A very beautiful cottage in a stunning location

The cottage is out of this world with the perfect amount of everything from plates to comfort and a great layout. I found it to be very clean, tidy and cosy inside. Lighting a fire will always add to the warmth. The walks from the cottage to Coniston and the Old Man of Coniston are spectacular. Can’t wait to go back.
