“After years of holidays further up ...”
After years of holidays further up in The Lakes, it was a change to be able to stop a little further south and miss the more “touristy” areas. A week of great weather provided the chance to visit old haunts as well as creating some new ‘favourites’ - the topiary at Levens Hall is still brilliant, and an afternoon with the Ospreys (at Foulshaw Moss) was a delight. The “chippy” at Arnside was also a real find...
The cosy cottage with delightful gardens (and fabulous bird tables and bird baths!) made for a comfortable base. The ensuite shower and a lush ‘dressing room’ were added benefits, along with a full range of guides and leaflets for attractions both local and further afield.
A warm welcome from our helpful and knowledgable hosts was much appreciated, along with the drinks pack and chocolate biscuits.
The cottage was spotlessly clean and well-equipped, with quality fittings and furniture (even down to soft fluffy throws for cooler evenings). Look out for the amazing chandelier in the bedroom!
Minor issues were the A6 road noise and the steep access drive, but these were outweighed by fabulous views and the otherwise excellent facilities.
