"Booked here for the Christmas week for wife and myself on arrival we were greeted by a friendly lady called Brenda who helps out and house sits who took us in to the shipped. It's laid out to a high standard with lots of little extras the fire was ready to be life only we were a little early so only had to put a match to it. Much bigger then I thought with a beautiful spiral stairs going down to a little hall and bedroom with was truly good standard top quality bedding and furniture also off to another door step down to the bathroom door wow beautiful bathroom.

"Just spent a lovely week in this charming little cottage in Crosslands, 5 miles south of Hawkshead, in the Lake District. The hosts, Graham and Gaynor Jarvis made us feel really welcome and the home baked scones left for us were delicious. Lovely walks straight out the door and onto the fells were amazing, our dog loved it too. Nice wood burner for chilly evenings made the cottage so cosy, can't wait to go back."
