I went away solo with my dog to do a little self healing. I absolutely loved every minute there and will definitely be returning. Everything is so very thoughtfully laid out and exceeded my expectations. Loved it!!

A lovely cottage in a perfect location, take a very short walk down the quiet lane to access the Ullswater Way Trail which takes you all the way up to Gowbarrow Fell (Wainwright) in less than 6km! Very clean, has everything we needed and good off road parking.
