A great house which worked really well for a group of 11 people. Warm, comfortable and cosy. Could do with another bathroom and better cleaning regime.

An excellent situation fo 11of us to meet up after 5 years.The gardens are lovely, ideal for the dog to explore.The kitchen was very well equipped, & immaculate. Sadly the rest of the house was quite grubby, especially the bathroom, 3 are not enough for 11 people.The furniture & fittings were dusty & cobwebby. Plenty to do in the area, lovely afterRead morenoon tea at Bassenthwaite station was a real highlight,. The house is ideal for a big reunion, need to up the cleaning Hide

We had a thoroughly enjoyable time - a very lazy Christmas for a large family group. The only real downside of the property is that the kitchen is not of sufficient size for a party of 12.

Excellent house with plenty space and great facilities. Upside down layout a bit quirky and kitchen not the biggest however we ate out or outside most nights. Garden lovely and kids played in it for hours on end. Plenty exploring options in the area, several lakes 15 minutes by car and multiple hill runs possible from house.
