The area is beautiful and we particularly enjoyed the local village of Cartmel. The owners of the cottage were friendly and helpful. A lovely relaxing, dog walking holiday.

Owners didn't interfere,have been to some cottages and they pop around all the time, I find that uncomfortable, however these just left us to it. Would go again. Thumbs up to them!!
