    The cottage has a lovely location nestled in the trees and with great mountain views. The interior spaces are on the whole comfortable and well equipped, except for the bathroom which is very small. Given the beautiful view from the windows of the cottage, a deeper cleaning of the windows is recommended. Also the refrigerator should be cleaned more carefully. Apri in Google Traduttore

    Delightful country home with excellent communal areas. The kitchen was ideal for us. We’d love to cook and spend time at a big table and it was warm and cozy and friendly and cheerful. The living room is excellent and such a well-equipped bookshelf we couldn’t have even dreamed of. Everything we needed was there including the fireplace and enough beds and bed sheets and towels. We were warm and cozy and in a great location to access many other Lake District points of interest and hiking trail heads.

    We had a beautiful vacation at the cottage. Jamie is very kind and if you need anything or ask him something he is quick in respons. The cottage is perfectly located and there is lots to do in the surroundings. The cottage is comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need. Nice beds and even toys and games for our kids. We will come back for sure.

    It's great. That's why we came again. The location is peaceful and there are quite a few good local walks like Dob Gill and High Rigg where you rarely meet anyone else. Cottage is cosy and has everything you need. Plenty of hot water etc. We will probably come again another year.

    Second time here, and we loved it as much as before. Spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. Not a scrap of chintz in sight.

    Lovely quiet property with great views set back from the road gave the feeli g of being remote but in fact it was really easy to access the towns and lakes in the aren It had everything we needed for a family break with 6 adults and two dogs. The house info book was a great help particularly the routs of suggested walks direct from the cottage. The younger members of the group even ventured a refreshing dip in the waterfall up behind the house!!!

    This cottage is in a spectacular location at the foot of Castle Rock. The views are stunning and you couldn’t want to be in a better location to explore The Lakes; Keswick, Ullswater, Buttermere, Windermere are all within a short drive. There are stunning walks from the front door too. The cottage itself is wonderful. Plenty of room, well kitted out for an outdoors lifestyle (including a wet dog), a big kitchen and cosy lounge with a fantastic log burner to enjoy snuggling up after a day in the fresh air. It is all decorated in a homely way and very welcoming to return to. We were pleased with the cottage last time and the owner has continued to make improvements since we were last there. He is easy to contact and quick to respond with any problems (we forgot the property information so needed his help to get in!). All in all, a delightful stay and we will definitely be returning!
