We were a group of 6 adults and it was a perfect size for us. Clean & good facilities, warm & comfortable. Beautiful views (although was quite misty whilst we were there). The local village (Staveley) is about 1.5 miles away down a little country lane, there is a great pub, a brewery, coffee shops etc there and only 15 mins from Windermere / Bowness. Would definitely come back to this accommodation.

Lovely spacious rooms and well equipped kitchen. Each bedroom has its own enduite. Stunning views of the countryside. Sheep were quite often just outside the back of the property which was nice. Would highly recommend this property and hope to come back another year.

The facilities are great and it's close enough to Staveley to go for a good walk, but far enough away to enjoy the peace. It's well located between Ambleside and Windermere.
