The property was beautiful and had everything you needed. Perfect space for two. All the little touches by the owner made it even more special. The biscuit's and Kendal mint cake welcome gift and the little soaps and chocolate were so special. Also providing the tea coffee and chocolate made it feel like a hotel stay. The only thing that stopped it getting top marks for comfort was the mattress on the bed it was a bit uncomfortable but even that didnât spoil our stay. It was perfect and the owners were helpful and friendly. Especially as we forgot some keys and they phoned us immediately so we could go back and get them. We will definitely book to stay again on our next visit to the lakes. Thank you Dawn and Simon, hopefully see you again soon.
