A very comfortable well equipped house for 5 couples. We had an excellent few days mostly without moving the cars! So much on the doorstep! Only minor grouse was size of shower facility in one of the rooms.

The house suited our requirements for a short family break and it was good to be so near Ullswater. The children appreciated being able to play on the large lawn. Pooley Bridge is an extremely busy, touristy village and if you need to buy groceries, you are better going to Penrith where there is a decent number of supermarkets..
