Testimonials

April 2025

This is a lovely place to stay when exploring the Lake District. Elizabeth’s communication was excellent and everything was per the listing. We have made a few suggestions that would hopefully make the amenities that Elizabeth offers even better, but we could not fault our stay. The welcome basket was much appreciated too, thank you. Totally recommended.

A fantastic peaceful retreat. An upside down home giving you the chance to enjoy the garden views upstairs. The bathroom was beautiful with lovely fluffy towels. Will visit again.
