Having the open space outside for the dogs was a real bonus. The property was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Such a great location as a base to explore the local area.

We appreciated the fields around the farm and the access to Estthwaite water was a real bonus and to walk our dog there was great. Some of the kitchen equipment could do with upgrading and the outside space felt a bit unloved but this did not detract from our holiday. We would definitely return to Loweswater.

Nice area to exercise our dog opposite the cottage, you must clean up any mess by your dog on the field as children also play on the same area. Bed really comfy, has everything you need and close to the Tower Bank Arms pub. The only criticism was the lack of sugar and tea bags in the cottage. There was just a few in a small jar.
