An ideal base being just a few minutes drive from Ambleside & close to so many other locations. An added advantage is that there are a number of signed walks from the cottage & local shops offer a guide that detail other walks too. We had a wonderful stay & Iâm looking forward to our next visit Thanks

There is everything you need for an enjoyable stay inside. If I had to be picky I would say that the parking would be an issue in peak season, but as we stayed in February and we were the only people using the parking this was not a problem for us.

It was all fab, thank you. Very high quality and cleanliness. One thing we noticed was the UHT milk sachets on the milk tray were out of date. This didn't affect us at all since we had out own milk, but might be worthwhile having the cleaning crew check their stock. ^ Haven't published the review because I don't think my note about the milk is relevant for future bookings. Really wish there was a way to provide feedback to the owner that is separate from feedback for the property because I would give it glowing reviews.
