Had a great stay, good location and very clean. Lack of washing machine and very uncomfortable sofa is our only criticism.

We could not have asked for a better location for the cottage.
We could not have asked for a better location for the cottage. It is easy to travel to, just a short drive off the A66, and yet there are so many fantastic hikes possible from the doorstep so we could leave the car behind. The cottage had everything we needed as a couple for the weekend and as a base for exploring the lakes. There was an issue with the shower not draining, however we reported this and the staff were happy to resolve this straightaway. We would stay again, thank you!
