Julie
The location was nice and quiet and not too far away from the main Lakes by car. The cottage had everything we needed and more. It was warm, cosy and inviting. I had the best night sleep on the comfy bed and loved waking up to the views over the fell. The welcome goodies left in the fridge were a lovely touch too. The enclosed patio garden was a plus for us with 2 dogs. Lovely to be able to let them out the back door knowing they would be safe. Plenty of information guides etc left in the lounge to help us decide where to go, as well as information on local attractions. Such a relaxing break. We will return again!
