We loved this property- cosy but enough room for a family of five not to be on top of each other. Excellent location to avoid crazy Lake District crowds whilst being close enough to drive there for walks and adventures. Lots of lovely cycling and walking from the door. Well equipped kitchen ( so many properties dont give adequate sharp knives/ utenRead moresils so we really appreciate it being done properly). An incredibly peaceful village in a beautiful part of the country. Hide

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage which was a blessing because we had to spend a lot of time indoors due to the weather and sickness.

What a lovely place to stay - in a lovely village, but only 20 minutes from the motorway so easy to get to. Great base for going to the Lakes, walking in the Eden Valley or exploring nearby. Wonderful garden and well equipped cottage with wood-burner in the lounge for cosier evenings but outside space for eating and playing during the day too. GreaRead moret for kids too. Loved our stay and would happily come back. Hide
