A cosy sofa in the living area is ideal to snuggle up on and watch a romantic film together, whilst the kitchen has everything you need to make that special meal.

A shared patio with garden furniture is across the lane, with a walled river adjacent, and is a delightful place to sit and listen to the bird song and gentle babbling waters running by.

Great little find for a long weekend. Has everything you need. Location is great for that peaceful getaway but still has local walks on its doorstep to nearby Caldbeck (recccomend the cafe & pub). Easy drive to nearby keswick too. We go away every year to the lakes so will definitely be booking to come back next year. Thank you.

I gave the average for comfort and equipment only because there was not a microwave in the hayloft when we arrived. And for local ammenities it was a bit of a trek to get to shops. Overall it is a lovely place a bit out the way but that gives you the peace your looking for.

We had an enjoyable week in this warm, comfortable apartment. The location was perfect for walking on the Fells and we were very fortunate that the weather was sunny and dry. The cheese board on our arrival was very welcome and we would be happy to recommend.
