At the front of the property is the traditional entrance porch with timber clad slate seats (a sunny place to sit and read the morning papers or simply watch the world go by) leading into a spacious panelled hall with Minton tiles, leaded window and oak beams.

At the other end of the hall the rear door (the main entrance) leads directly into the private cottage garden with patio furnishings. The extremely spacious yet cosy LOUNGE with wide screen SmartTV  beautifully furnished with deep cushioned sofas, a window seat, Laura Ashley fabrics and the all important warming open fire set in a magnificent oak and stone surround.

PETS  Up to 2 well behaved pets are welcome for which we do not make an additional charge. As we have recently renewed the carpets throughout we must ask for a precautionary £50 returnable deposit. We do not expect to find any evidence of the pet at the end of the visit.

If you enjoy low level walks the track adjacent to the property leads directly onto the fells and our personal favourite is onto Todd Crag and beyond. The views are fabulous! We are not alone for others have recorded the views on their web site. If you have a few minutes to spare click here. You will see Todd Crag House as part of their portrayal.
