We've been to many holiday apartments over the years but have never been to one so well equipped and clean. The owner has obviously given a lot of thought to what a holiday-maker might need.

The cottage (flat) was perfect for a restful, quiet week, and very comfortable. As the weather was sunny and warm we sat on the balcony several times, basking in the sunshine, even needing the sunshade despite it being early April. The welcome basket, with milk in the fridge, was very much appreciated, and we found the drawer of leaflets about the Read morelocal area very useful. It was very easy to get to Hawkshead, also into Coniston, from the cottage, and of course to walk directly to Tarn Hows. Hide
