Beautiful accommodation within a quiet location, within walking distance from Lake Windermere and from the charming centre of town, with shops and pubs/restaurants etc. The accommodation was clean inside and the outside seating area was private and very pretty with flowers and shrubs. The kitchen was perhaps missing a few utensils, but aside from this, the property was top-notch and I would definitely recommend to others.

Alles was prima! Het enige minpuntje vonden we dat de zon ons s morgens en aan het eind vd dag (de momenten om te ontbijten en te borrelen) niet bereikte vanwege de vele hoge bomen. Pam bood ons later aan dat we in haar tuin mochten zitten, maar helaas was het weer toen iets minder.....
