Excellent, well equipped accommodation in a very rural setting.
Excellent, well equipped accommodation in a very rural setting. The road network is challenging. The cottage is served by a network of lanes that are extremely challenging to navigate. We had 3 near misses in the space of one week. That said, once you get to the main roads, you have ready access to a great variety of interesting places.

Cottage was immaculate on arrival, smelt lovely with air fresheners, something you dont get with most cottages. Bedroom on ground floor was very spacious with lots of storage space and coat hangers! Again, spotless and clean, bed was really comfyEn-suite was very modern. Cupboard in hallway for coats, also basket for shoes was a good idea. First floor lead to living area and kitchen. Kitchen very modern, full size fridge/freezer. Kitchen had everything you needed including washing up liquid, brand new dish cloth with sponge and pot towel!!. Welcome pack of teas/coffee and prosecco was a nice touch. Living room was lovely and spacious, very clean, had a homely feel to it. There was a room off the kitchen which had a couple of chairs, organ/piano and writing desk. This room could easily be made into a second bedroom which I think would be perfect, my elderly father would love it here!Parking outside was ample for one car. You were not overlooked at all. Unfortunately we didn't see any wildlife but we did hear an owl in the evening. The wheatsheaf pub is less than a 5 min walk away and serves delicious food. Location is quite central for visiting other areas, windermere, kendal and keswick are lovely towns.This is probably the nicest cottage we've ever stayed in and will definitely return.
