A wonderful spacious clean cottage with lots of thoughtful touches. Extremely well equipped, warm, plenty of hot water, good showers and comfy beds. The games room was well used by the youngsters as was the playground across the road. Great location for walks straight from the doorstep and an easy bike . It could not be better. Thank you

Great space, ideal for a large group of friends. Clean and airy. Good space for socialising and catching up. Ideal location in a small quaint town, with Keswick just around the corner. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Hosts also chucked in a couple of nice local treats which was very thoughtful.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is great for Keswick and Whinlatter walks. The house is well equipped and clean.

This 6 bedroom property suited us perfectly for our family birthday celebration, as there were 5 children and 7 adults. It is well equipped and comfortable. We loved the views from the house and the garden. The village has a nice coffee shop, a choice of pubs, and a shop. There is a good bus service which we used to travel into Keswick and CockermoRead moreuth, both pleasant and interesting towns to explore. Nearby Whinlatter forest is a great place for all ages, and there is plenty to do in the area. Hide
