Great location for a base to see the south Lake District. The accommodation was comfortable and perfect for our needs.

Upon arriving the driveway was very tight to enter. As we are both disabled we were horrified to find a 12 inch high step to get in the property and also exit the back door into the garden. The property was okay but it was not disabled friendly. I would recommend anyone with mobility issues seriously consider this.

Excellent house which gave us access to the southern lakes. Although the weather was not too good, it wasn't enough to stop us getting out. Interesting places to visit. The house was well equipped although I struggled with the fan oven (not used to using one). Overall excellent.
