Very spacious and warmed up well once the heating was on, kitchen very well equipped only had an issue with very flat pillows and the main bedroom mattresses could do with decent toppers. Other than that was a very lovely stay

We have stayed here a number of times and it is just a home from home for us. Beautiful period property which is cosy and warm for a winter stay. Lovely layout and tastefully furnished. Modern well equipped kitchen also. Great that dogs are allowed also as it completes our stay. Perfectly situated for the park, a quick walk to the town centre and walks from the doorstep to the fells. Private parking for one car is a bonus too. Highly recommend a stay here.
