Great location short walk from the lake. Many pubs and restaurants only a 5 minutes walk away. Cottage was clean, homely and spacious. Well worth the money.

I have been coming to the Lakes for years but I can honestly say this house is a hidden gem. Beautifully decorated, well stocked, cosy, comfortable and everything and more that we wanted in a house. We will definately be back.
