Whistling Green is in an idyllic location with lovely walks from the door. Other areas of the Lakes are easily accessible. A few pubs a short drive away served good food. The cottage itself was comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

Lovely house in stunning location. Very peaceful and the log fire was a delight in the cooler evenings. Phil was a great host and on hand if required.
