A contemporary kitchen completes the setup with sleek white units and all the necessary appliances and cooking utensils you could need for a self-catered break. On a balmy day, slide open the patio doors to allow seamless access to the garden where the children and dog can play (please note the garden isn't enclosed) while the adults kick back with a gin and tonic on the outdoor furniture. Retire to the delightful king-size bedroom on the first floor, with crisp white cotton sheets and wardrobe space for your clothes, while across the hall is a twin and a single bedded which can be favoured by children.

Rang the agent and they confirmed the details stated this, but they had no further information and told us the info pack in the house would likely have details but there were none. House could do with a couple of coffee tables in the 2 seating areas and coat hooks but other than these 3 things, would recommend a stay at Fell End.
