Very nice Stay at this Lake District Gem!

roomy cottageclean cottageamazing groundshygiene problem

The cottage was so roomy. It was also super clean and cozy! I found a parking space really close by. The grounds were amazing. I loved the part of the hall we could see. The location was lovely. I cannot wait to visit again. It was a great experience.

Upon arrival, a cat greeted us with a rat in its mouth! It jumped onto the reception desk, a real hygiene problem. We waited 15 minutes for check-in. The staff member was eating! This was a little off-putting.

Our Two-Bedroom Cottage had preset heating ensuring warmth upon arrival, such a bonus! The cottage included clean towels and bedding, giving us all the basic support we needed. The inclusion of a Christmas tree.
