Overview
Description
Thank you for taking the time to look at our listing. Hopefully, we’ll be meeting you very soon.Situated in the beautiful Eden Valley and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Great Asby is a friendly and inclusive village with a fantastic pub doing great home cooked food a five minute walk away. The Lake District is on our doorstep with Lake Windermere approx. 40mins drive from the cottage. Keswick to the north is about the same distance. We have some fantastic walks in the locality, too.
The village of Great Asby is very peaceful, normally with only the sound of sheep baaaing or birds singing.
We welcome guests with dogs AT NO EXTRA CHARGE; as dog owners ourselves we appreciate how difficult it can be sometimes to bring them away with you on holiday. I also provide ‘dog towels’ for those muddy paws.
The cottage consists of one double bedroom, spacious bathroom with freestanding roll top bath, sitting room with log burning stove and ‘smart’ tv, fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, range cooker and fridge-freezer. There is also a sun room with washing machine and tumble dryer. A large patio area with bbq is also provided for you with patio furniture. The outside area is secure, so you can let your dogs out, no problem. All linens and towels are provided, along with things like washing-up liquid, dishwasher tablets, dishcloths etc.
Ample parking area for up to 2 cars right outside the cottage.
I also list on Airbnb and have over 240 reviews. Why not head over there and take a look at some of them? You can then come back to Simply Owners and book direct with me with no extra fees.
Please contact me if you have any questions and I will endeavour to answer them promptly.
Susan.
2 night stays may be available. Please contact me to enquire.

Leave ReviewLovely quiet peaceful location
By Jackson trio on 02-May-2025Our second vis.it to Great Kettle Barn It won’t be our last. Short of nothing you need. Sue & Fritz make you feel more than welcome. A lovely welcome gift on your arrival. Great pub down the road unfortunately not cooking because of VE weekend. Some very nice walks in the area & if you have dogs Orton Scars are only Ten minutes drive away. Fab 360 degree view from the top. Can be WINDY though. Looking forward to our next visit. See you soon.
"Nothing short of perfect"
By Mike on 30-Oct-2022Nothing short of perfect. Sue and Fitz have thought of every possible detail and the place is finished to a very high standard. Bed, linen and bathroom are immaculate, with the kitchen fully kitted out with everything you need for a few days or much longer. Will definitely be back x
"An ideal location for walking and exploring the area"
By Rebecca on 27-Oct-2022A lovely stay in a cosy, clean and comfortable cottage. An ideal location for walking and exploring the area before returning to relax in front of the fire. Susan provided everything we needed for our stay and was on hand if we needed anything. Would absolutely return again. Thank you for a fantastic stay, we had everything we needed and the cottage was so clean and comfortable. We’d love to return when we get the chance!

Private note from William Dear Susan, I cant think of a single thing to improve the cottage. very much enjoyed our stay and would like to explore the area more.
"Just what we needed"
By Andrea on 02-Apr-2023We had a very quiet and restful time at Susan’s. Just what we needed. Susan made sure we had everything we needed at every stage, she took in our food delivery ahead of our arrival and when we arrived later than expected we found a roaring fire waiting for us. If you are looking for a quiet time, in a lovely cosy cottage then this is for you. Susan deserves the five star reviews!!
