Many thanks for the colourful egg cups and change of bedding twice during our last stay. some suggestions: there doesn't seem to be a teapot, no plug for the kitchen sink, the smaller of shower fittings in bathroom next to bunk bedroom is broken, the instruction booklets for the Dryer and other pieces of electrical equipment very difficult to find, (could be left in one of the drawers, and all those out of date disposed of!), Parasols would be more than welcome!

A group of us stayed for the weekend and it was perfect for what we needed. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had plenty of space for everyone to relax. The location was great too â a quiet village but close to Cartmel and surrounding areas to explore. It made a perfect base for a weekend away. The hosts were very helpful and easy to communicate with, which made everything run smoothly. We would definitely recommend staying here and would happily return in the future.
