Would loved to stay there again. Fantastic location, parking space included, very clean accommodation, very generous welcome pack of local gifts left, all facilities that you would need were provided, including airer and drying cupboard which is very useful after rainy days in the lakes. Excellent shower and bathroom facilities. Would definitely stay again. Upstairs tvs did not work. This was not an isue for us but worth noting.
