A lovely cosy cottage. A perfect base with all we needed for our week away. Enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and equipment was well organised and easy to find. Lovely little garden and beautiful kitchen diner, our morning spot before heading out. Nice powerful shower and lovely, comfortable beds. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for hosting us.

A lovely quiet location with a stream running along the end of the rear garden. The cottage is well equipped and tastefully furnished. A good location to explore the southern Lake District and it is possible to walk to Grange Over Sands (45 minutes) or Cartmel (30 minutes) though not flat.

Just returned from a weeks stay in wolf cottage. Wonderful accommodation in a beautiful and peaceful setting. The cottage had everything we needed, and was a great spot for sitting out watching the local wildlife - loved watching the bats in the evening and one of us was lucky enough to spot a kingfisher at the stream at bottom of garden.

A lovely, cosy, comfortable cottage that is well equipped and plenty of room. Good size kitchen and sitting room. Lots of ( creaking!) stairs, but that was not a problem for us.
