Reviews

"A hidden gem nestled on the outskirts of Kendal with beautiful scenery everywhere you look. Truly a magical place to spend some quality time with family and friends. The place has everything you could want and more. Whilst the pictures look beautiful, it still doesn’t do it justice. As soon as we arrived we were blown away with the quality of the furnishings throughout the home and the outside spaces.
Log burning hot tub was a lovely experience, overlooking fields and a river. Will be even better in the warmer weather. Will definitely be returning for any special occasions we have coming up. If considering this as a little break away from the hustle and bustle of day to day living, do not hesitate as you won’t be disappointed."
