The property is in a beautiful location, with access to many places of interest. We loved Appleby and Kirkby Stephen which are very close, plus Rutter Falls, a totally unexpected bonus with very easy access. The upside down layout works well, providing spacious living accommodation, comfortably furnished and well equipped. The en-suite bedrooms have sleep inducing beds in generously sized rooms. The local pub is very close and well worth a visit; the village itself is delightful and offers many opportunities to go walking or just meander around. We would love to go back.

Host was exceptionally welcoming, kindly providing milk, butter, bread and eggs, tea and coffee. Beds were very comfortable, plenty of storage for clothing. Powerful shower over the bath and good electric shower in the other ensuite. Lovely maintained outside seating area. Friendly local pub in easy walking distance - book a table in advance. Lovely village walks. Whatever the weather we always found something to do/visit.
