Decorated in neutral, warming tones, the inviting bedrooms will see you drifting off into a peaceful sleep in no time. The king-size is found on this level while an en-suite double is on the lower-ground floor. Enjoy a little al fresco dining on the enclosed south-facing patio or challenge each other to a game of tennis in the court guests have access to.

A quiet location with great walks on the doorstop through the Grizedale Forest. A local pub with simple food open six days a week is just a short walk away. Close to Esthwaite Water, Windermere and Ambleside. Two beds, two baths and a well equipped kitchen makes it an easy stay for a small family or two couples. Recommended.

This is a lovely base in a beautiful location. The local pub is fantastic. The trails in Grizedale and the search for the various artworks there mean that you don't have to travel far to get the best of this part of the Lake District

A cosy cottage in attractive quiet area. It had all we needed. Parking though was rather tight and only really suitable for one car so might be worth letting customers know as we were a two couple occupation with two cars.

Lovely cottage, in a very peacful location where you can really escape from the daily hussle and bustle of life. Many trails & walks in and around the local area/Grizedale Forest, or take a 15 minute drive into Hawkshead, a very picturesque, historic village with pubs, shops & cafes. Bobtail serves as a good base to visit many parts of the lake disRead moretrict such as Coniston, Ambleside, Windemere, Keswick all between 20-60 minutes drive away and access to many beautiful walks. We had a lovely stay. Hide

Nice cottage in a remote area of the Lake District. A few things need attention but overall a lovely place. Welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits and chocolates was a lovely touch. Lovely walks nearby and great pub food in the local pub.
