A lovely holiday in excellent accommodation.
A lovely holiday in excellent accommodation. Location was wonderful in a quiet area of the Lake District. Wonderful walks were close by with many more within a short distance. Our hosts, Isabel and Alan, could not have been more charming and helpful. A very nice welcome pack was much appreciated. This was our second visit and we look forward hopefully to a third. Very many thanks. Patricia and John

If you want peace and quiet this is the place - beautiful cottage in the middle of nowhere hence the poor local amenities rating ( not fair rating really as this is just what we wanted)
