The location is celebrated for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions in the Lake District.

Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'spotless' and 'well-equipped'. The provision of fluffy towels and a well-maintained environment contribute to the high score in this category.
The property's location is highly regarded for its peaceful setting and accessibility to the Lake District's attractions. Its proximity to local towns like Cockermouth and Keswick, as well as the availability of a nearby pub, enhances its appeal.
Comfort is a strong point for this cottage, with guests finding it cosy and relaxing. However, a single mention of a hard mattress suggests that while comfort levels are generally high, they may not be perfect for everyone.
Facilities such as the BBQ hut, enclosed garden, and forest with playful surprises are well-received. The cottage is equipped with books, maps, and DVDs. A few guests noted the absence of a freezer and washing machine, slightly impacting the score.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the personal touches like welcome baskets, treats for pets, and birthday banners. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such specifics may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
