Slight disappointment that the standard lamp near the dining table had no bulb in it & therefore didnât work. Maybe us but we couldnât get the light to work on the cooker extractor hood either.

Such a lovely setting with views of the river and fells especially when the leaves have fallen. The decor and some furniture had changed this time and were a delight, such comfortable settees and pictures relevant to the area. Pleasing welcoming touches too. I like it so much that I have already booked to return yet again.

The property is exceptional, very clean and all the things you think you may need are provided. I cannot rate this enough. 2 minutes from Keswick and I had a fantastic week. Perfectly clean and exceptionally furnished. I will be back. Thank you.
