Location beautiful and surrounding amenities great. House size good for 4 adults and a dog. Cleanliness of house not to the standard of other VRBO homes I have experienced. Some of the outside furniture not fit for purpose. We struggled with keeping the gas fires on as they gave off a very potent smell.

The cottage is lovely, just as the pictures would suggest. It's more overlooked than we had thought, in terms of proximity to other properties. Beds were very comfortable and it was great that the owners were able to provide 2 cots and highchairs for our twins. All in all we had a lovely stay. The location was great, and we did manage to book for dinner at the Tower Bank Arms which was delicious. Being a short drive to Hawkshead and Ambleside was ideal. And a visit to Wray Castle made for a lovely day out. Finding buggy-friendly walks was a challenge, but there are a few to be had as long as the roads are quite as there aren't many you can do avoiding roads entirely. Wray Castle and Grizedale Forest had walks we could all do. For us, with the under 2s, it would have been better to have a contained outdoor space. We weren't able to relax outside as there was no way of stopping the toddlers roaming down the driveway towards the hotel, which was a bit of a shame. And the lack of towels or a bathmat was something that bothered me more than I thought it would when I was booking. If there are two things I'd advise the owners to change, it would be providing towels and more than 2 dishwasher tablets for a family of 6 for a week 😆. We did find our stay very enjoyable and whoever else books this idyllic cottage in such a beautiful part of the country will too.

Really enjoyed the stay. If you want a quiet relaxing place to stay, come here. David was quick to answer questions and offer solutions.

This cottage was excellent and made the perfect base of our week in the Lake District. It was tastefully furnished and well equipped for our stay. The communication from the owners was great and the local pubs and restaurants all provided good food.

A very pleasant and charming cottage, equipped with the necessities tucked away off the road nearby. All you hear most of the day and all night is the sheep in the fields. A beautiful view of the small lake nearby. Many easy walks right from the front door.

Fantastic cottage, really well fitted out and lovely location
