I particularly enjoyed sipping my tea every morning by the bubbling beck. The house was snug and clean, just what we wanted for our Lakes getaway! ##### Liesbeth W.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Cottage has everything you need and we felt at home straight away. Within walking distance, or very short bus ride of the village shop and pubs in Braithwaite. Good rambling / hiking on the doorstep or a bus ride away. We didn't use the car all week except for a trip to the Coop in Keswick. Having a washing machine worked well, with a large airing cupboard to dry clothes when the weather is wet, or a line outside when it's dry.

It's in a deep valley which faces east so might feel gloomy in cold or dark weather, but was fine for summer. A steep bridleway leads directly from the house up to Whinlatter Visitor Centre (20-25 minutes walk up; 15 down :)) for walks and mountain-biking. There's no local shop so all supplies will need to be bought elsewhere and brought in, but a local gallery sells tea and coffee as well as amazing artwork. We had a restful week. ##### Chris This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janette Jul 6, 2019 #### Great cottage. Great cottage.
