Great location, enclosed garden for dogs and good off road parking. The house needs updating but if it was to be updated it would be out of my price range. It’s comfortable but tired.

Fantastic location, couldn’t have asked for better. Perfect for everything we wanted to do on our week in the Lake District. The double garage was a brilliant bonus, with all the space needed for bikes and equipment and the washing machine and tumble drier there helped massively on a very wet week! Looking forward to returning. Excellent value for money.
