The peace and quiet the high standard of the property were wonderful.
Mrs Ames, Rushden, October 2011
The weather was very good for the Lake District and the cottage was well equipped and nicely furnished.
Mrs McClure, St. Albans, April 2011
We drove in and the views were breath taking! When we arrived at Little Ghyll, we decided straight away it was the ideal setting, home from home! We spent an extra night in as we were so comfortable in the property. It had everything we needed for a night in. We were able to wine and dine as we had great kitchen and dining facilities. Little Ghyll is set in the perfect location, within walking distance of the lake and it was a two minute drive to a lovely hotel, where we had afternoon tea. The bars and restaurants are also a few minutes drive and we would also recommend the karaoke at Stags pub on Sunday nights! Little Ghyll was the most perfect setting for out perfect getaway!

The house was lovely, well laid out with the stone hallway downstairs to leave our boots. Lovely décor, cosy and a great fire. Good location too with a nice walk into Bowness from the property. It was a nice property to return to after a days walking.
