The owner contacted me prior to arrival and offered advice and tips, which was very much appreciated. Spacious accommodation and generous welcome hamper. Only slight negative would be it's a bit remote, but we find it quite relaxing.

Lots of thoughtful extras provided along with a very generous 'welcome pack'. The setting is very peaceful with quality outdoor furniture to the front and rear of the property. We really enjoyed watching the birds on the feeders - at one time there were 8 varieties of birds including a woodpecker! Short walk to Lakeside for the steam train and lake ferries - great for relaxing days out with fantastic scenery. We enjoyed the walk to the village of Finsthwaite and also to the Swan Hotel at Newby Bridge for lunch by the river. Many thanks to the owner Janet - we hope to return in the near future.
