Kathryn
Immaculately clean, too. The kitchen was especially well equipped and organised, which is always nice to walk into for self catering. The lounge and dining room were plenty big enough for our three generation group, and comfy. We used three of the four bedrooms; the one we didn't need is a twin that sits close to the top of the stairs, with a step down itself, so more for older children up. A stair gate would be a comfort, but because the other bedrooms are set back away from the staircase we actually found it okay for our young child. The garden patio is a bit up and down with various steps so needed a careful eye on my little one as well but it was a lovely place to sit out in the sun after a day out, very peaceful and not overlooked. We didn't use the wood burner, but I think it would be lovely and cosy in cooler weather. We used it as a base for exploring the local area and the route around Lake Windermere is easily accessed, plus various very local attractions that were only a short trip away. As we left, we crossed the railway bridge and then drove alongside the steam train.

The property was spotless on arrival and well-equipped throughout. Itâs situated in a peaceful location, with the only sound being the cockerels over the road! However this does mean needing to drive to access shops etc. David was easily contactable and responsive (when we discovered a wasp nest in the roof). Beautiful garden, comfortable beds, good wifi and adequate off-road parking.

Was very clean and comfortable with more than we anticipated, and a lovely peaceful garden.We would definitely recommend the cottage to others. If there were considerations for improvements we would just mention the showers could be upgraded the water went from cold to very hot with no adjustment (thinking of children) and a new hoover as it has seen better days and some parts missing.
