Fabulous cottage - everything you could want

We stayed at the cottage April 2025 for a week. The cottage is in a great location, quiet with amazing views but a short drive from Ambleside and other villages. The cottage is very large, all rooms are big with ample space. It’s very well maintained with everything you could want for your stay - would highly recommend. I gave the check in process three stars only because you have to drive to Elterwater to get the key and return it - it’s only ten minutes up the road but a key safe on the property would be easier. Nonetheless the staff were really helpful and collecting the key was no problem.
