Our second stay in Jenkinsons Place. It cant be faulted for location and the view. Very generous living space and kitchen. Loved the garden so again we took our own BBQ. One issue would be the absence of a downstairs loo. But all in all one of the best cottages Ive stayed in in The Lakes and in the best area.
