Nice cottage and location not to far from the shops with good walks to take the dogs on. Ideal for the lakes and waterfalls. Would and will recommend as a good and comfortable base in the Lake District.

It was a lovely little property, perfect for the 2 of us and our dogs and would have been just fine with another 2 people in the other bedroom. A stair gate would be ideal with the dogs as we dont allow them upstairs at home but we improvised with a step ladder. Also being on the path straight from front door it would be handy to have a curtain oveRead morer the front door for on a night time. Very little could improve this cottage but realistically it was great and fine as it was. Had everything you could need Hide
