Lovely cottage, well equipped and comfortable. Heating not so good but there was a lovely cosy gas fire. Had a lovely holiday and would certainly recommend River Cottage.

The house is in a wonderful location with everything on the doorstep. Some beautiful walks too.The garden is lovely especially when the sun is out.Unfortunately some of the inside lets it down. When we arrived it was dirty and the sofas were covered in dog hair.We have stayed in some lovely homes in the lakes and we were disappointed with this one.Such a shame as it really could be lovely.
