1 double bedroom with king size bed. Linen provided.
Second bedroom with 2 bunk beds and 1 single bed. Linen provided.
A travel cot is available. We can provide linen but for very young children we suggest you bring your own so it smells of "home".
Parking is for 2 cars, 3 by arrangement.
We have installed an electric vehicle charging point Type 2. Payment for the electricity is per KwH. The cost is covered by your Damage Protection fee and the remaining balance of the fee is refunded after your stay. This is not a rapid charger, but our rates are not as expensive as for a rapid charge - which if necessary you can get at Tebay Services (1 mile up the hill, see Local Attractions)
We have a dog, who spends his days around the yard and his nights in kennel; a cat; and two ponies who live in the fields by day and in the stables by night.
Ruby the bay Fell pony is now 28 years old, Eric the grey Dales pony is 13, our dog Micky Wippitt is 11, and the feline "drama king" Burmese-cross Sooty is 9. They are pets. All of them are friendly, and we are happy to welcome your own well behaved pets who come here with you and your family.
Please remember though that Daw Bank, like the rest of Greenholme, is working farmland; it is not an urban park, a petting zoo or a themed play area. You are welcome to enjoy our fields if you also accept that the farm livestock take priority. There are sheep in our fields and cattle in our neighbours' fields, and sheep and cattle are not pets. Please keep your dog leashed when going for walks, especially where there are sheep or horses. (If you go among cattle anywhere, be prepared to let the dog go if they become inquisitive or aggressive.)
Please don't feed any of the animals here unless you're with one of us.
In reply to some queries we have had: There is no enclosed space outside Daw Bank Cottage where you can leave dogs or toddlers unsupervised. There are no dog parks nearby to let a dog run free.
PS if you hear odd noises at night they're probably being made by an animal. Dogs bark, foxes yap; owls hiss, squeak and snore as well as hoot; while sheep can cough as though they've smoked 80 a day for the last decade.
Our landline broadband was very slow (usually under 2mbps) so we cancelled it. It caused too much frustration.
However, your SMARTPHONE should get good mobile internet 4G reception indoors from Vodafone, O2-UK, EE and Three. Check here for up to date information and for any other providers we haven't detected: Mobile coverage and https://www.signalchecker.co.uk/ - use the postcode CA10 3TA and the address, Daw Bank Cottage.
Tebay Services (1 mile up the hill, see Local Attractions) has free wifi for customers.
