We felt at home straight away, as did our pooch! The house was clean, cosy and well maintained. The welcome basket and bottle was greatly appreciated! It was a treat to have the lovely super king bed too. The only small thing was the unexpected construction outside the house which could be quite loud at times as it was directly opposite, but as we happened to be out walking most of the day this didnât bother us too much. Youâre within walking distance of many shops, dog friendly pubs, and great dog walks in the local area, while still only being up to a couple hours drive from the lakes and fells to the north (we drove to Windermere, Buttermere, Keswick, Coniston etc with great ease). Overall we had an amazing week and didnât want to leave. Weâll definitely be back!
