An enjoyable stay in a well equipped cottage which was spotlessly clean with comfortable bed. Very nice welcome courtesy tray which included cakes and a bottle of wine in fridge. WI fi signal was good which enabled me to catch up on work on the wet days. Walks from the doorstep and only a short walk across country side paths into Pooley Bridge which is blessed with good eating places. In Pooley Bridge is a private car park at a very reasonable £4 per day. Owners of Cottage were there if needed and very pleasant welcome, without being intrusive. Our third visit and we will visit again.
