Logan and Jeanie so lovely - very welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area. Cottage beautiful and cosy. Local area absolutely fabulous with walks from the door but also more challenging walks only a short distance away. Highly recommend.

Great location for a stay in The Lakes. Homely, comfortable and full of character. Made even more special by the owners Jeanie and Logan who were so friendly and welcoming. We we definitely live to stay again.

Jeanie and Logan were the perfect hosts. The cottage was very charming and Logan filled us in on some of the history behind it since he had once lived there. He also shared information about routes to take around the lakes district which was very helpful. The cottage still has an 1920's Aga coal range in the kitchen which we had the fun of maintaining during our stay. It was our range, oven, dehumidifier and dryer. We were hoping for a historical cottage experience and Mill Cottage fit the bill perfectly!
