    “We had an amazing time at Charlotte's Cottage.”

    Can't understand why some reviews were negative and picky. It was so clean and comfortable,had everything we needed,the quality was of a high standard and the Xmas decorations were lovely.Its a great location,walked everywhere so didn't need to move our car.Weve stayed in lots of cottages in Cumbria but this is up there with the best. We hope to return in the future.
