The property is full of character and history and Logan, Jeanie and George were very welcoming and knowledgeable. It is a beautiful location that is perfect for exploring the Lakes.

The cottage was beautiful, very well equipped and the owners friendly and helpful. The cottage is a short driving distance from Kendal and, at the same time, sits "in the middle of nowhere", which I loved. No light pollution at night so you can watch the stars.
