The property was clean, comfortable and a great location to visit Ullswater. Lots of nice touches including the helpful information pack sent from the owners, arrival gift, and dog paddock. Would definitely come back for a longer stay next time.

The birdlife and other wildlife is a delight. Well located for walking straight onto the hills. It's comfortable, plenty of hot water, and the owners were very helpful with an internet problem (due to the network provider not the property).
