All you could need for a relaxing break close to the lakes. Fabulous walks from the door and great for dips in the lake (if you like that sort of thing!) We will definitely visit again.

It was great to be able to leave the car and do walks straight from the door. Beds comfortable and cottage very clean. There is a nice tearoom at Fairfield Mill a short stroll away and we enjoyed reading about the history of the old textile mill. Well placed for visiting the delightful town of Sedbergh, the Lakes and the Dales. Thank you for a relaxing holiday.
