What an excellent gem of a place to stay. The views from every window are stunning. We packed everything from tin openers to tea towels and didn't need them as everything was included, in fact we didn't want for anything.The beds were very comfortable and the rooms are homely and spacious. The added bonus of a garage, especially in the winter time, saved a lot of scraping the windscreen, plus making the car secure.What a fabulous week's holiday we had. In fact we took my Mother-in-Law, who had never been to the Lake District, and she is making plans to return!Thank you so much for a thoroughly wonderful time. We will return.

Enjoyed waking up every morning with a cup of tea sitting in the armchair looking out of my bedroom window. Thought it a excellent idea to have armchairs in the window

Problem with boiler and smell of heating oil in apartment
10.0 / 10.0
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.
