Positives; the house is warm and mainly comfortable, bathrooms are decent, view is ok. Negatives - the property is unloved and uncared for and has a general air of shabbiness. Its in need of a deep clean & new kitchen. Tiny under counter fridge for 8! Freezer is noisy. Main bedroom with en-suite smells unpleasantly of damp, bunks are rickety & uncoRead moremfortable with under bed storage falling to bits, the patio needs scrubbing & tidying, the gutters overflow, the TV needs updating. Disappointing. Hide

Lovely property in a great spot! The views are amazing! The house is very comfortable, warm and welcoming. We stayed here as a party of 8 and there was plenty of space for everyone. Within easy walking distance to Hawkshead and a short drive to Grizedale Forest. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

The house is lovely with a super living space and right in the heart of the lakes. We loved the easy access to Grizedale and Hawkeshead. We all enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house and location. A little TLC is required but not enough to put us off returning.

Excellent location a bit steep in some places walking down to the village. Very clean and well equipped. The beds were the comfortised we have ever slept in. Plenty of space and excellent views over the mountains and valley. Needs a little tlc in some places.
