This is a very comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a quiet, riverside location, but only 10-15 minutes walk to pubs, restaurants, and supermarkets. It is a great base for exploring this area of Lake District. We came in winter, but hope to return in summer as the terrace by the river is a great feature of the property.
