Beautiful Getaway
An absolutely beautiful property in a gorgeous part of the Lake District. The property had character in abundance if not a little bit tired regarding decor. It certainly was in the middle of nowhere though so you must have a car to access the house and surrounding towns.

Great location, lots of good walks around the property
We loved staying here. It suited our needs very well with washer and dryer after watersports and hiking. The living space was lovely, the garden and acess was great. Good information about how to get there. The beds were VERY comfortable. Loved the fireplace. Nice local shop with tearoom. All very charming and what you want from your holiday in the Lake District. It was a wonderful family break.
