We really enjoyed our stay at this delightful cottage.
We really enjoyed our stay at this delightful cottage. It has real character and is ideal for anyone just wanting to get away from it all and find some peace in a tranquil and picturesque location. There are some greats walks around the area and it is not far from the lake (Ullswater). We very much hope to return. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The Bothy is an excellent property for a weeks stay.
The Bothy is an excellent property for a weeks stay. The lounge dinning room is very spacious and the bedrooms downstairs are a bit of a novelty (we did not use the attic room.) The garden room is very bright and airy but the radiator is a little too small to heat sufficently in the winter, but when the log fire is lit it is very warm and pleasant. The parking is a bit tight and reversing down the drive takes a bit of getting used to as there is insufficient space to turn round ourtside the cottage unless your car is quite small. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a large gas stove which is good to cook on once you get used to the controls. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
