We had the most perfect holiday based in a quieter part of the Lakes but in an area of outstanding beauty. The cottage was fabulous, just perfect for a big family get together.

The cottage was exceptionally clean and tidy, we settled in the moment we arrived and it was very much a home away from home. Hide

Nethercroft was a delightful property to stay in. It is well equipped, clean and comfortable. The setting is quiet with lovely outlooks. We had an enjoyable and comfortable two week stay and we would not hesitate to return. The owners leave you in peace to enjoy yourselves but they are on hand if you might need them.

A delightful, spacious, well-equipped home from home which we all enjoyed immensely.
