We had a slight problem with the boiler one morning so I rang Leah who informed me her brother and Dad would call, luckily it fired up so I rang her back but her brother and Dad still called within 10 mins just to check everything was ok. We will definitely be back.

My family and I loved it. The only thing we had a slight issue with was the gaps underneath the fence as our dog could get undernesth the fence , some chicken wire would resolve this issue. Other than that everything was perfect.

Amazing views and very quiet, just the donkeys and alpacas for company and they only wandered into the neighbouring field a couple of times. It made the perfect spot for our mini break. Not quite warm enough to enjoy the outside seating areas but we imagine it would be a fabulous place to sit with a morning cuppa or an evening G & T. Lots to explore in the area - we did a lovely walk from the cottage up to the Hospice tower with 360 degree views and then down to Cartmel - a very pretty place with cafes and pubs and a Priory lovely food and extensive menus at the Mallard Tea Room. Took the steam train from Haverthwaite to Lakeside and did a lovely walk up to High Dam through woodland. The tea room at Haverthwaite station sell off their scones and pasties for £1 at the end of each day. Akhi Indian in GOS delivered our takeaway too. Also enjoyed exploring around Humprhey Head and had a lovely meal at Thyme Out in Grange Over Sands before heading home. We would like to return to take the train across the estuary to Silverdale - maybe next year... Thanks for sharing your property.
