    We found both the double and deluxe doubles a bit small when you are used to king size.

    They lay out was lovey especially the ground floor . The outdoor space is fabulous for the better weather . Loved the tables downstairs for eating and playing board games .

    Nothing not to like, a recommendation, would to provide a coffee pod machine and pegs for hanging out washing.

    The cottage was beautiful, so well appointed, plenty of room. Outdoor area was lovely. Great location, close to Dalton in Furness. The food at the pub on Friday night were the best burgers ever.

    Amazing place. Loved everything about it. Host was easily reachable through message if we needed anything. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were great, kitchen was lovely and it was all very spacious and clean. Garden was awesome too with a seating area. Great location too. We had an experience booked at the zoo and it was only a 4 minute drive away. Can't thank the hosts enough for a wonderful stay. Hope to come back soon.

    Photos of the property looked amazing which was deciding factor to book the property for the weekend. Happily, I can say that in reality the property was even more than I expected. It was exceptionally clean, very modern (especially kitchen) and very well equipped, lots of space also friendly host. The pub nearby was cosy and even though they didn’t serve food it was a nice place just to go to. I’m happy that we booked it and hopefully I’ll come back there one day.

    The owners son was running the pub the week we were there. Some drinks were not available. He was really helpful and friendly. We did not met the owners but understand that they usually run Bed and breakfast rooms too and food on Friday. We were happy self catering but if you did want to eat out you would have to travel into Dalton.

    Lovely self catering accommodation it really had everything we could need. Very well set out with comfy beds. The area is rural but with the owners pub next door it was nice to pop in for a drink before 8pm. We stayed for 2 nights but we would happily have stayed longer. The locals in the pub were nice to chat too. Really great place for visiting Furness Abbey and Piel Island.

    The cottage is lovely. it has a well stocked kitchen with all the basic amenities, beautiful rooms, cosy outside area at the back and a huge lounge. The hosts are lovely people, very helpful and accommodating. The closest point for the lake cruise is about 30 mins drive, which is reasonable.
