Guests consistently highlight the cosy atmosphere, well-equipped interiors, and spacious, modern bathrooms. The location is ideal for walkers and those seeking tranquillity, with a friendly local shop and pub nearby. While the kitchen is small and the cottage can be cold on arrival, these are minor points compared to the overall positive experience.

A very comfortable house, in a very quiet village, on the doorstep of the northern lakes, and easy drive of north Cumbria and south Scotland. Only two less than wonderfuls ... both of which the pre-details make very clear ... the very small kitchen area, and the absence of any garden. A fabulous history of the house and its nearby properties, than the in-house information file only scratches the surface of.
