Location was fine to access places around and a bus service just down the road for Workington & Keswick to link other places One point, beware of the slippy decking if wet!

We would go on to say, that in comparison to other accommodation of a similar type that we have stayed at, it was very generously equipped, we wanted for nothing. Location was superb. Very central to this area of the Lake District that we had not visited before alongwith the surrounding Towns. A mention has to be made about the chap(sorry unable to recall his name) in Reception who very warmly and comically, received us in at the Holiday Park.
