  • What an amazing place and a lovely comfortable house. Fabulous to have milk, biscuits etc on arrival. Had some walks as well as visits to Aysgarth Falls, Wensleydale Creamery, Keswick & Lowther Castle for a Rough Collie meet up. We also got to meet up with family too. Thank you.

  • Thank you Ivana & Nigel for providing this perfect, cosy little cottage from which to explore the area. It was warm and comfortable and the biscuits/ milk/ fresh flowers were a lovely touch. We walked the viaducts, villages surrounding Kirkby Stephen and up to The Nine Standards. On the whole, weather good! Paths to St Mary's Outhgill and in the other direction, Lammerside Castle provided easy routes for late afternoons after the main walks of the day. We would love to come back next year!

  • First time back in the area since 2017 and we're wandering why it's taken us so long to return!
    Pendragon View has been a very comfortable base for exploring and we've loved waking up to the ever-changing view of Wild Boar Fell. Daphne our GSD thinks everything here is fabulous.
    Really recommend a visit to Fairfield Mill if you want to see the work of local artists & makers.
    Thank you Nigel+Ivana for sharing this place. We hope to return.

  • Our 2nd stay here - and just as enjoyable as the first!
    Highly recommend for how accessible it is to the local areas & the gorgeous surroundings.
    Thank you again!

  • A somewhat last minute booking which was handled promptly without any fuss. A comfortable, cosy place with everything you need. Had some deep, restful sleep without any disturbances and the views were spectacular. I will miss waking up to the wide open space and the peacefulness of it. Night skies, sunsets and beautiful sunrises.

    Plenty of space and loved the bookcase contributions, could spend a year there just tucked away reading and contemplating the scenery.

    Helpful, friendly, attentive service.
    Thanks so much!

  • Another visit back to Mallerstang and Pendragon that has been just as enjoyable and restorative as our previous stays.
    As ever it's been a week of renewing acquaintance with some walks and places - the viaduct walk around Kirkby Stephen, Teesdale walk at Barnard Castle - and discovering new walks with our two rough collies - Low Force & High Force near Bowes and the Ingleborough cave trail.
    Thanks to Ivana & Nigel for supply with bottled water when United Utilities turned the water off for a few hours.
    We are looking forward to staying here again next year!

  • Pendragon View was the perfect base for exploring with our border collie. We were amazed by the views and tranquility from the doorstep.
    We've loved being rural but close to amenities when needed. We originally booked for June 2026 and squeezed this week in last minute and we're so pleased we did! Can't wait to return next year! Many Thanks!

  • Just wonderful!

  • Our first visit & it has not disappointed. Loved Pendragon View, such a cosy base, beds were seriously comfy. The peace & quiet was just what the Dr. ordered. So many lovely walks from our doorstep. We walked from here to the castle & then did the loop to take in Wild Boar Fell, an epic walk! Myself & Marley (7) didn't quite do the top but the boys did! Seen so many lovely waterfalls and been loving the wildlife on our doorstep. We have all loved it here and hope to come back at some point. Many thanks!

  • A fantastic family stay with our Grandson. We loved the cottage, the location, the castle and isolation. Explored deep in to the Hell Gill Gorge. Such a beautiful stay, clean and well appointed.

    — Alex & Family, 15 Aug 2025

  • Our first time here and really enjoyed our stay. So peaceful & quiet and lovely walks on our doorstep.. Our 3 dogs were settled here too!
    Keswick has lovely cakes & walks and a lovely town. Ingleborough waterfall walks amazing. Richmond has a lovely town.
    Went to The White Hare cafe in Kirkby Stephen - they couldn't do enough for us and they love dogs.
    Thank you for our stay and we hope to come back another year!

    — Maria & family + 3 dogs., 25 Jul 2025

  • Our 4th time here & as always Pendragon View is perfect. The peace and quiet, the wildlife, the amazing walks on our doorstep & good food, especially The Black Bull at Nateby!
    Definitely coming back next year.

