A November visit. The wonderful roominess of the place was still warm and cosy. Had great fun learning to use the Aga. Cookbook supplied and very tasty results. A picture perfect view from every window. Lovely local walks. Can walk to the ferry at Lakeside one mile away and travel the full length of Windermere by boat.

We had the most perfect holiday based in a quieter part of the Lakes but in an area of outstanding beauty. The cottage was fabulous, just perfect for a big family get together. We enjoyed cooking (on the AGA) in the gorgeous kitchen and sharing meals around the dining table. With wildlife and farm animals almost at our back door - it was an ever chRead moreanging landscape. The cottage was exceptionally clean and tidy, we settled in the moment we arrived and it was very much a home away from home. Hide

Nethercroft was a delightful property to stay in. It is well equipped, clean and comfortable. The setting is quiet with lovely outlooks. We had an enjoyable and comfortable two week stay and we would not hesitate to return. The owners leave you in peace to enjoy yourselves but they are on hand if you might need them.

A very well equipped cottage set in a beautiful location. Cooking on the aga was delightful and the food tasted better. We shall missed watching the birds feeding throughout the day.
