A lovely holiday cottage, a fairly well equipped kitchen and a nice seating area, two lovely on suite bedrooms, the only thing we had was the towel radiator in the main bedroom was not working. Situated at the top end if bowness so quite a hill to walk up. People have said the parking space is small but I had no problem getting my bmw estate in and out. Overall a lovely place to stay.
