We had to buy tablets, as well as a cafetiere to make coffee. So the house was lovely but would have really appreciated a fuller kitchen.

The furnishings and decorations are beautiful. The kitchen is very well equipped. The cottage is set in a quiet holiday village alongside a river. An old railway line, now popular with walkers and cyclists, is on the doorstep and this takes you into Keswick. We would highly recommend this cottage
