Lovely little cottage for our 4 nights stay, good heating and kitchen was well equipped (not that we did much cooking) and a good little selection of games and puzzles. Perfect spot, felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but only 20 mins from Keswick. Best thing was the view!

Absolutely stunning building with everything we needed! Kitchen was very well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. The fact that most of the apartment was hidden behind a bookcase was the icing on the cake. An absolutely magical place!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Lovely little town with nice shops. It is difficult to drive in because there are a majority of one way streets so if you miss what you are looking for you have to make a big circle. However, the restaurants and shopping facilities are nice.

5/5 - Excellent

The King Arthur jousting area is near, if you belive in folklore.