    — Mark, Jane + Bella the boarder, 11 Jul 2025

  • Our first stay at Pendragon View. Well equipped cottage and lots to explore in the area.
    We went to Aysgarth Falls and did a short walk with the old dog Teal.
    We had one day in Bowness and went across on the foot ferry. Called at Brough Castle and went to Barnard Castle which was nice to walk around, and it was market day (Wednesday).
    Thanks.

    — Lyn, Tony, Tracy + Izzy & Teal, 27 Jun 2025

  • Our 8th stay at Pendragon View and as always it has been magnificent. Never enough time to explore all the wonders Cumbria has to offer.
    We particularly enjoy High Seat, Wild Boar Fell and for our elderly Border Collie Cautley Spout and Smardale bridge are much easier for the paws!
    It is our 2nd favourite place and the cottage is home from home. The tranquillity and peacefulness is simply sublime.
    Looking forward to returning in 2026 for our 9th stay and some more fabulous Cumbria adventure.
    Thank you Ivana & Nigel for sharing Pendragon View.

    — Sophie, Vicky & Crumble the Border Collie, 20 Jun 2025

  • Again, sorry to be leaving after a week of resting and relaxing in this lovely cottage. Thank you Ivana & Nigel for the flowers and "goodies".
    Hope to return again.

    — Alistair, Ann + Nell the dog, 06 Jun 2025

  • Thank you Ivana & Nigel.
    Our first time here and we've had a lovely week. The cottage is so homely and the welcome pack was much appreciated. The weather has been kind to us and we've done some lovely walks nearly all of them local. Apart from The Black Bull in Nateby we could recommend The Bay Horse at Winton. Will definitely be back.

    — Teresa, Stuart + Arlo the dog, 10 May 2025

  • Such a lovely cottage in an amazing setting. We've had a wonderful time exploring & relaxing in the sunshine - watching and listening to the wildlife.

    — David, Suzie & Meg (black Labrador), 02 May 2025

  • What a week of sunshine, warmth and lovely lambs! Lovely walk between Keld & Muker in Swaledale and lots of walks in the valley. Good lunch at Black Swan in Ravenstonedale. See you in August!

    — Penny & Family, 13 Apr 2025

  • Thanks again to Ivana & Nigel for yet another stay in your lovely cottage. Such a perfect place to come and relax whilst enjoying the surrounding area. We had a lovely lunch in Owen's Farm Shop and as always The Black Bull in Nateby is to be recommended.
    It was lovely to have a catch up with you both. We will be returning to our home from home!

    — Kathy and John, 21 Mar 2025

  • Gorgeous few days here in this beautiful valley.
    Weather's been lovely. Yesterday started with a snow flurry and ended in sunshine and a spectacular sunset!
    Cottage was cosy, comfy and really clean. Views are breathtaking. Watching oystercatchers in the field, listening to curlews and towny owls. I already want to come back. A very special place to spend my 37th birthday!

    — Jen, Jon + Max the dog, 12 Mar 2025

  • Another lovely week. Wild Boar fell in the snow. The Engine Shed in Kirkby Stephen. Seeing old friends and catching up.
    As always, sad to go!

    — Penny, Hugh & Patrick, 22 Feb 2025

  • Second time visiting Pendragon View. Lovely peaceful stay, nice and cosy even with the heavy snow fall. Just what we needed after a hectic Christmas. Thank you.

    — Ruth, 06 Jan 2025

  • We've had a great New Year week at Pendragon View. We've had a mix week of weather; cloud, wind, rain, sunshine, frost but the cottage has always been warm and cosy.
    We've had everything we needed for a peaceful and relaxing week, with not a single firework heard all week ... bliss!
    Lovely to see the red squirrels are doing well in this part of the UK; spotted at Pendragon castle, Smardale Gill Nature Reserve and Stenkrith Park. Walk and scenery stunning at Cautley Spout and just down the road from The Thrang to The Water Cut. Short and enjoyable walk at Cotter Force also. We enjoyed a full English breakfast at Owen's Farm Shop/Cafe when it was 50mph winds outside.
    Thank you to Ivana & Nigel for letting us stay at Pendragon View.
