Location off the main road between Penrith and Carlisle. Good access to shops, attractions and restaurants. Perfect for exploring North and West Lakes. We went to Whitehaven, St Bees (lovely) Bassinthwaite Lake, Lowther Castle plus many other places. Nice safe enclosed garden for the dog. £25 per dog).
Some stains on carpets but only a minor issue.
Take kitchen cleaner.
Otherwise very well equipped.

Well equipped cottage, location in short driving distance to emenities and local attractions. Very good value for money.
Garden was a little unkempt which didn't bother us but it would be nice for guests in the summer to have a nice outdoor space to relax enjoy.

The property has a well equipped kitchen with microwave oven, plus an electric oven, dishwasher and washing machine. WiFi. Comfortable beds. Nice rainfall shower. Located in a quiet rural area.
Despite this being a return visit, initially, I struggled to locate the property. The best advice I can give is to search for the bus stop after turning off the A6. The property is fairly easy to spot in the daylight hours.

The location was good and the property was modern and nice and quiet.
The property was very untidy outside the front door. Lots of weeds. It Needs a thorough tidying up.
The inside of the property looked like it needed a hoover running round. The carpets weren’t very clean particularly in the smaller bedroom.
There were missing lampshades on some of the lights. the hot water did not work in the kitchen sink or the bathroom sink. This was reported on day one of our stay and nothing was done about it despite us being there for three nights.
The tv did not work as the batteries in the controller were flat.
The property has the potential to be really lovely but it doesn’t look like anyone is keeping on top of it. It’s a shame because there are lots of positives about the cottage which are being spoiled by the basics not being done properly.
