It was wonderful. Liz and Chris were very kind hosts. Everything was very clean, the location was great, and the breakfast was excellent, made with high-quality products and a fantastic selection. The hosts pay great attention to detail. We recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a pleasant setting away from the noise of the city.

Beautiful cottage overlooking Windermere Lake. The accommodation was clean and very comfortable. Food was delicious. Walking trails around Windermere lake a short walk from the cottage. Great location if you like a bit of quietness and a short drive into Ambleside for shopping and places to eat. Liz is a wonderful host and made us feel at home and very welcome and very knowledgeable of the area. Thank you Liz and Chris for helping to make our first time in the lake district special. We hope to stay with you again in the future. Chris & Yuna Hastings

Een historische, fantastisch verblijf

10.0

Alles. De weg naar de b&b, het hek openen en de prachtige cottage zien en het uitzicht, wauw. De hartelijke ontvangst door de gastvrouw. De slaapkamer met de aparte badkamer echt heel fijn. Het ontbijt werd geserveerd door de gastheer. De verhalen horen over de cottage en de geschiedenis door de gastheer was fantastisch. Wij vonden het een droomplek.

We hebben niets kunnen ontdekken.
