We had a fabulous stay at Stones Throw. The accommodation was spotlessly clean with lots of thoughtful touches & a very comfortable bed. The views are stunning & we really appreciated the Welcome Tray with tea cakes etc & the little bottle of fizz. Excellent communication from Merryll before our stay with directions which were very helpful. Merryll & Kevin were very welcoming & we are already looking forward to visiting Stones Throw again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Stones Throw and will definitely be back in the future! A great location, less than 10 minutes from shops, restaurants and petrol stations. A little over 20 minutes from Lake Windermere (Rydal). A truly breathtakingly beautiful place to stay. Comfortable, quiet and very clean! Highly recommend if you’re looking for somewhere safe and cosy to stay. We got engaged here so it’s my new favourite place!

I booked Stones Throw as it looked remote and this is what we wanted. The communication from the hosts was brilliant. It was small and functional and to a high standard. I obviously didn’t read the description and hadn’t realised it was an annex attached onto someone’s house which at first seemed uncomfortable. However once inside it was great. Overall the cleanliness was good but we did find an old vape in the sofa which wasn’t great. There were so many little touches that made it so welcoming. I would recommend to others x

Hi Jill, Thank you for your review on the Herdwick Cottages Site. Many apologies for the old Vape, I'm am very thorough in my cleaning but unfortunately must have missed this? I'm so sorry, and very annoyed as this is a non smoking/vaping place?! I wish I could have spoken with you to sort this. It is us our family that live in the New Vicarage attached to Stones Throw and we are respectful and quiet so you can appreciate living here as we do. Many apologies and sorry you had to put this on the reviews. Thank you for recommending Stones Throw to others. Merryll & family.

Nicely finished and cozy appartment ' with an eye for detail'. Quiet rural environment and a beautifull view from the room and the garden.

We had a great stay at Stones Throw, and were perfectly positioned for exploring the local area - the views from the window were fantastic! Merryll made sure we had everything we needed pre-arrival in relation to travel details and location info, and the tea cakes were also a lovely surprise upon arrival too.
