Nice cottage and very quiet location. So great walks nearby. The cottage had excellent facilities, very good wi-Fi and great kitchen facilities. We were able to keep it relatively cool despite the very hot weather.

Wonderful cottage - stylish, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and in a great location. Loved the art work, plants and ceramics which made it stand out from other holiday cottages. A lot of thought has gone into the design. Owner and family very friendly while respecting privacy.

Fabulous cottage, a real home from home, with exceptional views. Had everything you needed. The cottage was spotless. Eva the owner was on hand for any issues, but not intrusive. Would book again if we returned to this part of the lakes.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Red Bank Cottage. The cottage was in a beautiful setting, clean, comfortable , warm & peaceful. Owner was welcoming & helpful and had provided a nice welcome pack. Ideally situated to explore Levens Deer Park, NT Sizergh Castle, Kendal & Low wood. Dogs loved the garden.
