G. dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid etc I don't remember there being any mention of the property being at the top of a steep hill, which might have been a consideration when booking.

All the fixtures, fittings and design features are superb and top quality. Stunning outside area where you can chill, dine and enjoy a barbecue with a fire if needed. There is an additional raised seating area to take in the views of the fells. You can tell this property has been created with passion. It is evident the owners want their guests to enjoy a truly memorable, luxurious experience. Otto and the team are so friendly and canât do enough for you. Thankyou to you all. The property is in a great quiet location, only a short stroll to an abundance of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. We didnât use our car at all, just hopped on the buses to tour the area. I canât recommend this property highly enough. Donât hesitate you will be extremely impressed. We will definitely return to one of the properties in their portfolio in the future.

The only feedback I would suggest if possible we had a disabled person with us and the step getting into the property was a bit hard it was just a shame there wasnât a ramp of some kind but overall the hour is just beautiful.
