As per the listing everything stated was available and adequate for my needs and my trusty canine companion. YES the upstairs was very warm especially since no windows in the property can be opened..but they have purchased a fan which was good enough for me and my dog to keep cool. YES the tv is far too small for the size of the room (but I didnt go to the lakes to watch tv). YES there is no wifi that I was aware of, but these days most people have unlimited data with 4 or 5g (my data worked fine upstairs but patchy in bedroom).The place is just on the doorstep to many fantastic walks with amazing views and only 25mins away from scarfell pike.Overall I enjoyed my stay it was very peaceful and tranquil.If I am ever back this side of the Lakes to stay I will be looking to re-book here.

Iâm not scared of spiders but there was a huge amount of them and spider webs. Cottage smelt quite damp smelling. No wi-fi which is very unusual. I did like the location being on a farm and very quiet.

The pictures really donât do justice how beautiful it is. We had a wonderful week away, the property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was the perfect base to explore the surrounding areas. The owner is super friendly and communicated so well. Weâd love to come back in the future.
