A great cottage. We were 12 adults - which was a squeeze, but it was more spacious than we'd imagined.Great location - in that it's easy to access from Penrith, and straight out the door and up Blencathra. The busy road didn't really disturb up.Worked well for a weekend away with friends. Some of the kitchen supplies were basic (no oven pan or cafetiere) but there was enough to manage. Thank you
