As the evening grows darker, catch your rest within one of the three bedrooms, the master suite notable for its sumptuous double bed, piled with plump cushions and a TV, perfect for those lazing Sunday mornings. Bedroom two has another double bed, whilst the third and final bedroom is a bunk bed layout, perfectly arranged to suit groups of couples, friends or families with children. The garden at The Croft Bungalow is as equally as impressive, with a rear patio providing great views across the countryside landscape, with table and chairs for alfresco dining and the front garden offers space for your canine companion to stretch his legs and a charming pond to admire. For the evenings where you do not feel like cooking, be sure to linger over a pint at the neighbouring pub, the Last Man Inn before sampling their excellent home-cooked dining menu. Alternatively, journey into the nearby town of Aspatria, where you will find a small collection of pubs, takeaways and shops, as well as a working railway, easily connecting you to Maryport and Carlisle and the church of St Kentigern, home to an avenue of yew trees, which leads to the site where a Norman church once stood.

    Bungalow was very spacious clean and comfortable but would have liked chairs in the double bedrooms to put clothes on and a hook or something to put clothes on whilst having shower and some egg cups would be good all in all though was a lovely bungalow
