This house is amazing. The decor, the views and everything about the property are outstanding and well worth the cost. The welcome package and other extras were a nice touch. All communication with the property owners was very easy and they were very helpful. All my guests had a wonderful time and would book this property again.

The trip was delayed due to illness of one of our party and we finally arrived in the Lakes early December to be greeted by one of the worst storms for some time! In some ways this was a blessing as we stayed in the house using the fantastic facilities without any guilt of not exploring the area. A group of 5 couples had more than enough space to tRead morehoroughly enjoy our 3 nights; dining at the vast table overlooking the lake was a particular treat. The house is special - large comfortable bedrooms - all but one ensuite - with good showers and plenty of storage. The dining / kitchen area and the sitting room are especially comfortable and practical with lovely decor heightened by the Christmas decorations. An added feature is the TV room with comfortable seating and a large screen. For those more energetic the house also has a small gym, although limited equipment (Peleton feature is an unnecessary complication for a short stay). Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed the break in such wonderfiul surroundings and would highly recommend. Hide

The house is absolutely beautiful. All the furnishing are high quality, comfortable and cosy. Decent cooking facilities- could do with a few more bits for keen cooks. Great and easy 10 min or less walk to the town or to the lake side.

The kitchen and dining area were especially impressive and became a perfect spot for gathering.
