Plenty of space for coats, shoes etc. We liked the âno keyâ access to the apt as it meant you couldnât get locked out - it worked so well. The bed was large and comfortable. The equipment was good quality. Overall it was the best place weâve stayed in the Lake District. Only 2 small gripes - a clear message about towels and tea towels being provided would be helpful. More mugs would have been useful.
