A peaceful, cosy stay in a stunning setting. Ideal for a couple. Breathtaking views over the valley to Skiddaw (which framed the most incredible thunderstorm on our last evening!). A very thoughtful welcome of a cream tea, wine and homemade elderflower cordial (the latter quenched our thirst all week on our sunny walks!) A great base for the quieteRead morer northern lakes and fells, although the rest of the Lakes is easily accessible via the A66/A591 not too far away. Pretty and cosy, great shower and well stocked kitchen. Nearby Dodd Wood and its summit makes a wonderful (steep!) forest hike and Bassenthwaite Lake is down the road and gorgeous. A tranquil, relaxing experience in the utterly magical Lake District Hide
