A cosy,comfortable small ,well equipped, cottage in an attractive village .In the photos of the cottage it appeared to have a back garden with a beautiful view Unfortunately this garden belonged to another cottage and we had no access to it only a pocket hand kerchief front garden.We still thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the beautiful view of garden and hills from the kitchen and bedroom windows.

The cottage felt very homely, I loved the peace & quiet of the area & the lovely scenery.There was plenty of information in the cottage about walks, could have done with a parasol for the table outside.

The cottage was clean, cosy and well equipped. Although, not large, it was fine for three of us. We were happy to share a bathroom. It is situated in a beautiful village in a stunning part of the Lake District. We loved staying there.
