My family and l had a lovely holiday in an attractive well equipped spacious home with panoramic views from the lounge area of the open plan kitchen, dining and comfortable corner sofa . An immaculate modern house in a beautiful location close to both Windermere and Coniston Lakes. We were extremely lucky with the weather. But with a TV in each beRead moredroom, and in the lounge area, a games room and books and cards and a few board games provided we would have kept entertained . Hide

Well located. Quiet location with lovely views. Ample parking. Clean. Comfortable. Guests have no control over the heating (the control box is locked) which was switched off during our stay during an unseasonably cold week. Garden is not suitable for anyone with children. Overpriced compared to similar properties in the area.

Super comfortable cottage that was very well equipped for the 6 of us. We particularly enjoyed the view, the sheep and the pool and darts. It was easy to wander into Hawkshead and out for some good walks.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Quiet position, with good views. The blockage of the upstairs toilet Did not help though, the bedding was too hot for the weather, and better instructions would have been better for the car electricity. However, we are considering a return

We have had a fabulous stay, lots of fun playing games and eating round the table as a family. The house is stunning, well equipped and conformable - we all slept well! Our favourite thing was looking out over the fields in the morning with a hot cup of coffee. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we hope to visit again soon!

This was a very relaxing stay. The part of this accommodation we enjoyed the most would have to be the pool table and dart board - it was so fun playing each other for hours on end. The view is immaculate and we especially enjoyed seeing the view in the front garden. The beds are extremely comfy and we enjoyed the TVs in our individual rooms. It waRead mores also amazing how close the Hawkshead town centre is, it was very convenient for us. We will definitely be returning! Hide
