Very spacious cottage, lots of room especially if you have dogs. Warm, comfortable and in an excellent location for visiting other parts of Cumbria. Jacqui was very welcoming and friendly, the little touches of fresh milk, eggs and flowers were very nice. We would stay again when next in Cumbria.

Lovely, spacious cottage. Had everything you need. Eggs and milk provided on arrival. Nice enclosed garden which was perfect for the dogs. The cottage is based on a very busy B road, which took some getting used to, but ear plugs are provided. Good base for all the sights - Keswick, Cockermouth, Derwentwater, Buttermere, Catsgill, Penrith and the cRead moreoast. A real home from home. Hide

We enjoyed our stay and there were some thoughtful touches. There was a friendly welcome and we were confident that if we needed to get the owners attention we could have done so easily. It was well equipped and the beds were very clean comfortable.
