Steve was a great host. Breakfast was scrumptious, lots of toast, and Steve cooked everything well. Large comfy bed. Great location, good for walking and nice pubs. Didn't use our car during our stay, nice walk to Tarn Howe and then to Coniston. Lovely walk to Wray Castle along the shores of Lake Windermere. There's an ice cream and chocolate shop in the village, also 3 pubs all doing excellent food with friendly staff.
