Lots of nice touches and thought had gone into providing âextrasâ for Christmas week and for the pets. Easy and quick communications with the owners too. We had a great week and the only thing that could have improved it, wouldâve been the weather

We absolutely loved it. The cottage is situated along a coastal road with great views of the sea. We walked in to a warm and inviting home, with a lovely welcome package. Everything has been thought of, the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, the bathroom is lovely and modern, and the bedrooms were bright and airy. It is a great location to access the lakes it was just a 50min drive to Windermere, the local town of Ulverston is really nice with a great play area for the kids and we took a very windy walk upto the monument. Our puppy loved the enclosed garden and he enjoyed doing laps around the outside of the house, care has been taken to not forget our four legged friend to as there were a few toys for him aswell as a lead, bowls and treats. The communication from Helen was fantastic, and we will definitely be looking at trying the cottage in the summer so we can enjoy the garden and the surrounding area.

The cottage is easy to find with off the road parking adjacent to the property. On arrival, the cottage was warm and welcoming with a lovely gift hamper for ourselves. The property has everything you need for a home from home. It has a well equipped kitchen and some lovely extras like the coffee maker. Equipment is of a good spec and Helen and Mark have really thought carefully about what their guests may need and provided it. The cottage has a walled garden and a fantastic view of Morecambe Bay. We watched both a sunrise and the sunset with equally stunning views. It is within easy driving distance of the lakes and was a wonderful base for our trip away. I can imagine it to be a great getaway at Christmas time. I would highly recommend this cottage to friends and family. Floki recommends the ice-cream from the local âRoyâs ice creamâ van by the bay!
