The kitchen is very well equipped. It is our third visit to Broomriggs which is in a wonderful location.

Alec, the warden, is very helpful and gave some good recommendations for places to visit. The drying room is extremely useful when you are swimming every day as we were. Hawkshead is a lovely little village, very peaceful compared to the hubbub of Ambleside. We have already booked for next year! Hide

Second stay in Broomriggs 4. Excellent, really well-equipped apartment, well located for local area or further afield in The Lake District. It is a little remote - 5 mins by car from Hawkshead and nearest shops - but that is part of its appeal. The views across Esthwaite are superb.

Lovely sub divided house set within wooded grounds which is all up and together in good decorative order. Ample parking (with electric chargers for those who need them) and good amounts of hot water. Our 5th visit here and we choose not to look for anywhere else in the Lakes as this serves us well as a location and a great place to stay.

The location of the cottage was amazing with views over the nearby lake and fells. It had everything we needed to cater for ourselves some evenings. The separate en-suites with each of the three rooms was a huge bonus to us. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the heating on some of the very chilly June evenings we unexpectedly had.
