There is everything you require for a great home from home property and the cottage is well equipped and well furnished. Had seen previous comments about the dishwasher not working, however the owners have now replaced this (in October 23) so it was brand new when we stayed! Bedrooms (and beds) are very comfortable and having more than 1 bathroom/shower is great. The garden area is lovely with lots of bird tables and feeders which were all full on our arrival (not sure whether this was from the previous guests or whether these are topped up by the caretakers!). The local pub is just round the corner and we can highly recommend! We did have one minor issue during our stay which I fed back to the owners directly and they responded immediately to say they would look into it. Overall this is a brilliant property and I would definitely book again if we were visiting the area in future.

Spacious, clean and cozy. An ideal base for exploring the Lakes and yet if you didnât fancy going anywhere there are plenty of things to do. A wide variety of board games available to make fun with, jigsaws etc. We are seriously considering coming back maybe next summer sometime. Thank you very much.

It didn't heat up. We noticed that previous guests had reported this fault too. All the TV's & aerial booster were off when we arrived. It was frustrating, no information was given but we found the switches eventually & the main lounge TV had someone's Prime account logged on which we couldn't log out of. Despite these frustrations we had a lovely time, the garden was great for the dogs & bbqs. Good information on local walks & the Black Labrador pub was excellent.
