Miterdale A Wonderful Home in the Idyllic Duddon Valley

The property was beautifully situated in the Western Lake District surrounded by the most incredible views of nature. The house was perfectly clean and had all of the amenities that we could possibly think of. Our favourite part of the property was definitely the sitting room; the fireplace was so lovely and logs were provided for us. The TV had netflix and sky already logged in for us, so this made for a lovely cosy night in un front of the fireplace. The property was so much bigger than we initially thought and made for a really lovely extended weekend. We especially loved the small furnishings that had cows on them and the drive through ‘sheep country’ as we called it to get to the property! We will definitely be hoping to come back at some point!

I don’t think there was anything we didn’t like about the property! It’s definitely the sort of place you’ll need your own transport for as it’s rather remote but we loved this aspect of it as it felt like we were really submersed in the local nature and way of life.

We were pleasantly surprised how big this apartment is. Plenty of room to do my yoga. Private parking at entrance, flight of steps up to the front door. Everything we needed, especially washing machine and dryer. All facilities worked well. Really good shower, constant temperature and good water pressure. Beautiful views in remote location, plenty of walking trails nearby or just relax. Clean and comfortable. Lots of maps and books about the area. Would stay again.

If anything, the sofas are getting a bit worn, but nothing to be too worried about.

The apartment was very spacious and had everything we needed. It was in a very quiet location. The caretaker downstairs was really helpful and friendly too.

Well on arrival we were greeted by massive bugs swarming around the lights at the entrance, these turned out to be Maybugs, which are only around for a few weeks. There is no garden either, which I think was mentioned, so difficult as we had a dog. The worst thing was the location, the roads are very narrow and hilly in this area and we unfortunately chose the week when they closed one of the better roads (still hilly at one point) so we had to get in and out on a very busy narrow twisty and hilly road, which our car struggled on, especially when full of luggage. It caused us so much anxiety, that we left the apartment and ended our holiday early.
