    “Overall a nice cottage.”

    Parking was an issue as there were limited spaces yet advertised as Parking available. WIFI would have been an asset.

A brief stroll will take you to several convenience stores and supermarket where you can stock up on homely essentials, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be tucked into at The Albert or The Flying Pig, or if you fancy something alternative, book a table at BAHA Bowness or the Bodega Bar & Tapas.

A drive outside of the village will also bring you to nearby Ambleside, home to the beautiful Stagshaw Gardens and Stock Ghyll Force waterfall, whilst those looking for something more challenging can embark on a hike up the outstanding peaks of Helvellyn or Scafell Pike.
