Absolutely loved this accommodation...the views over Ullswater made by holiday complete, the ever changing horizon as the weather sweeps down the Lake! Amazing! The accommodation was ideal, 3 adults one 5 year old and one Labrador.. very well equipped kitchen, lovely and warm. Ive seen other people mention the location of the bathroom but its not a deal breaker....could do with under floor heating perhaps. The grounds are great for children and it was warm enough for us to sit outside and soak up the views.
