The cottage was lovely and really peaceful. We had an issue on our first night with a bat in the log burner, the team were responsive and sent someone to the property quickly. There was plenty to do and the restaurant at the hotel was lovely. We did arrive to dirty damp smelling clothes in the washing machine, so we put those in the bin but was left with a smell in the kitchen. The lane to the hotel could do with some repairs, a lot of holes and uneven ground which isn’t the best for smaller cars going up there

Lovely place. A bit too big for just two people, but ideal for a group. Lots of space, big and open, lovely garden, hot tub. I would say it’s a little out of the way if you’re looking to visit the lake district, but great for staying local. Shop about 10mins away.
