The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The location is perfect and the views of the lake from the upstairs lounge are stunning. The owners went out of their way to assist us when we arrived late for our online food delivery due to problems on the M6.

It perfectly suited our 3 generational family holiday with enough space and comfort to accommodate all our needs. Our first day it poured down and the house effortlessly allowed all of us to have the space to spread out and survive! It is well decorated, rooms are spacious, especially the upstairs reception rooms and all are comfortable. Kitchen and family dining room are great for feeding the hordes. We absolutely loved our time here and only wish we could have stayed for longer. We will be back! Of note, we had one minor problem with the cooker on arrival and the owners were fantastic in reacting and sorting it out within hours. Very impressive.

The house is a very comfortable and appealing place to spend time. The location is perfect -- in the beautiful countryside but just a short drive into Keswick. Spotlessly clean and well-maintained.
