Im 26 and this was my first time travelling away on my own with my dog, who is big & daft and also only just turned 2. I couldnt have picked a better place to go for my first time, although it was daunting at first, I felt so at ease and peaceful. We had all the amenities we needed and the privacy I was hoping for too. The little welcome goodies weRead morere the cherry on top! I will definitely be coming back and maybe treat myself to a hot tub next time! Sophie & Noah x Hide

I booked this as a little get away for my partners birthday. We were blown away by the cabin. The cabin has everything you need, quiet, and done to a high spec. We will be returning again but this time we will be adding the hottub. We would recommend this place to anyone location and views are amazing with all your needs being only a few miles awayRead more in the local town. So if you are looking for a getaway then look no further. I couldn't recommend these guys enough. Thanks for a great weekend Hide

Had a lovely 4 night stay. With a nice welcome pack of milk,scones and flapjacks which were very tasty! The hut was quite spacious and had all the gadgets you need for a short stay plus good Wi-Fi! I slept like a log on bed which was very comfortable. Location was very peaceful and just a short drive to Keswick and thirlmere which is where we spentRead more time . Had to have dog on a lead on premises but understandable as there were sheep/lambs ..highly recommended - I am returning in the near future Hide
