Mr and Mrs Richardson were incredibly welcoming, and very friendly. We will go back to The Cottage or to the other property on the farm so what follows here is for information .... Unfortunately, the cottage was tired and dated in terms of decor, furniture, t.v and lack of wifi. The cottage is very old and converted a few decades ago so expected issues with layout etc. Beds very clean and quite comfortable but rooms could take a larger bed than a double. Shower in the main bathroom was terrible, and no over bath shower in the en-suite. In addition, we found the cottage to be cold, especially when returning from a chilly, wet day on the fells. That said, Mrs Richardson had provided several electric heaters which provided instant localised heat. The cooker in the kitchen was small and dated and the shelves kept collapsing which caused chaos and much hilarity!
All in all though we had a great week, especially considering the cost for October half-term in The Lake District. Mr and Mrs Richardson were great hosts!
