This cottage is a delight.

This cottage is a delight. Quiet location but close to Keswick for all amenities. The views are superb and we loved watching the birds (especially the antics of the pheasants) from the comfy chairs in the bedroom. We tried some of the walks from the door, but unfortunately there had been so much rain in the preceding days/weeks that the ground was extremely boggy and the areas in front of gates were like swimming pools! However we thoroughly enjoyed walking in places like Borrowdale just a short car drive away. The cottage is spacious and the beds were very comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with crockery, glasses and cooking utensils, as well as cleaning materials. Just remember to take things like milk and sugar as well as your tea and coffee so you can make a brew when you arrive!The heating is oil-fired and as the boiler is in the kitchen this did create a smell which our son didn't like, but it didn't spoil our stay and we would love to return in the future.
