The property is an excellent base for exploring the Southern Lake District and enjoying local pubs and nature.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with numerous reviews highlighting its spotless condition. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the owners.

The location is frequently mentioned as stunning, peaceful, and convenient for exploring the Southern Lake District. The views and quiet setting are particularly appreciated, indicating a high level of satisfaction with the location.

Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the cottage and its furnishings comfortable. The presence of two bathrooms and a comfy bed are noted, although a suggestion for a headboard indicates a slight room for improvement.

Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge area. However, some reviews mention minor issues such as appliance instructions and lighting, which slightly lower the score.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately. Therefore, the score is set to null.

    Even though easily accessible, you felt as if you were in the middle of the countryside. The upstairs lounge has wonderful views and is a bright airy room. The en-suite shower was amazing. We have never stayed in the South of Cumbria and explored new areas, there are plenty of places to visit without visiting the busy, touristy areas of the Lake District.

    Otherwise everything else was great. It was a perfect hideaway cottage. Thank you.

    Location excellent. Walking good. A few suggestions maybe. The TV in the lounge was quite small and didn't receive many channels. A larger smart TV with internet access may be an idea. A clock especially in the kitchen would be useful. I eventually found the base for the kettle tucked away in a cupboard. A heated towel rail in the shower room would be useful as would some toilet brushes to clean the toilets with would be useful. These are just suggestions not complaints. Thank you for a pleasant stay
