The cottage was lovely and we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Plenty of room for the 5 of us, plus our Labradoodle.The cottage is well equipped and had everything we needed.Great location to enjoy walks in High Lorton including a walk to the local pub, the Wheatsheaf Inn where we had a lovely meal. The food was fantastic.We also visited Buttermere, Crummock Water and Dodd Wood Forest all within a 20 min drive.

Had a great week at the Corner House. Weather was poor but that didn’t spoil the enjoyment. Excellent welcome pack, thanks for that. Lovely character cottage, loved the multi fuel burner but only really used the living room one as that was enough. Really friendly place, lost count how many people stopped for chats walking my dog 😁. Looking forward to returning. Mal and Cooper..
