| Previous Visitors' Comments | The cottage was warm, cosy and felt like a home from home. It was a welcome retreat after a tiring days walking. The children loved it. Everything we needed was there. It was fantastic!

Apr 2008 | We have stayed in the cottage previously and it was and is a good base for exploring the Lake District. The cottage is cosy and clean.
Mr McBain, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire
Apr 2008 | This is a great wee cottage.
Very central & conveniently located, yet still quiet and off the main road.
Want to come back again soon.
So much to explore if I get the energy to do more than stare into the roaring fire.

Mrs Walkingshaw, Bangor, County Down
Nov 2006 | We loved all the facilities at the cottage - it was so well stocked and maintained. The fireplace was lovely and cosy and we had lots of storage space and plenty of room. There was a little walk down a side alley from the cottage that led to gorgeous views of Windermere.
