It was spotless and had everything we needed for our weeks stay. I slept in the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in (including my own). The area its in is absolutely stunning with lovely little walks on the doorstep aswell as being very central to other areas with walks of every level. No garden but it wasn't an issue for the dog as in any direction right outside the door the walks are great. Lovely pub and cafe 5 mins walk away. Local convienience store only about a mile away is well stocked with everything, plus a nice cafe upstairs. A lovely extra was the use of the Choices health centre 20 mins drive away. Really nice pool, hot tub, sauna and steam and gym. I would definately recommend this cottage and the beautiful area of Elterwater, just perfect

Walking from the door and lots of places to eat and drink close to the cottage. The cottage was comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom are to a very high standard. Alun the hosts communication before our arrival was excellent. We had a fabulous break and I would recommend a stay at this cottage for those wanting a stay in Langdale .

The cottage is well appointed with good quality equipment, and comfortably furnished. A washing up bowl would be helpful in the single sink and a dish cloth. We enjoyed our stay
