Barbara and Dan were very helpful and friendly owners, lovely welcome pack on arrival. The cottage is superb from stepping into the large kitchen , and upstairs to the lounge area and bathroom and bedroom area. Itâs very tastefully furnished and a has a very luxurious bathroom with under floor heating in bathroom and kitchen. Very peaceful place to stay and great for access into Penrith and Keswick and the lakes. We loved our stay and have booked for next year already. Thank you Barbara and Dan, for a lovely welcome and fab stay.

Everything that you could wish for is supplied, including a welcome gift of uncut bread, butter, mince pies and milk. Having a hot and cold tap outside is so useful for washing muddy paws and boots. Didn't have the pleasure of meeting Barbara but Dan was so welcoming and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!
