    The cottage was in a perfect location with a pub opposite and near lots of local walks and Scafell Pike. It also had amazing facilities: oven, microwave, sofas. It was very comfortable and warm and very good for the price

    Very clean, fabulous bath and hot water to fill it, well equipped kitchen, lovely outside space, wood burner (although we didn’t use it). We didn’t have control of the heating but when we called the host, it was immediately put on and the cottage...
