Itâs within walking distance of Bassenthwaite Lake and only a short drive from Derwent Water. The views are spectacular and itâs well connected with bus routes. Being able to use the garage to store a bike was so helpful. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The cottage was comfortable and a pleasant base to explore the local area from. There is a great supply of books and games in the little games room. The kitchen is well equipped but would benefit from some additional trays and pans. Parking was either right in front of the cottage which was great for unloading or in a slightly more accessible car park at the front of the property. We found it hard to properly dry clothing/towels/swimwear on days when the weather wasnât dry enough to hang things out but in good weather they dried easily on the line. Excellent value for money in a wonderful location. We had a great stay - thank you!

This was made very clear so not a surprise, but unusual as nowadays most cottages and Air bnb do supply them.
