    “Extremely well equipped and the location is perfect as described by Sykes.”

    Wellcome back was very much appreciated as were the Dressing gowns for the fantastic hot tub. The secure garden meant that our 2 dogs could roam and explore at their leisure. Our 3 grandkids absolutely loved the garden room ‘den’ and of course the hot tub. This is by far the best Lake District rental that we have experienced with a very homely and relaxed ambience feeling as soon as you enter Silver Birches. Thank you so much Enid and Peter, we will definitely be booking again.
