Hi accommodation is really nice and clean however there are couple of things we struggled with. 1. we checked in at around 9 pm and heaters are not turned on so the place is very cold and controls for the heating is locked from guests so we spent the night in a very cold place.

An absolutely lovely house in a lovely location. Good size rooms, nice bathrooms, and generally well equipped. It was warm and cosy, and the garden full of apples when we were there.

Absolutely lovely gardens but for price, the house left a little to be desired. The new build housing estate down the road had some noisy building work at times during our stay. Locals with dogs we met at Congra Moss were really friendly. The info. booklet could have been a bit more informative about things to do etc.

The cottage was very clean and the equipment, especially the kitchen resources was of the highest standard and complete. For us this is important as we make good use of the kitchen. Shower pressure and temperature was brilliant, rooms are spacious apart from one room. Overall our stay was very pleasant but main attractions in Keswick and WindermereRead more are a fair distance. Please check for the heating, they are on a timer but may not come on as we found out except one bed room on the ground floor. Hide
