General Comments

We have just returned from a long weekend break at North Wing Cottage in Jennywell Hall and had a great time. The Cottage is very basic but reasonable to rent and ideally placed to tour the lakes or just walk the surrounding area, the Village is very remote and tiny but the local pub (ten strides away) serves very tasty and good value for money food and is very friendly (dog friendly too). The Cottage is furnished with old fashioned but comfortable furniture which is in keeping with the age of the property, the bedrooms are quite roomy and the bedding was fresh and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a basic meal but crockery was quite old and a little past it. The owners provided us with everything we needed to make a real fire in the roomy and comfortable lounge and it was wonderful. We loved North wing Cottage and the Village of Crosby Ravensworth, it was a welcome 'get away from it all' break but it might not be suitable for those with children or teenagers who get bored easily as there is literally nothing to do here unless you're prepared to travel out each night. Also you cannot get a mobile phone signal so that may pose a problem to some. The Cottage is not connected to main drains so you need to careful what goes down the loo and access to the Cottages car park is difficult as there are only two ways to get there, one through an archway at the front where you need a slender car or one which is cabable of breathing in! The other way is via a ford across the river which runs past the rear of the property. My MX5 got through the archway (just) but my friends BMW 4x4 had to cross the ford (water to the top of it's wheels) but parking on the road at the front of the Cottage is not an issue if you don't have a thin car or a tank! To sum up, if you want a rural retreat in the middle of nowhere where you can't be contacted and stay in a quaint, romantic place in a very quiet village then North wing Cottage is for you.
