    The cottage had everything we needed, was fitted out to an high standard, and the owners were lovely. They were even thoughtful enough to include a dog blanket for our sheltie. The location of the cottage was perfect for us - quiet and a little remote, but within easy reach of Keswick and Penrith. We look forward to staying again.

    with comments from previous guests. Also advice on how to operate systems - we were unable to discover how to use the oven, and the hosts didn’t know either but very kindly cooked our fish pie in their Aga. I am writing the difficulties; otherwise the place was lovely, clean, beautifully furnished and with very comfy beds.

    . only down side is we were two couples, and the downstairs bathroom which is supposed to be the ensuite for the downstairs bedroom is accessed via the living rooms and you have to lock two doors so the couple using the upstairs bedroom don’t disturb you, it was just a bit of a pain having to ask if anyone wanted to go upstairs before you went in the shower.. otherwise we couldn’t find any fault with the property it was peaceful, and absolutely beautiful.
