Will start with the positives; Great location, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, everything you need for def catering, pool booking system works well, clean and tidy pool changing rooms, decent bar and restaurant, the view from the jacuzzi is amazing, close to Penrith and Keswick (10-15mins) with lots to see and do within a reasonable drive. Negatives; Cleanliness of the cottage was somewhat to be desired. Ashtray full of fag butts on the balcony, fag butt on the floor under the sofa, light fittings donât look like theyâve been cleaned this year, upstairs carpets didnât look like they had been vacuumed before we arrived, despite a 2 floored carpeted cottage thereâs no hoover and despite asking for one housekeeping didnât bring it over. The upside down figuration isnât required, thereâs no benefit as there arenât any views from the windows. The wi-fi is hit and miss, wasnât working at all for 24hrs of our stay and when it was available it kept dropping out and isnât very strong. Needs a smart TV in this day and age. Cleanliness of the cottages seemed to be a common theme with other guests we spoke to. Overall though, we thought the village was ideal for our requirements and a great base for local activities. A new sofa and a bigger smart TV and it would be fantastic, but I guess thereâs a reason that itâs cheaper than the neighbouring cottages. We will be back, but with a hoover!

Property was welcoming & very clean upon arrival and equipped with all we needed during our 1 week stay. Only disappointment I feel necessary to mention in my honest review is that the double bed was rather uncomfortable/ hard. However this would not put us off returning to the property in the future.

Could find no faults with the property and the site was very clean as well
