Ideal location for touring!
We were tucked behind a wonderful restaurant in a quiet spot yet only two minutes from buses, trains, tourist information and Mountain Goat tours. Just ideal for us! Good heat, hot water, all appliances worked well, execptionally clean and well-appointed. Our hosts were quick to respond to emails and check-in was a breeze. Would recommend to all!

Great little short break
Booked this cottage for a short weekend to go up Helvellyn. It was a lovely place to stay, really close to the train station and local shops and pubs but felt super private. And it was clean and cosy which we all needed after a hike! We're already planning to come again.
