Itâs beautiful, immaculate, super clean, well equipped, warm and comforting; itâs everything youâd want and more! Itâs the fine details that make the difference between a good holiday cottage and an incredible one - theyâve nailed it with all the details and fine touches to make it a special experience, rather than just âsomewhere to stayâ. The setting is simply stunning with so many walks straight from the door. When you come back from a long day on the fells, thereâs no better place to come back to thatâs for sure. Itâs the best of the best!

It was cosy, warm and comfortable, as well as being extremely well and thoughtfully equipped. Incredible walking in all directions straight from the door, in high mountains or low level valley walks.
