    “Lovely property with period features.”

    Very comfortable and well equipped. Great views -we enjoyed sitting on the terrace even in February! Great location with easy access to the railway path into town and many other walks. Close to the 555 bus stop to Grasmere and beyond. We had a lovely stay and look forward to returning!
