We had a fantastic stay over Christmas. The property is very spacious so we felt like we had lots of room. The kitchen is also very well equipped. We also made the most of the log burner. We really enjoyed the location and took a few walks to Loughrigg tarn followed by a swim. It’s also very close to Chester’s by the River which serves beautiful food and Ambleside. It felt like a great base to explore the surrounding area.

We chose this place because of its proximity to Tarn Hows and Ambleside and the location didn’t disappoint. Very well appointed, we didn’t lack for anything. Appreciated the extra touches such as board games etc. very private and peaceful, exactly what we wanted

"We had an amazing stay at this holiday house! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The house is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail has been thought of from the cosy furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen. The beds were super comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring. The peaceful surroundings and thoughtful amenities made my stay even more enjoyable. It truly felt like a home away from home. I can't recommend this place enough and would love to come back!"
