We had a fantastic stay in our cottage and particularly enjoyed the cosy wood burner to warm up in front of after our days adventures! The reason I chose the cottage was because along with its great location it had a drying room , a wise decision considering the 100% rain we had for one of our hikes but that all adds to the beauty of the Lake District in my opinion. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage, clean , warm and cosy and really comfy beds. Great acces for the North and West of the lakes too

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage. Close to pub and shop and lots of great walking.Couple of things to attend to :- one of the single beds needs a new mattress as very soft and dippy. Also shower draining very slowly.
