The terrace is ideal for relaxing on the warm summer evenings after a day filled with activities. For when it gets a little chilly there is a chiminea to enable you to enjoy the terrace and the wonderful views that little bit longer.

Perfect for our needs
Lovely property that was just right for our requirements - two adults, one child and a dog as temporary stopping point while visiting friends. It was a warm, light property with great views and in close, walking proximity to Reeth and endless amounts of stunning walks. We had a small issue with the washing machine due to the cold and ice but that was dealt with promptly. The only other thing I would say is that the lane that the property exits onto is much busier than we were expecting and the vehicles did not drive with any care or expectation that there may be people walking on the lane or coming out of the cottage so it pays to be aware of that if renting the cottage, especially with dogs or children. Overall a good experience and we'd recommend the cottage with the provisos above.
