    The only thing we had problems with were wasps as there appeared to be a nest nearby . The time of year that they like to nip . We both were stung and kept the window closed afterwards .

    Loved our stay . Comfortable and with everything we needed . Beautiful barn conversion and ideal spot for travelling around the Lakes .

    If you go to bed at different times, the floor creaks above downstairs bedrooms. Seating area in parking courtyard is a token gesture really and no views.

    Very well equipped and clean. Lovely barn conversion. Really convenient for Fell Foot (Nat Trust) and Lakeside. Budgens and Greggs at petrol station just down the road.

    The sink in the bathroom doesn’t drain at all well. The floor upstairs, whilst beautiful, is quite squeaky from the bedrooms below. There was some form of hum (? the extra fridge) which was quite noisy on and off and particularly noticeable at night

    Great location for a base to get to ‘The Lap’ race and will be recommending to others. Easy access by car and fantastic to have an EV charger, made life a lot easier. Easy to find from directions. Lovely property and beautifully clean and very comfortable beds. Every facility needed available. Parking close to property.

    Nothing negative to say. Actually better than described.

    The property was superb and the attention to detail by the owner was so well thought out. Tea, coffee, sugar sachets and milk pots provided. Toilet rolls , shower gels etc were all there . The property was spotlessly clean and we did feel like we were staying in a luxury property. Thank you so much .
