We've just stayed in Oakleaf for the second time and, apart from the weather, very much enjoyed it. It's well located for walking the fells from out of the door and shopping in Keswick, and very comfortable.

A good little cottage, only let down by some basic maintenance issues and lack of kitchen equipment, a bit of a shame as fantastic location and views from here. Has the potential to be so much more with the right basic kit.
