Based in a lovely area with great walks to go on. We had a few issues which spoiled our stay. Which I reported.

Great property that we booked very last minute. Lovely welcome pack and lots of store cupboard provisions - Salt, pepper, flour, oil etc. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely back garden to sit out in. Overall a comfortable property near but not on the main road that leads to Ulverston. Would recommend the Anglers Arms pub for good food. Will certainly stay here again if we head to this part of the world
