Perfect location in the village, bright and breezy, comfortable and a pleasure to return back to after exploring the wider Lakes area. With the beautiful Cavendish Arms and other great foodie places on the doorstep, including the Michelin starred restaurants from Simon Rogan and not forgetting the race course and fabulous dog walks surrounding with stunning scenary, which Tallulah & I enjoyed exploring. We hope to return. Zoë & Tallulah (London)

From the big bed to the lounge room. Very clean and in a lovely location. We arrived late at night and we cannot tell you how much we appreciated the bread butter and milk for the morning. That was very thoughtful. We loved staying at the tower house and would do so again.
