Three of us were taking part in the Montane Lakeland 50 / 100 Ultra marathon which took place Fri 26 Jul - Sun 28 Jul, from John Ruskin School just next door. Rooftop made this the perfect location to stay. We were offered an extra 5 days free whilst booking, which we took full advantage of to rest up and recuperate after the race. The flat was roomy and clean - a home away from home. The kitchen was well stocked and I've made a note of where I can purchase some baa baa sheep blinds and matching lamp shade from. There is a convenient space for one car outside, with additional parking available at John Ruskin School, less than a 5 min walk away. The flat is close to a range of cafes, restaurants, pubs, and shops, as well as the very popular Coniston Water and Old Man of Coniston.
