Hot tub doesn’t feel very private. It was a shame many of the pubs/businesses in the village were closed for refurbishment. Coniston’s not too far away with plenty of alternative places to eat. ##### Gareth B.

The hut was cute, very comfortable and clean. The hot tub was gorgeous and the village is lovely. So peaceful, there is plenty of places to eat and drink within a two minute walking distance. I would definitely stay again ##### Alexandra A.
