We had a lovely week at this cottage, it was so clean and everything you needed was there very well equipped. A lovely quiet location so peaceful but not too far away to have days out walks. It was a special touch to have some lovely biscuits left for us on our arrival too. I would certainly come back at some point for another holiday.

A very clean country cottage in a quiet location. It is well equipped and nicely furnished. We were cold for some of the time there because the heating has set programme times. It does not come on until 7.30 am and it goes off at 9.30am. It goes off at 9.30 in the evening; which seems rather early. My husband was a dab hand at lighting the wood burRead morening stove, which we really needed. The hot water was only available when the heating was on. Overall, we enjoyed our week at the cottage.

Nice quiet area, central for a lot of the local places of interest. Muncaster Castle with bird flying displays and Honister Slate mine are worth visiting. Another very interesting trip was to the Predator Experience, walking with wolves. Due to the country roads, best plan for one visit per day.

We loved this quieter part of the Lake District close to Ennerdale Water and Buttermouth. This feels like a little cottage in the woods. Quiet and isolated. It was very cosy for 2 of us, 4 adults in the sitting room might feel a bit too cosy. Very clean and well cared for.

The cottage as stated was perfect, the estate was not what we were expecting. We expected to be able to go through the estate on trails, but were not allowed to go on the estate. The cottage was too remote for visiting other areas of the lakes.
