We had a wonderful stay in this lovely house, a stones trhow from the centre, very easy to acces all of the resturants, with ample parking outside. There were lots of lovey touches inside the house-with an X box for the kids, as well as lots of board games, chess and books to read. We would definatley stay again.

Robinson is a lovely, comfortable, spacious home from home. A great base for a lake district holiday whatever the weather (we were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny week).

One of the best places we have ever stayed. The parking area is a huge bonus.
