    I walked to Hilltop farm where Beatrix Potter lived, went to Tarn Hows on a sunny day, and enjoyed being in lovely Hawkshead. I could not get the TV to work, although I managed that last time but watched things on my iPad so that was fine!

  • Alison

    Perfect location for walking from the door and only a short drive from Ambleside too. The shops, cafes and pubs in the village are all very welcoming and we ate a couple of great meals in The Red Lion. The property is exactly as you see in the photos, very clean, fully equipped, super comfy bed, and the bath tub was so lovely to relax in at the end of long days of walking. Just everything you could wish for and more. Thank you, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again

    The only things which we feel could be improved are having a fire laid for guests’ arrival, keeping some J cloths for surfaces, and keeping washing powder alongside the provided dishwasher tablets. We had a fantastic few days and the decor of the cottage inspired us. We will definitely be recommending to others. Thanks to all involved.
