This accommodation was excellent! It was extremely well equipped and all of the rooms were comfortable and very clean. The owners were on site and gave us a friendly welcome. The driveway is small but we managed ok with two larger cars. The location is ideal as near Windermere and Kendal.

A beautiful home. Just a reminder that these are flats - not the whole house. Large rooms, well set out, and cosy. We really enjoyed our time there and it's well positioned to Windermere, Kendal and surrounds.

Perfect location and accommodation. Beautiful views of the fields and hills (complete with deer in the morning) from the lounge and two bedrooms and nice views over the back garden, fields and the village from the 3rd bedroom. Each bedroom has an ensuite shower and the third bedroom has a TV and a couple of chairs. The place has everything you needRead more for your stay with plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery for more than 6 people. The log fire was set on our arrival with plenty of wood. Perfect. Hide

Great cottage in a great location. Well equipped. Fabulous views. Lovely for a family stay or like us with two other couples. The garden looks lovely for dining in the summer. Centrally located for local hikes, close to Kendal for shopping and a great pub for eating and drinking just around the three minute walk away.

Very comfortable property with lovely views in picturesque area. Pub restaurant only 5 minutes walk away - very good food albeit a pit pricey, but welcoming staff and pleasant atmosphere. Property very well equipped and benefitting from a log burner, although the property was comfortably warm, mostly.

Really well presented property with a spacious, well equipped kitchen and large living room. Having three ensuite bedrooms was fantastic as all our guests could make use of their own facilities. The only downsides were that parking was a little tight (which may be challenging for those in larger vehicles who are not confident with their manoeuvres!Read more) and the distance from supermarkets meant that forward planning to stock up on essentials was needed.
