Perfectly situated to access all the Lakes have to offer. The accomodation is spacious and has a very cosy feel, the kitchen is well stocked with all you'd need including kitchen foil and cling film! Parking is a first come, first served basis (and tight) so I would advise parking up and using other forms of transport, or walking from the front door. I had a lovely stay
