Mr Brown
May 2021

“Lovely spacious cottage in a perfect location for a family.”

Everything was clean and of a high quality. Parking outside the property was easy, given how busy the lakes are normally, this was a big plus.

“The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed for a family of 4.”

It's in a great location, to explore the great outdoors whilst being close to local amenities.

“We have stayed in many holiday cottages, many times in the lakes, and would suggest this the best yet for location, furnishings an general decor - the small back yard was perfect and secure for my grand daughter to play.”
