Stayed here with family (including 2 dogs) over Christmas and New Year. The cottage was very homely and a great base from which to explore the lakes. It was very well equipped and there is a great outdoor space for al fresco dining in warmer months looking out into the countryside and ample parking (we had 3 cars).

Beautifully renovated cottage, spotlessly, clean and comfortable, and the garden was also a massive bonus overlooking the cow field. I could have stayed for a month!! There is so much to do in the area with easy access to the whole of the lakes, but particularly the northern part which is less touristy than around Windermere so suited us perfectly.Read more A drive along the Solway coast was a highlight along with a boat ride at Keswick.

Lovely cottage well presented. Very convenient for the Cumbrian coast, the Lake District and the western part of Hadrian's Wall. Well equipped - only reason for giving four not five stars was the lack of a shaving point, however the attentive owner remedied this by providing a 2 to 3 pin adaptor within hours of bringing it to her attention.
