Spacious house with well stocked kitchen. Family enjoyed the well maintained hot tub most days. Ye Olde Greyhound pub (delicious food) within walking /short cycling distance. 25 minute drive to most main lake district attractions but house and hot tub made up for that. 4 bathrooms, one including a jacuzzi bath which the children enjoyed.

Our stay was excellent. The facilities were great with everything that could be needed. We will certainly book again for our next trip to the Lake District.

Lovely cottage. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The host was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay, and we would definitely love to return.
