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.

Lovely well equipped cottage with lovely views and all the amenities you need.Access to the garden is not direct from the house but just around the cottage.Everything for two couples and a dog were perfect. Quiet with easy access to a path to Pooley Bridge.We all loved our week there and would highly recommend this cottage
