It's perfect for 2, lots of space, well laid out but is still cosy and welcoming. Well equipped kitchen (even has a pizza cutter!), welcoming pack of butter, milk and homemade scones. Location is excellent for exploring this beautiful mostly undiscovered part of Cumbria.

The interior was thoughtfully designed, clean, comfortable and equipped with everything that you would need. The flowers and scones were a nice welcoming touch. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We had a lovely stay here.
