“What a great example of a modern upgrade to a traditional cottage.”
Enough original features left to remind you of it's past enhanced by a clean and bright refurbishment. Parking was no problem behind the property with handy access through the back gate into the walled yard. With a large Co-op five minutes walk in one direction and the towns pubs, cafes and other shops 3 minutes the other, the property couldn't be more conveniently placed.
The kitchen is large and equipped with everything required with plenty of crockery, glasses and cooking utensils.
The living area's are very comfortable (we used the smaller snug) and proved to be a great place to relax and unwind after a night out in the town (The curry night in The Pennine was superb and the Chinese banquet from the chinese takeaway was delicious), walking the fabulous Northern Viaduct Trail or chilling after using the sauna.
Upstairs the bedrooms are large, bright and the beds are very comfortable. The only thing worth noting that may be of interest is that there are no wardrobes for hanging larger items up.
There is a separate toilet with hand basin and a large bathroom with rain shower over a large double bath (jacuzzi funtion does not work..but this is advised on the website) and a compact sauna (that easily accommodated 4 adults).
We would not hesitate to recommend this superbly appointed cottage for a weekend getaway or as a base for a longer break to explore this beautiful part of Cumbria.
Finally when we left on Sunday morning we dropped into The Mulberry Bush for a great breakfast served by friendly staff and a very welcoming owner.
