Fantastic cosy peaceful cottage with stunning views. The selection of books, maps, and games was really thoughtful and we made great use of the Wainright books. The directions for how to find the cottage were great and the whole area is stunning with fantastic walks on the doorstep. The deepest water, the highest mountain and the smallest church inRead more England are all on the doorstep of the cottage. We came stocked up with food for the week as the nearest shop is about an hour away. Hide

Really comfortable accommodation and a property befitting the area. The location is ideal for exploring the western fells and west coast. The provision of the tea, coffee and milk sachets was a nice touch.
