Great position and lovely views of Catbells and glimpse of Derwentwater from the lounge and bedroom. Skiddaw the other way. Can leave the car and walk in so many directions- fells, park, mountainsComfortable and good equipment. I personally found the mattress a bit too firm and the duvet thin. Didn't bother my husband. We were there on a chilly week. But our 4th time here as we have enjoyed it very much
