Great location, great place to stay. Some items we had to clean before using as there was a strong smell of grease. Hob was dirty when we arrived, it needs a deep clean. Very well stocked, and was very comfortable.

Great base to tour the Lake District and Pennines from. Cottage was lovely and clean, kitchen was missing a few things like dishwasher tablets and the ensuite shower was a bit funky, but the place was amazing value for money.

Lovely place to stay stayed twice now and definitely go back. Nice and quiet and plenty of space in accommodation. Nothing.
