Our second time at Lucerne, we had no hesitation returning. Good quality furniture, bedding and kitchen equipment. We were there during wet weather and it was handy to leave our waterproof clothing and boots in the porch, also to dry/clean our dog. Rear garden was fully enclosed. Good comms from owner. We were there mid Dec, it was a nice surprise Read moreto find a large decorated tree in the lounge and other decorations throughout the house. It would have been perfect if the gas fire had been working. Hide

The cottage was perfectly located, very spacious, and clean. Loved the Beatrice Potter vibe, and as we stayed in December, it was decorated for Christmas which was a lovely touch. Garden was enclosed for our dogs, which made our stay more relaxing as we knew they were safe out there. Will definitely stay there again.
