Joan and Simon are excellent hosts, full of little recommendations for walks food and destinations to visit whilst with them.
The room was spotless and had everything in there that we needed for our stay.
If we come back up to the lakes, we will definitely stay there again.
Best wishes for the future.
Thanks for looking after us

The property was so very close to Lake Windermere and within walking distance of not only the water but shops, cafés and restaurants.
The property had absolutely everything we could wish for plus more including lovey little touches in the bedroom ….. packets of tissues, toiletries, hand sanitiser, beautifully soft & plump towels & the most softest and comfortable bed we have ever slept in.
Check-in was excellent with our lovely hosts offering a wealth of information not only about the facilities of their beautiful home but also about attractions and places to visit in & around the area.
Breakfast was simply incredible with a fabulous choice of hot & cold items to choose from and both if you really were very hungry x the home-made yoghurt was delicious!
Parking on-site perfect and we really did not want to leave. We were both made to feel very welcome indeed and cannot wait to return in the very near future to see this stunning area in a different season.
Nothing at all!
