A great base for discovering the Lake District and the lovely sandy beach at Silecroft. My x2 pooches were very happy there too!

We found certain things in the kitchen needed cleaning before they could be use, oven trays, frying pan etc and some need replacing. Bath waste doesn't flow away. Heating needs setting up, it came on in the middle of the first night. Other than that good house economically priced.
