  • Matthew

    Well equipped and spacious house. Very friendly hosts.

  • Emma Jayne

    Julie was so helpful and approachable. Fab location to explore the lakes & travel to Gretna for our wedding. The cottage is positioned well to be able to travel around, but is still incredibly peaceful. The on site goats were hysterical and caused great entertainment!

  • Sarah

    Upstairs bedroom doesn't have a door but this was not a problem with our son due to direction of the stairs so able to fully block out light from kitchen/diner and there is also a thick curtain between lounge and kitchen/diner and the lounge is off to the side. Beware Lake District water is very hard. We would definitely stay again.
