Talcomb, Cosy Country Cottage

The cottage is in such a lovely quiet location but with excellent walks from the door.
It’s cosy and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
Excellent value and great place to see red squirrels.
Also went to the Ivy restaurant in Braithwaite where we had an excellent meal.

We had a lovely stay at Talcomb. The property was easy to find and very clean on our arrival. The location was good and we enjoyed the surrounding area. Lovely walks direct from the door so was easy to take our dog out for a morning/evening walk. We had a lovely evening walk (summer) from the property to The Royal Oak in Braithwaite.
The only negative I have about the property is the double bedroom. The room is too small for a double bed and the bed is very creaky which kept us awake at night. As a family with teenagers we felt this room would benefit with a bunk bed and the adults stay in the much larger twin room.
The lounge and kitchen were a good size and equipped with everything you could need.
Thank you for a easy check in and out service and we would definitely return to the property as a couple.

We love this cottage, it is in such a lovely position for enjoying the Lake District. It's so quiet, great for a good nights sleep and yet it's so easy to get into Keswick which is around a 10 minute drive away. You can walk to Braithwaite and we had a wonderful meal in the Royal Oak, you need to book well in advance of your stay.
The gallery in thornwaite is just down the road, this does good coffee and has some lovely items to buy.
Walking up from the cottage brings you to whinlatter forest, its uphill all the way but worth the walk. Whinlatter is famous for its red squirrels and has some lovely walks. The coffee shop does amazing lunches and cakes.
The cottage is lovely and warm and very relaxing, just what you need for a great break.

Great cosy cottage in a lovely quiet location. Wonderful walks from the door up into whinlatter forest.
Saw a red squirrel everyday from the window and lots of unusual birds.
Great place to relax during difficult times.

Great cosy cottage. WHen we stayed we had really cold weather, a couple of snow showers but the cottage was lovely and warm.
My husband and son saw a woodpecker out of the lounge window and on a walk back from the pub one evening we saw a young deer in the woods.
The cottage is in a lovely area there are so many walks from your doorstop, and the walk up into the forest is delightful.
We went into Keswick on a couple of evenings and used a taxi which cost us £8.00 great value if there are 4 of you.
The nearest place to eat and drink is Brailthwaite which has 3 pubs. Our favourite is middle ruddings which has a great selection of beers and spirts, especially gin and the food is good. It's a five minute drive or about a 40min walk.

This cottage is great value for money in a great location.

lovely warm cottage at a great price. We saw 3 red squirrels from the cottage. Two out of the back window and one running near the car out of the front window.
A great base to explore the Lake District.
