It would have been 5 star throughout if we hadn't had a problem with the Aga which meant we had to have two evening meals at hotels; also it takes very careful management if doing a dinner for eight. Otherwise the cottage is very well equiped. Excellent cottage is superb location.

A fantastic location between Derwent and Borrowdale. We chose this cottage because we know the area well and walked past the cottage last year. Amazing views from every room and lots of walking options from the door. Plenty of space for a party of 8. A great place and we expect to return when we want to be based in this location again.
