This is a lovely, cosy bungalow with everything you need. It’s immaculate and located in a very peaceful village, with lovely walks from the door. So many beautiful Lake District gems are a short drive away, with picturesque Pooley Bridge just a 5 min drive. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend Crosslands.
