Lakes break in February

Cozy cottage, very well equipped for a couple or small family. Despite its location on the main road, it is set well back from the road and therefore quiet. Rear courtyard is set on the banks of River Greta. Beautiful. Parking at the front. Property is set just outside the centre of the town, 10-15 minute walk on the main road but a couple of minutes extra if you take the old railway line (accessed just behind the Shell garage) Convenience store on the garage forecourt was well stocked and had everything we needed. The only downside for the week was that our favourite restaurant Thyme was shut for February.

Well appointed

This is a lovely cottage by the river and a short walk to the town centre. The nearby garage shop is very close for anything you need. Everything we needed was there for us and the crockery etc was of a very high standard. The smart tv was handy and wall mounted. We couldn't get the gas fire to work but the central heating was more than warm enough. The bedrooms were comfortable and we used both as the river noise can get loud at night. Parking was easy and we left the car there from arrival to departure.
