Fabulous house on three floors with plenty of space, well equipped and roadside parking. Lovely garden area to enjoy the sunshine and perfectly placed to walk into Bowness. The oven was a bit tricky to get working but otherwise we couldn't fault it. Seven mature adults celebrating a milestone birthday and suited all our needs.

Gorgeous location with views over the countryside, best seen from the comfy west-facing window seat. Lots of space to just relax. Kitchen was well-appointed and the bathrooms were lovely. Very quiet and secluded, but with the pub a short stroll away (our dinner was very good). Perfect home base for drives up to Lakeside where we caught the boat to Bowness and Ambleside. Will definitely be back!
