    “There is only one word required for this review, "Perfect".”

    However, it is only fair to say more. The cottage is very well equipped for a comfortable stay. Modern, yet traditional. The location is perfect for all that the Lake District has to offer. The views of the Lake District hills from the windows of the cottage inspires one to get out and walk, no matter what the weather. There is even a bus stop across the road linking one to the north and south of the National Park. Thank you for a memorable week
