We had a lovely stay for half term with our two teenage kids. Lots of space to relax and eat together and very near lots of things to do such as Whinlatter forest and Keswick. Andrew was a great host and easy to contact as he lives on-site. I hope we get to come back here!

We stayed in Ellen cottage for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location of the property is great if you're into nature and farmland. We loved watching sheep and cows in the field all the time. The owner was very helpful and polite and showed us around when we got there. We really appreciated the little touches in the cottage, everything was uRead morepto a high standard. We will definitely return. Hide
