Good Location to explore the lake district and north pennines. Very clean and very homely little place it has everything anybody would need although we like our own space and not to be bothered it would have been nice to have a conversation with the owner as we did have a few questions but we didn't see them at all. I would definitely recommend this place as a romantic get away with 2 big dogs.

Compact but with everything we needed. On a farm but didnât hear any noise at all and the farmer let us watch the cows being milked and explained everything that was going on - lovely guy. Some really nice places to eat locally. Nice walks. Location good.
