Wonderful garden with fruit trees, fully enclosed. Lovely walks in either direction. Julie the host popped in on our first night to check everything was ok Thank you for the welcome bottle of wine, it helped drown our sorrows after no winners at the races :) Highly recommend Waingate Cottage, 2 mins to Flookburgh and just over 8 mins to Cartmel. Perfect.

The enclosed garden was perfect for meals outside around the large patio table. The immediate area is quiet, but its not far to places like Cartmel and Grange over Sands. If I had to be picky, I would say there could be more clothes hangers, but everything else was perfect! There are plenty of leaflets with ideas for days out. Julie was easy to contact and friendly, she left flowers and wine for us on our arrival. A great cottage for a family holiday!
