The cottage is in a beautiful spot with breathtaking views. A warm and cosy cottage with a log burner and filled with everything you could need for a break in the Lake District no matter what the weather. The host greeted us just after we arrived and was extremely helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. It is advisable to take food staples with you as local shops and pubs are not that close.We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would return again in a heartbeat.

Nous avons pasé un excellent séjour, le gite est ravisant et offre une vue splendide sur la nature et les collines environnantes. Il y a de.nombreuses randonnées à effectuer depuis le gite et les lacs sont accesibles facilement. Le gite est très agréable et nous avons été très bien accueillis par le propriétaire Jeff. Un endroit calme et reposant que nous recommandons.
