Extremely clean and well maintained, comfortable, with excellent views over to Catbells. Plenty of cleaning products for all occasions if needed. Ample cutlery/ crockery. Everything you could wish for in a home from home. The 2 small dogs loved the garden and even our westie could not find an escape route it is that secure. One downside for some might be the steep slopes of the garden. We have already booked for next year.

We had such a lovely time and were so lucky with the weather. A lovely house and garden. Timed it for a heatwave and the only suggestions would be upstairs got very hot and stiffling and we could have done with umbrellas for the garden. Such a lovely place, well stocked and close to lots of amenities and walks.
