It had everything you could ever need. There was a lovely welcome pack when we arrived, including treats for our dog. The hosts had condidered everything. Instructions were there and a contact number, should we need any help. Stunning views from the back garden. Everyday we saw deer and other wildlife. A very peaceful area. The beds were very comfy and we slept well. We will definitely be rebooking.

It is on a quiet road and close to the village centre which has 2 pubs, lovely coffee shop, convenience store and a butchers. There are lovely walks straight from the door and easy access to South Lakes. We found the lounge, beds very comfortable and bathroom and shower great, there was plenty of hot water and heating. The kitchen is a bright and airy social space and leads to a lovely terrace and garden that backs onto a lovely meadow, our small dog was very safely enclosed and fascinated by the cows in the meadow! The sunsets from the terrace was fabulous! The property has undergone a very significant refurbishment and some decorative snags are being sorted out, this in no way deterred from the pleasure of staying at Willow and we will be booking again.

These issues have been reported. Although advertised for 8 people this seems ambitious given the need for more essentials, e.g. mugs and cooking equipment. There were only 2 loo rolls, no kitchen roll, and we only found the dish cloths on Day 6. The shower room is also very small, cramped and dark. For those with a dog the garden is not secure at the bottom and there were frequently cows in the field. There was no visitor information, e.g. emergency numbers, shops, eating places, or information about recycling - we did what we could with the latter.
