The cottage is well equipped, especially the kitchen, and there are lots of board games. There is a great cafe close by (northern lakes base camp). Beds are comfy, but the rooms are very small. Overall good stay.

The cottage itself has everything that you need, absolutely spotless and very spacious. We love it here, the site grounds are beautiful. Location is perfect on site as well as visiting other areas. The pool is lovely and perfect for all ages. Aqua fun is great. Breakfast with Santa was fantastic. There was a magic show during our stay, he was absolutely brilliant. It was worth every penny, there was also a disco one night, didn't keep the children entertained for very long though. Could do with more on for children, there are so many children on site, kids activities should also be included. Overall can't wait to go back, we love HoneyBee cottage.

We had a fabulous week with our grandchildren and enjoyed the swimming pool every day. We used the gym, steam room and the sauna. The property is equipped with everything that you might need. We cooked most days and not once did I need something that wasn't there. The DVD collection has something for everyone and if you forget your book there's a whole bookcase to choose from. The location is great for visiting all the highlights of the Lake District. 10 miles to Keswick in one direction and 10 miles to Penrith in the other. I asked the grandchildren where they would like to go next year and they want to come back to Honey Bee Cottage. We will be back!
