Joâs detailed information before we arrive gave us reassurance we had booked a professional cottage (bad experience last summer, different holiday company). The cottage is cosy and very comfy. We felt we had lots of space and we loved the view from the kitchen diner. Every single thing you could need was provided and some lovely biscuits and coffee too. Beds were lovely, bedding smelt so fresh! Fabulous location for lots of exploring. The Pheasant Inn is lovely, nice food and staff. Cartmel is a pleasant half hour walk away, lots of eateries there too. We would happily stay again
