We had a perfect stay at Wreay Mansions. It suited our group of five adults and a two year old perfectly. We loved the large room at first floor level with balcony overlooking Ullswater and our granddaughter loved the space and being able to use the garden area. The house is warm and comfortable with an excellent large kitchen. We ate in some nights and tried the Brackenrigg pub down the road plus the Pooley Bridge Inn. The view from the balcony are still with us - it is gorgeous!
