Comfy and cosy rooms and living room. And the manicured English garden. And the trails right across the road; catch the romantic summer sunset and sunrise. It’s simply a perfect stay in the Lakes.

    Great location for the village with excellent parking and private garden. Very warm and cosy. We took our fire stick for the evenings. We didn’t realise when we booked that the accommodation is only part of the building and is accessible by a flight if stairs. Not a problem for us.

    The Summerhouse was self-contained with everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing week in the quiet of the Lakes. On site parking and a lovely welcome pack made our stay very comfortable. Carey is a great hostess.

    The bell tent is huge and felt private, despite there being other nearby tents. The grounds are very pretty and in a great location. We felt safe enough on site, and other guests were respectful of each other. Breakfast and dinner included and of good quality, if needed. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely return, as good value for money.
