    But the keybox did jam at one point in the holiday. Luckily there were neighbours who were able to get us into the property and unjam the box.

    AMAZING and idyllic location. Wasdale lake is just a km away from the cottage which was a pleasant surprise! Lots of hiking routes near the cottage and an ideal location for mountain climbing or water activities. Very warm and homely feel,...
