Holly House in the centre of Pooley Bridge within easy walking distance of several pubs, a convenience store and restaurants. The house is in excellent decorative order. Very comfortable with 5 bedrooms and good ensuite bathrooms. The Kitchen is excellent, very big and well equipped. The lounge is very comfortable for 8 to 10 people, as is the dining room with a very large table which will easily seat 10. Overall a very nice house in an excellent location.
