Our stay here had everything you could wish for: a warm, beautifully kept space that felt instantly welcoming, stunning views of the fells and Ullswater right on the doorstep, a perfect balance of peace and convenience with village walks and hikes just minutes away. The cottagewas cosy yet spacious, well-equipped, and ideal for relaxing evenings after crisp days outdoors, making it feel like a real home from home. Welcoming the New Year in such a special setting was unforgettable, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
