Brilliant location, very comfortable house, great kitchen and lovely conservatory with stunning views up Buttermere. You can do many walks from straight out the house and it's only a 10 minute drive to Honister or 15 minutes to Seatoller for many other walks. Local pub the Bridge is a welcome alternative to cooking and there's a lovely cafe next to it. All in all brilliant stay !

A peaceful location, perfect for walkers. Some roads are narrow, twisty and steep so may not suit everyone. Well equipped and spacious cottage with beautiful views. WiFi connection but no phone signal. As per previous reviews, there is an issue with the bins which were overflowing with 2 bin bags left on top when we arrived. These were soon pecked open by the birds. There is simply not enough space in the one general waste bin given the collections are only every 2-3 weeks. The owner could alleviate the issue by applying for another larger general waste bin, and paying a local person to help supervise it. There is some misleading information left in the cottage implying that food waste can be left in the garden waste bin but after talking to neighbours, we think that only applies to unbagged, uncooked, vegetable/fruit waste. The local council are going to be rolling out food waste collections eventually which will help. It's a shame this place is spoilt by bins.
