Very comfortable cottage with fantastic views of Ullswater Lake. We were able to walk our dog in the paddock which was great. If I had to find a negative about Lake View Farm it would be the difficulty of driving out of the property on to the main road, a mirror on the opposite side of the road would have been extremely beneficial. Otherwise, I would recommend to friends and family for a great place to stay.

Excellent location as a base, beautiful lake view, high quality finish and very well equipped, clean, spacious property. Only 2 side comments, there is no private outdoor space which wasn't a problem visiting in Feb but in the summer would be a shame and the bed is described as king size but although very comfy, seemed much closer to a double in size. Would highly recommend and would return.
