The cookies were also lovely!

    From the minute we arrived Debbie and Eliot were great hosts. The guest house was very clean and the room was spotless, the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and kept us going all day. Great location and easy access to all the main places in the lakes. Great weekend and the Watermill Inn pub is 200 yards and had a fantastic night out there.

    Hosts were very pleasant, the house is quaint in a great location. It's very quiet despite being on the main road. Didn't see or hear another guest.
