Cosy cottage for hiking in the Lake District

Very cosy cottage where nothing is missing. We had one sunny week, so that we were hiking every day and had only time for one DVD, which are also available in this cottage. Thank you very much for your welcome gifts, even for the dogs.
Stayed 7 nights in May 2017

Lovely quirky cottage

We really enjoyed our short stay The cottage was clean and tidy throughout, with a lovely log burner which soon warmed the room up after a day out walking. It was an Ideal base to do some sightseeing, plus there is a lovely friendly pub down the road which served bar meals and real ales. Look forward to returning again next year
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2016

I've sold this cottage now so it can no longer be rented out!!!
Its impossible to remove my listing via the owner website so I thought I would tell you here!
DONT BOOK THIS COTTAGE!!!
There is no way for owners to contact vrbo - not even an email address or phone number that is actually answered!!! too big a company.

Peaceful; it's got lovely gardens to relax in.
