Very handy for both Keswick and Lingholm. Peaceful location. Stairs are very steep so only suitable for fully mobile people. Would benefit from a clothes airer as we came back wet from a walk and nowhere to hang clothes inside. All in all, we were very happy with our stay and would return.

Good place to stay. V clean and tidy with everything you could need. The hotel across the road is a better place to go for food and drink compared to the local pub. The only issue is the stairs, if you have any mobility issues or problems going up stairs this isnt the cottage for you, other than that its v good.
