Confirmed Guest
This is a lovely cottage, and its owners, who live in the farmhouse next door, are very considerate of the needs of their guests. There are extensive views from the cottage of the Howgills and the Pennine Fells, and many lovely locations are within easy reach. The cottage is warm! - and well appointed: we are considering whether to return next year, which illustrates how favourably impressed we were with it.
