“Many thanks for the wonderful stay and the delicious cake!”

A lovely clean space and plenty of use for the log fire to dry off and warm up after some wet walks. We did: Great Rigg, Heron Pike, Nab Scar, Rydal, Grasmere, Derwentwater, Coniston Water, Hawkshead, Grisedale – Perfect engagement holiday!!
