic bedroom very steep - you wouldnât want to have to go down to the toilet in the middle of the night.
