A wonderful stay with friends to celebrate my 50th! The cottage was beautiful, location stunning and information for guests excellent.We initially couldn’t find the lock box on arrival and shared our amusement of trying to find the fourth bedroom but couldn’t fault the attention to detail and how well equipped the cottage was.

Charming cottage in beautiful countryside.

Charming cottage in a peaceful location. Only a short drive to Newby Bridge and Bowness on Windermere. Step out into gorgeous rolling countryside, leafy lanes, secluded scenic walks. Lovely neighbours. A cosy pub within a one mile walk. It had everything we needed.

Easter stay

We had a lovely time in this gorgeous cottage. We really felt at home and everything was at hand. We struggled a bit with the shower but soon worked it out. Even the sun shone which made it a perfect holiday. Thank you Hannah.

Lovely quiet location. Great communication with host. All amenities and well stocked kitchen for basics, though we did bring our own. Toiletries provided if you didnt bring your own. Great BBQ and hot tub area, and more than enough wood to heat the hot tub.Lovely pub about 10 mins walk away with a great food menu.Parking for 3 cars easily.

Perfect

We stayed here on the way back from Cornwall and we only wished we had stayed longer. Not only dog friendly for our pooch but the cottage is just beautiful, lots of interesting fruit trees in the garden to keep our little one interested. Coming back and lighting the fire after a day on the fells was simply wonderful!
