! Spotlessly clean and the photos on the listing don't do it justice - it is an exceptionally cosy and comfortable cottage that was perfect for us and our two dogs (completely enclosed garden). Everything is well thought out with treats upon arrival and the location was great for visiting popular Lake District sites and also the coast. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
