Very cosy and comfortable cottage, well equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 dogs - great dog walking path along the old railway track nearby. Within easy reach of Cockermouth and the coast - Whitehaven and St Bees. Lovely walk around Ennerdale Water. Good value and a lovely break.
