I booked this as a multi generational family holiday for myself, my husband, son and daughter in law, 2 granddaughters and our great grandson and dog. The bungalow was perfect with everything we could ask for and within a short drive of everything we needed. The addition of cows and sheep as neighbours was an added bonus.The drive into Kendal was only 30mins away but there is also a beach and aquarium closer if you don’t want to drive too far.I would definitely book to stay again, really loved the peace and quiet
