Lovely well kept cottage in a lovely quaint village. Opposite a nice friendly pub (literallly 20yrds opposite) and in a great location to explore the lake district and beyond. Cottage exceeded our expectations. Car parking is great but could be clearer in where to park (we had a friendly neighbour point us to where to park) . Sofas are bit worn . Comfy beds, lovely shower (there are 2 showers in the property) and all the utensils provided (plus a dolce gusto coffee machine) Highly recommend

Itâs a village I lived in for a few years, so was nice to revisit knowing the area very well, see the changes and developments. The cottage is well equipped over 3 floors with 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Kitchen has everything you should need to make your stay feel like home from home. The only downside to the property that there is no garden or outdoor space other than a parking space however, the village is friendly and there are some nice walks on your doorstep. The only thing I would suggest to the owner would be to have a mirror in the bedrooms next to a plug socket so guests can do their hair. Thank you for a relaxing break, just what we needed.

Other feedback suggested that this would be a less than an enjoyable stay and in some ways I was very much looking forward to experiencing 'the worst stay ever' as described by others. We came away being very disappointed. Far from this being the dreadful experience expected we really enjoyed the week at the cottage. Very homely, very comfortable, great facilities, spot on location with a pub literally across the road, we could quite happily have stayed much longer! Many thanks for allowing us to share your cottage.
