A lovely property in a great location. Keswick is 5 minutes away if you need anything! Access to the back garden is steep and not for those with mobility issues - but our dogs (lab sized) loved it. We will be back.

Delightful cottage in a lovely village with walks from the door. Its elevated position gives fabulous views to the west, the extensive hillside garden to the rear however is unsuitable for young children

This is a superb Lakeland home with outstanding views over the fells and surrounding area. It was easy to find and access with only minor manoeuvres. It offers everything you could ask for and require for a very comfortable and cosy stay and offers easy access to the Northern Lakes. We loved our stay here and would definitely be back.

We visit the Lakes every year as a family and this cottage was one of our faves. The cottage itself is gorgeous, all fitted to a high standard and really cosy. Location was perfect, Keswick a 5 min drive away. Only negative is a 5pm check in is too late, we were unpacking in the dark, not ideal with small children.

What a great cottage, it's so wam and snug in the.winter with both an Aga and Woodburning stove. The kids both enjoy staying here and there's lots of space for the 4 adults and 2 older teenagers plus 2 dogs. It's clean with all that you need to enjoy cooking/baking. All bedrooms are comfortable. The housekeeper (Alison?) was amazing, went out of heRead morer way to help with an early delivery of shopping and then as we were slightly late gathering all our stuff together wasn't rushing us.
