We had a lovely family weekend here, the children enjoyed all the space indoors and outside. The kitchen is well equipped. We visited Maryport and Keswick which are not too far for a day trip. There is a local shop and takeaway which was great value. We loved watching the rabbits on the field at the back of the garden. We would highly recommend this property.

We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying here again. The owners were very helpful indeed and very friendly.We appreciated the effort that had gone into making the garden area a lovely place to sit and a secure place for our dog to play.Everyone had a go on the pool/snooker table and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.A little bit more cutlery and glasses would have been good for a larger group of guests.

Mostly well equipped with exceptions including very poor quality cutlery. Remarkably spacious house and rooms. Nice if rather small and partly overlooked garden. Local amenities limited especially as local pub was mostly shut but local shop was useful. Good parking and access to local places though Maryport is not very attractive.
