A great location not far from motorway and access to Keswick and northern lakes. Although a single bedroom, the accommodation was larger than you would think and did not feel cramped. Plenty of space for additional camp beds if required. Amenities are found about 15 minutes away in Keswick or around Ulswater. A very comfortable cottage.
