We loved the hot tub over looking the hills. The owners responded straight away to any queries, they left us a generous hamper & fizz which was really appreciated. We also spent one day exploring a local walk from the cottage on public footpaths and saw some incredible views. Would highly recommend this accommodation, the best weâve stayed in at the Lakes. We hope to come back again!
