We've been holidaying in the lake district for 30yrs and this is one of the best places we've stayed. It's a lovely, well equipped flat and the location is perfect.

Lovely one bedroom cottage. Well equipped kitchen. Only a short walk to the carpark and village. Very heplful cleaning/maintenance staff. The parking permit was acceptable in many carparks around the area, so was a big plus.
