Great short break in western lakes

We had a very nice stay. The property was very spacious and comfortable. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Would recommend for anyone wanting to be in this area of the Lake District

Hallfleet Farm

A spacious, cosy, well equipped property in a beautiful area. The electric hob was a bit of a trial but we managed it in the end. We visited Munster Castle and the birds of prey exhibitions were fantastic. We did some lovely walks in the area, one of which was direct from the house. We would definitely use this property again as it was ideal for a large group family stay.

Fantastic location

Had a brilliant family weekend at the property celebrating my husbands 60th birthday. The house is very sizeable and comfy and the views are stunning. Great walks nearby and very peaceful and remote. The pub nearby is amazing with great food. Would definitely recommend a visit. Tony was very helpful and quick response to emails. Thanks

Very comfortable and excellent location for exploring the Lake District

Substantial property over four floors with large bedrooms, two of which have double-beds and two with 2x single-beds. All bedrooms have en-suite bathroom/toilet! Huge "game of Thrones" style dinner table in the dining room. Lovely garden and fenced/gated to keep in well-behaved dog. Parking for at least three cars. Very welcoming living room with large table for card and board games made this a central gathering place. And WIFI when you need some screen-time.

Great place in a good location

The farmhouse is well set up and in a great location. The lounge is brilliant for having a group sit round and chat. Recommend the pub, a 5 Mon walk down the road.

Lovely house full of character

I stayed here just me and one of my dogs for a few nights for a working holiday - Big house just for one, but just the kind of place I wanted - Quiet, log burner, dog allowed, pub in walking distance... Full of features and plenty of comfort whilst retaining the original farm house feel. With having a dog with me, I would have preferred the garden to have been fully secure, but this wasn't too much of a big issue with just taking one dog. I was also a bit upset on arrival reading that dogs were only allowed on the ground floor, which ruled out my dog being allowed into the living room and this information was NOT provided prior to arrival - The information regarding dogs stated to agree to the rules in the guest information which is read on arrival and this was the first I knew that my dog would be restricted to the kitchen and dining room. I understand them not being allowed on sofas, but not at all being allowed in the living room was a bit of a shock. As a result I barely used the living room as I wasn't going to leave my dog alone downstairs for three nights and so I spent the majority of my stay just in the kitchen. As I usually have my partner and four dogs in total when I go away, I would not return here for this reason if I was to be coming away for a leisure holiday with dogs, but objectively if I was having a trip and it was just me, or my partner and me, then I would happily stay again. I don't want to make it sound like a bad place, as it was REALLY NICE and comfortable and had everything you could need staying away from home, I just don't think it is really set up properly to be properly classed as a "dog friendly" holiday home given the charge per dog and the situation with where in the property they can go. Some other points to note - Local pub a short walk from the house was lovely and had a nice ,meal there once night (dog friendly too). The owner Tony was very helpful and talked me through my arrival etc before hand and also checked that I had arrived OK and gained access. There are lots of notes all around the house with instructions on how to work things. Everything was functional and the bed I used was very comfy. There were some logs for the fires available when I got there, but then also large bags available to buy out the shed with an honesty pot - This was useful as it meant I wasn't having to go to places and lug logs about. Overall it is lovely place to stay, just not really with dogs with current rules.

Nice break but not perfect

Just back from hallflat cottages, had a largely really nice time. Positives The area is outrageously beautiful with loads of great things to do The local area is superb, and it’s a really blessing to have a great pub and fantastic cafe in such a remote part of the world The property is big, spacious and full of character. It has a lovely garden too. It was also clean when we arrived. All the applicances work fine and are clean, and there is Wi-Fi through the property (although it doesn’t quite reach the lounge) The owner was really helpful and easy to deal with throughout the booking process Negatives Whilst generally positive, what reduces the overall experience is the state of the interiors in the property. Whilst I understand that this is a very old property with lots of character, the general condition of decor and furniture isn’t good. It’s in desperate need of a refurb and it took the edge of the holiday to be honest. Carpets are threadbare in places. Walls and wallpaper are scuffed, torn, marked or poorly finished throughout. Beds and couches are uncomfortable and ready to be replaced, with springs felt on a number of them. There’s watermarks and what looks like damp patches on some ceilings. It’s a shame really, because it’s a fabulous base in a beautiful area but really could do with some modernising for sure.

Perfect location and amazingly comfortable and spacious house

We didn't travel more than 20 mins from the house as there was so much to see and do. The house was so spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We loved it.

Perfect getaway

As soon as I booked, I received the most amazing welcome packet that answered every question I might have had. Check in was easy and the property was just as described. Wood burning stoves in the kitchen, and family room was a perfect touch for a cold and rainy weekend. The house had so much space and so many thoughtful touches to make our weekend really simple and wonderful. We were sad that we didn't have more time to spend exploring the surrounding areas, because the location is a great central location to explore much of the District. Close enough to pub and tea house(highly recommended!) to walk, and within a few minute drive to shops. 10/10... we can't wait until we can book again. Thanks!

Home away from home

We were a party of 6, 4 adults 2 teenagers and a dog, as the house is divided up over 4 floors everyone had their own space which was brilliant. The location is beautiful with walks from the doorstep and the pub 5 mins walk down the hill was a real bonus. The pub is dog friendly and does take away food, the fish and chips are excellent. All in all this is a very comfortable well equipped family home in a beautiful location we will definitely be back.

Relaxing holiday in a fantastic location

Spacious old farmhouse containing everything necessary to make this a fantastic memorable holiday. Large cosy well equipped warm kitchen with long pine table perfect for all meals as well as a huge table on a separate dining room. Upstairs four large bedrooms all en suite with great views of hills and countryside. Large cosy living room ... in short, perfect house, quiet location, great views and best if all just a short drive to Wastwater, my favourite lake, and Great Gable. One suggestion: A garden table would be useful for meals outdoors

Delightful quirky farmhouse

We spent 6 nights in this comfortable well equipped property. The location is superb with so much to see and do close by. The Bridge Inn is great and the food excellent. 3 of our party were from Florida and fell in love with The Lakes and the farmhouse - they're already considering joining us for a return visit in the future! Thoroughly recommended.

Great location

We had a great 2 nights in this spacious farm house. The house was very comfortable and suited us perfectly. We enjoyed being able to walk to the pub for meals in the evening and the location was perfect for walks from Wasdale Head. The landlord provided very helpful instructions and it worked well having the keys sent to us by post. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks very much!

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt

Wir haben zwei wunderschöne Tage in diesem Haus verbracht. Viel Platz, 4 Schlafzimmer, jedes mit eigenem Bad. Ein Wohnzimmer, eine große Küche mit Esstisch und ein eigenes, großes Esszimmer. Trotz seiner Größe ist die Unterkunft sehr gemütlich, die Zimmer sind auf mehrere Stockwerke verteilt. Unkomplizierter E-Mail-Kontakt. Eichecken über Schlüsselcode..... Alles war sehr sauber. Super Lage im Lake Distrikt! Eigener großer Garten. Auf dem sehr großen Grundstück gibt es noch andere Häuser und Wohnungen. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und empfehlen dieses schöne Haus uneingeschränkt weiter.
