Brasscam is in a stunning location and is a really lovely place. Garden is perfect for children. Downstairs especially is superb with recent refurbishment and a beautiful glazed extension. The bedrooms and bathrooms are less up to date but we would recommend.

Peaceful, beautiful rural location. You can walk from the door into seatoller and seathwaite or down into borrowdale. The cottage living space area was light and warm with a very well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed sitting in the enclosed garden, which backs onto a field after our walks.
