The owners were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. It was a last minute booking due to a dying relative and they could not have been more accommodating. Made a very difficult time a little bit easier. And the house is just a home away from home.

Lovely property, however if you have mobility problems the seats in the lounge are quite low you may have difficulty getting up. The property is well placed for visiting the south lakes with Coniston being forty minutes away. Lots of lovely touches from the owners and the kitchen is well provided with condiments and everything you need in a kitchenRead more. Overall a great place to stop. Hide
