It was comfortable and I slept well. The property is part of a working farm and I liked being around all of the chickens, geese and goats who live there.

The kitchen facilities were limited, i.e. a very small counter top oven with two hobs but adequate for our needs. Situated in a beautiful location ideal for walking or going further afield by car.

I think it might be challenging to cook for 2 but there are plenty of pubs a short drive away and its an easy walk to Ravenglass where there are several pubs that do food. Good base to explore the western lakes. This is on a working farm so that means animals, the noise didn't disturb me.
