Mrs Totten
We had a lovely 2 week stay at the cottage. Very cosy and welcoming, the wood burner was a real plus during the colder nights. Great bonus of dedicated parking, while the property is minutes walk of Bowness, which was brilliant for us as we normally stay in more rural properties.

A great holiday cottage in a good location. The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived and was very comfortable to stay in. It was very well equipped and the location was great for the lake, walking and water sports.
