It's so handy for walking into town as well as accessing the rest of the South Lakes. Love the new extension! Really opens up the space at the back of the house.

The cottage itself was really cosy and comfortable, with everything provided that you could possibly need. The welcome pack was much appreciated as was the dog bed, bowls, blankets and towels which were a nice touch (along with some dog treats too!). The owner Heather was lovely and offered to help with any questions we had, or supply info about the area. We attended the Christmas Carol Service at the local church and were made to feel very welcome. Overall, a fabulous short break in a lovely village, made even better by the great accommodation.

The terrace was gorgeous, especially as we were so lucky to have perfect weather. The terrace is bigger than it appears from the photo on the website and although it adjoins other properties it is very private. The location was exactly what I wanted, in the town and close to many great places to eat and drink. There was some traffic noise in the front bedrooms when the windows were open, which is inevitable in a town. We had 2 cars but parking wasnât a problem, I used the permit to park further up the Mitchelgate and the other car was in the pay and display car park around the corner.
