    Alun was an attentive host. Great location. Thank you again!

    May be a big pan would be good to allow you to make a one pot meal.

    The cottage is extremely comfortable and well furnished - excellent wifi and plenty of smart TV options (essential for my teenage daughter). Beds upstairs very comfortable and an extremely powerful shower. Great location with both a coffee shop and excellent pub within 2 minutes walk. Short drives to Ambleside, Grasmere and Little Langdale with many further eating out options. Huge variety of walks and amazing views in the valley. Didn't meet Alun, the owner, face to face, but we corresponded by text and he was very helpful 0 being able to check in a couple of hours early was hugely appreciated. Only point for improvement - a few cooking accessories such as foil and clingfilm would be good: we had to buy our own and left these behind when we departed; it seems a bit wasteful if every visitor does the same thing.
