Self Catering Accommodation At Scar Side Farm Holiday Cottage Orton Penrith Cumbria

What Our Previous Guests have To Say About Their Stay In Cumbria At Scar side Farm Self Catering Holiday Cottage.

We wanted to have a well earned break,
So we logged on to the internet
Looked for a place that was for let,
We found a promise with Scar Side Farm
Away from it all, secluded and calm.
We did not delay, did not dally,
Booked the date with Martin and Sally.
On the day that we did arrive
We were in for a lovely surprise.
The perfect place for us to stay,
The dogs were keen and eager to play.

Cottage nice and cosy and warm,
Pretty garden, manicured lawn,
Views that are beyond compare.
Thanks for allowing us to share
Your little corner of paradise.
You’ve made us welcome, its very nice
Scar Side Farm has been real fine
We’d love to come back another time,
Until the next time that we will meet.

Goodbye from
Ian, Racheal, Megan, Ellen and Pete


We thank you for a lovely time
At Scar Side here this week.
We even feel inspired to rhyme
( I see we are not unique ! )
The cottage is delightful,
With its comforts charms and views.
The owners are extremely kind
And thoughtful – friendly too.

The doggies are all dears, – though
I’m not into dogs at all
I somehow found myself outside
With Bobbi, playing ball !
We’ve felt so welcome and enjoyed
Each day ( even in the rain )
So thank you and good bye and hope
To come back here again

Sally, Martin and the dogs
We loved the house and the fire with logs
A restful sleep in our bed of dreams
Set us up for tomorrow’s scenes.

We leave today for Blackpool fogs
So thank you Sally and Martin,
Oh, and especially the dog !!

Richard & Theresa


The Family Young came to Scar Side
with bags and bikes and stuff.
They were hoping to have lots of fun,
walking cycling and sitting in the sun.
They’d been before,
so they knew what’s in store
And returned by the fire with its glow
and to Keswick and Kennedys for chocolates galore
and cakes, they happily did go.

But even the rain though it came and it came,
it didn’t spoil their fun.
The chocolates and cakes and dogs and the gates
All combined to make it fun
So its home we go, back to toil and smoke in the city full of crime
But the memories we’ve got of Sally and her lot
Are just the tonic to help us unwind!
