We absolutely loved this beautiful cottage and will definitely stay here again. On arrival we couldn't belive the size of it, for a family of 4 it's absolutely huge. The entire cottage was spotless with absolutely everything you could possibly need and more. The garden area was beautiful and a lovely spot to sit with a morning coffee overlooking the stunning lake district scenery.Walkers are spoilt for choice with walks for abilities on the doorstep, if walking isn't your thing a short drive through the gorgeous landscape will land you in one of the many beauty spots. There arent any shops within walking distance so come prepared with essentials- this was clear from the information given before we arrived and absolutely no issue, a 20-30 minute drive to the closest food stores isn't any real hardship when the drive is such a pleasure! The owners were lovely and couldn't do enough for us, even contacting us before our stay to inform us of roadworks which may potentially disrupt our journey and calling again when we'd arrived to check all was OK. We've stayed in many self catering cottages/apartments and have never had an owner do this - it was much appreciated. Overall, we cannot recommend this lovely cottage enough. It's a real home from home and absolute gem of a find - we will be back!

One of the most tranquil places to stay. Very well equipped throughout. Clean and tidy. Plenty of space for the family to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere that the location has to offer. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get away from it all.
