What a beautiful home, in a surreal location tucked away in the valley of Kentmere. So much character in and out, cosy and picturesque. The fenced off garden was perfect for the dogs. Clean property throughout, the sauna is a perfect touch after a good hike around the area. 10/10

Cosy but practical property in a beautiful location! Really enjoyed our stay. Enclosed garden perfect if you have a dog. Amazing walks straight from the house. Had elderly parents staying with us. Downstairs bedroom was perfect for them with just a couple of steps up and down....

This house is amazing. There is a wonderfully calm atmosphere and an incredible attention to detail. The split living room areas are perfect for group living, the bedrooms are incredibly comfortable and cosy and there is everything you need. We didnt use the Aga ovens as they didnt feel hot enough so the conventional oven is a must. We ate, drank, Read morewalked and talked and of course made good use of the sauna! A fabulous celebration of a 60th birthday in a quite magical space. Hide
