This apartment is lovely, in a beautiful setting with walks from the doorstep. It was comfortable and romantic, the bath is massive and much welcomed after a day on the fells .

This could not be better located for walking. We used car for shopping but only once to get to a walking route. Its peaceful. The Royal Oak is within eyesight. The apartment suited our needs fine. All i might add is somewhere to dry wet gear, however we only got drenched once. Would definitely return.
