    “Lovely house very well equipped.”

    Everything you want and more. Very clean and tidy. Fab new cooker. Had a lovely 2 weeks. In a beautiful position with amazing views of Blencathra. And a safe garden for the dog. Did have a couple of problems which were sorted out for us. We have stayed here a few times and obviously a lot of money has been spent doing it up. The only problem we had were the sofas ,which could do with either being replaced ,or seat cushions being re stuffed.
