Lovely comfortable cottage in a quieter…

Lovely comfortable cottage in a quieter part of the Lakes between Windermere and Coniston. Recently restored and refurbished, fully equipped, lots of homely touches, very warm and cosy. Private secure woods were perfect for our labrador.

Great for a Group of Friends

Location, facilities and comfort were excellent.
Some areas required a little better cleaning. This can easily be rectified and did not detract from our stay.
We would stay here again as it was perfect for our group of 7. The 4 en suite bedrooms and the large communal area were excellentas was the peaceful location.

Fantastic stay for our running weekend.

Eight adults, and a dog spent a wonderful weekend at the property. We were in the area for a running and walking weekend in the Elan Valley and the location and house were perfect for our needs. The house has stunning views, a gorgeous garden, and is clean, spacious and comfortable. A great stay.
