2 mins from the beach for the dog to run around and handy local shop. Good base for exploring the Lakes (we spent a lovely day in Coniston). The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, the welcome gift appreciated and the owner very helpful. Only suggested additions would be a hairdryer and some champagne glasses.

This property was spacious comfortable and had everything you could want we really enjoyed our stay and will be back there was one thing I feel I must mention the drains in both bathrooms was poor whilst you were having a shower the water got 3 or 4 inches deep and when you ran the taps water backed up into the bath and there was a bad smell from it but otherwise the property was amazing kind regards Nick Carter
