Great stay in the heart of The Lake District

Good location and a lovely house to stay in. The main room downstairs was an excellent place to hang out with everyone, so we didn't use the upstairs sitting room. The bedrooms were very good - all with en suite facilities. Great to have the space just around the corner which went right down to the lake.
