The House looks much better in reality than on the photo’s. Very cosy and clean house.
The kitchen is fully equipped with tea, coffee, a nice bottle of wine and a very nice cake as a welcome. There is also plenty of bed linnen available in the house.
The Owner is very responsive to questions and eager to help. Overall we had a great stay here with a family of 6.
Had a lovely stay in a wonderful location. The pics look remote but In fact this property in the heart of ennerdale village almost next to A quiet pub serving good food. Aspects of the property need an update , for example sofas really old and tired. However we had a great stay, ample room for our large party. The real star of the show is ennerdale water less than a mile away. Swimming , paddle boarding and kayaking all easy to do in this quiet beautiful location. Fabulous
House is beautiful, well presented, lots of little extras to make the stay extra pleasant; welcome gift of local tea, cake, fresh coffee and beers! Lots of extra bedding! John was a fab, friendly host. We will be back.
We had a lovely stay at this very well equipped house with easy access to spectacular countryside and lakes. Really enjoyed the Sky TV. Would recommend this house and the owner was great with communicating and straightforward too.
Superb location for what we were after in the Lake District. Dog friendly local pubs too.
Manager very responsive to our queries.
There were a couple of things it could be better equipped with but manager sorted them out very promptly.
This is a very beautiful and spacious cottage. We had a family of 8 staying including children we thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage was nice and clean with all mod cons of a home It’s very thoughtful of the owners to include many modes of entertainment, including board games table tennis and a pool table. There were even disposable BBQ trays. Would highly recommend for a large family or groups.

Lovely Cottage
Really lovely family cottage in picturesque village location. Recently stayed at this cottage with two teenagers and our family dog. We all had a relaxing and fun couple of nights. The cottage is very spacious with plenty of room. The living room is very welcoming with a wood burning stove in the corner and very large flatscreen TV. The bedrooms were all of ample size and the bathrooms modern. The kitchen and house had everything you could possibly need. There was even three types of milk in the fridge and this months magazines to read.
There is an amazing walk around Ennerdale Lake and it is close to many other attractions. Thank you for a great short break.

Nice, tidy,
Very spacious nice and tidy house. Provide all for our big family. All different age groups found what they like. The location is so good. Although it is bit far from the centre of the Lake District but it was so nice to have a quite real holiday. Views around the nearest lake is so good.
