“Cosey, clean and just what we needed.”

Up a steep but worth it for the views from the top. We even saw a family of deer out of the kitchen window in the field one day. Thank you for a lovely stay.

“This is a wonderful property that had clearly only just been renovated.”

It provided my family with a great foothold in Lakes, from which we could do both in town and hill walking if we wished.
