Beautiful house, lovely surroundings. The Lake District was, as always, stunning. Unfortunately the directions we were sent are incorrect - you need to turn left off the B5305 from the South, not right. There was also an isue with the heating - when we arrived the temperature in the house was 15. A couple of days in we received a mesage that if we continued to boost the heating we would be charged as the temperature was set to 18.5. It was only once I sent a picture of the thermostat showing that this was not the case that the owners agreed we could boost it to 18.5. They did also provide some extra wood for the fires.
