The location in the Borrowdale valley, with numerous walks possible from the door without needing the car, make this a lovely place to stay.

Warm, comfortable & very clean accommodation. Best aspects were its superb location with little need to use the car as great bus service in the village & superb walks from the door. Bed & sofa very comfortable.Shower good. Basic welcome pack but enough for a few cuppas with biscuits. Access lane to the unit from the main road, albeit short has seveRead moreral large quite deep potholes that need attention. Other positive aspects- great that you can control both the heating & hot water. Good level of refurbishment was apparent- we find that often places that allow dogs look very tired and can smell but none of that here! Hide
